Cinematic Instagram Reels Editor Needed
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
I shoot lifestyle and daily vlogs every week and want each story to land on Instagram as a slow, cinematic Reel that still hooks viewers from the first second. All raw clips will be supplied; what I need is your craft in turning them into vertical 1080 × 1920 masterpieces.
Each edit must feel seamless—smooth cuts that keep the pace gentle yet engaging, fluid transitions that never distract, and on-brand text animations that highlight key moments without clutter. A carefully chosen background music track should sit just beneath the dialogue, and subtle color correction has to bring out a warm, natural finish. Whenever dialogue or ambient sound matters, clean subtitles are required so the message is never lost.
Key engagement elements to include in every Reel:
• Text animations
• Smooth cuts and transitions
• Background music
Deliverables
• One fully edited Reel per assignment, exported at 1080 × 1920 (MP4, H.264) and optimized for Instagram’s compression
• Matching thumbnail frame pulled from the final cut
• Project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve) for future tweaks
Turnaround is important—I generally need the first draft within 48 hours of sending footage, and the final version after feedback within another 24 hours. Please share a portfolio that proves your feel for slow, cinematic editing on short-form platforms and let me know your per-video rate. There is steady, long-term work here for the editor who can consistently deliver this level of polish.
