Freelancers on Osdire can edit short videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, including talking-head content, podcast clips, webinar highlights, faceless videos, product videos, UGC-style edits, and creator content. Some editors also offer niche styles for gaming, tech, vlogs, real estate, and branded social media content.

Before editing starts, share your raw footage link, target platform, preferred aspect ratio, and one or two reference examples. It also helps to provide brand guidelines, caption preferences, callouts for key moments, and notes on what to keep or remove. If you want clips pulled from long-form footage, confirm whether clip selection is included in the package.

Yes. Many short-form video editors repurpose podcasts, interviews, webinars, livestreams, and talking-head videos into shorter clips for social platforms. If you need multiple clips from a single source video, check how many clips are included, whether timestamps are required, and whether the package includes hook writing, captions, and multiple exports.

A revision is a change within the agreed scope, such as trimming a section, adjusting caption timing, swapping a clip, or refining pacing. Extra work refers to any new request beyond the original package. This could include additional clips, different aspect ratios, more versions, advanced motion graphics or significant changes approved after the initial review. Always check the offer details to confirm revision limits and what is included.
