Short-Form Video Editing for Instagram Reels & YouTube Shorts

I help creators, personal brands, and content-driven businesses transform raw footage into engaging, high-retention short-form videos built for today’s fast-scrolling platforms. My focus is not just making videos look good, but making them perform.

My editing process is retention-first. I structure the first few seconds to hook attention, maintain clean and intentional pacing throughout, and use visuals, captions, and motion graphics only where they add clarity or emotional impact. The goal is simple: keep viewers watching without overwhelming them with unnecessary effects.

What you can expect from my edits:

• Strong hook-focused openings that stop the scroll
• Clean, professional cuts with natural pacing
• Clear, readable captions optimized for mobile viewing
• Subtle motion graphics that support the message
• Thoughtful sound design and background music
• Platform-ready 9:16 exports for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts

I work best with talking-head, commentary, educational, motivational, and storytelling-based content. Whether you provide long-form footage to clip down or raw short-form recordings, I adapt to your workflow and maintain consistency across every video.

I value clear communication, reliability, and long-term collaboration. I’m comfortable working with defined brand guidelines, reference styles, and structured feedback to ensure each video aligns with your goals.

If you’re looking for a short-form editor who understands pacing, audience attention, and clean visual storytelling — not just basic cuts — I’d be happy to work with you.
