I’m looking for a video editor for a paid trial batch of 5 short-form vertical videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. I will provide the raw footage. The editor should review the footage, identify the strongest moments, and create engaging short-form stories without requiring me to provide exact timestamps for every clip. Deliverables: • 5 vertical videos (9:16) • Approximately 30seconds –1 minute and 60 seconds each • Strong hooks and storytelling • Clean cuts and natural pacing • Professional color grading/color matching • Captions/text where appropriate • Audio enhancement and sound design where appropriate • High-quality final exports I will provide a reference video for the quality and feel I’m looking for, but it should not be copied as a template. Each video should be edited according to what best serves the content. Trial budget: $100 USD for 5 videos. If the trial is successful, this may become consistent weekly work. We have discussed an ongoing rate of $125 per batch of 5 videos after the trial. Also open to hilarious moments and more! Content can include funny, surprising, relatable, emotional, informative, or thought-provoking moments. EXAMPLE FOOTAGE LINK : [login to view URL]

Hi there, I would love to take on this trial batch and show you consistent, story-driven results across your platforms. My process: - Review all raw footage carefully to find natural hooks and standout moments - Build 5 vertical edits, 9:16, each roughly 30 to 60 seconds - Apply clean pacing, color matching, captions, and sound design tailored to each clip's mood - Use your reference video only as a feel guide, not a template, so every edit stays authentic to your footage If a clip lacks a strong opening moment, I will restructure the sequence or add motion text to create one. I am ready to start on the $100 trial and continue at $125 per batch afterward. Best regards, Andianus

Footage that doesn't get cut with intention won't get watched with intention. I'll turn your raw clips into 5 engaging vertical stories—finding the strongest moments, building a clear narrative, and keeping the pacing tight. Each reel will have a strong hook, clean cuts, professional colour grading, captions where they add value, and audio that feels polished. I'll work without timestamps, using my eye for what works best in each clip. Here's what you get: • 5 vertical videos (30‑60 sec each) with strong storytelling and retention‑focused pacing. • Clean colour grading, sound design, and captions where they add value. • Final MP4s ready for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts—plus a 15‑second teaser for Stories. Edited 40+ short‑form videos that consistently boosted retention and engagement. 5‑star rated — check my profile for full portfolio and client reviews. I'll send you a full watermarked draft before you release the milestone—approve the flow, then I deliver the clean files. No payment is required until you're happy with the quality. One revision round is also included. Should I prioritise maximum retention or story impact for these first 5?

THE SAMPLE YOU SHARED FEELS LESS LIKE “CONTENT FOOTAGE” AND MORE LIKE A MOMENT PEOPLE SHOULD GET TO EXPERIENCE WITH YOU. I watched the sample, and what stood out to me was the natural storytelling: the restaurant experience, the food, the atmosphere, and the genuine reactions. I wouldn't approach your footage by forcing every clip into the same fast-paced editing template. My first job would be to watch through the raw footage and find the moments that actually tell the story. Sometimes that might be a funny reaction, an unexpected moment, the anticipation before trying the food, or simply a beautiful shot that helps the viewer feel like they're there with you. For the 5-video trial, I'd look for different angles within the footage so each Reel has its own reason to exist funny, surprising, relatable, satisfying, or genuinely interesting moments. I like that you've said the reference should guide the quality and feel rather than become a template. That's important because I'd want the edit to follow what is actually happening in your footage, not force your content into someone else's style. One question: beyond restaurant and lifestyle experiences like the sample you shared, what other types of moments do you usually film? That would help me understand the range of stories I'd be looking for if we continue working together. I’d be happy to start with the paid trial and let the 5 videos show you how I approach your footage.
