I have a steady stream of raw footage ready to be turned into thumb-stopping clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. My aim is a relaxed, casual vibe that still feels modern and professional. What I need from you • Tight, clean cuts that keep the story moving without over-editing • Smooth transitions and on-beat rhythm edits that flow naturally with the music • Burned-in subtitles/captions that are easy to read and match the pacing • Tasteful sound effects and basic visual effects to underline key moments • Consistent color, audio, and aspect ratio (vertical 9:16) so everything looks cohesive across the three platforms Turnaround Speed is crucial—I’m looking for someone who can deliver the first drafts ASAP and iterate quickly on feedback. Deliverables 1. Final 9:16 video file (up to 60 s) in H.264 .mp4 2. Separate caption file (.srt) if captions aren’t baked in 3. One revision round included within 24 h of my notes I’ll supply the raw clips, reference timestamps, music choices, and a brief for each video. Please share links to at least three short-form edits you’ve completed that showcase your pacing, caption styling, and overall polish. If everything aligns, there’s potential for an ongoing weekly workflow.

Nine-by-sixteen safe zones matter here. If captions aren't locked to that crop from the raw footage, they clip on Reels but not on Shorts. I'd set caption position once, before cutting, so all three platforms match without separate passes. Can send recent cuts showing pacing and caption styling. Is there a video you've seen with the vibe you're after, or should I build the pacing off your music picks?
