Instagram Reels editing and short-form video that stops the scroll
Short video is one of the fastest ways to reach new people. You record, I edit. As your reels editor for hire, I turn raw clips into polished 30 to 60 second reels, from 1 minute reels for Instagram to YouTube Shorts editing, with strong hooks, clean captions and pacing that keeps people watching.

A hook in the first 3 seconds
The first 3 seconds decide whether someone keeps watching. I open every reel with bold text, movement and a reason to stay, often pulling your strongest line to the very start.
Animated on-brand captions
Lots of people scroll with the sound off. Word-by-word captions in your brand fonts and colours, with high contrast and the odd emoji, make sure your message lands either way.
B-roll, zooms and transitions
I cut pauses and filler, add punch-in zooms on key moments and drop in relevant B-roll, so the pace never drags and every second earns its place.
Royalty-free music
Background tracks from royalty-free libraries plus subtle sound effects (whooshes, pops and clicks), mixed so your voice always stays clear.
A branded end card with a CTA
Every reel ends with a clean branded card showing your logo, handle and a clear call to action, like “Follow for weekly tips” or “Book a call, link in bio”.
9:16 export
Delivered as a full-HD vertical video (1080 × 1920), with captions and text placed inside the safe zone so they're never hidden behind likes, comments or your profile name.

Reels editing questions
Frequently asked questions
What you need to know about scripts, faceless reels and how editing works.
Scripting
Do you write scripts?
Yes. I can write hooks and short scripts for each reel, so you know exactly what to say when you hit record and every video starts strong.
Faceless reels
Can you make reels without me on camera?
Yes. Faceless reels can be made from stock footage, screen recordings, text animation and voiceover, so you can post regularly without filming yourself.
