I need an experienced video editor who can turn vertical clips into fast-paced, scroll-stopping content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Each piece should feel native to the platform: jump-cuts that hold attention, on-beat transitions, dynamic zooms, crisp motion graphics, and readable burned-in captions. Most of the time I’ll supply the main footage, but I’m happy for you to weave in extra B-roll, stock, or meme snippets whenever it levels up the story. Audio selection and sound design are part of the brief—trending tracks, subtle whooshes, whatever helps the hook land in the first three seconds. Deliverables • 3–5 vertical videos (9:16) per batch, 15–60 seconds each • Exported in high-quality H.264 MP4, ready for direct upload • Source project files (Premiere Pro or Final Cut preferred) Acceptance A video is approved when it keeps viewer retention above 70 % in the first draft review, text is typo-free, and colors look consistent across all clips. Quick turnaround and clear communication will keep the workflow smooth. If this sounds like your wheelhouse, let’s get started.

Hello, Your approval criteria caught my attention because targeting over 70% viewer retention means every second has to earn its place. Will the first batch follow one content style, or will each short target a different audience and editing approach? I'll edit each 9:16 video in Adobe Premiere Pro, starting with a strong opening hook, then build the pacing with precise jump cuts, beat-synced transitions, dynamic zooms, clean motion graphics, and readable burned-in captions. When it strengthens the story, I'll incorporate royalty-free B-roll, stock footage, or meme elements, balance the audio with carefully selected trending sounds, and deliver high-quality H.264 MP4 exports together with the organized source project files. Before producing the complete batch, I'll create a short demo from your footage so you can evaluate the editing rhythm, caption style, and overall presentation. After your approval, I'll maintain the same quality across every video, communicate clearly throughout the project, and continue refining the edits until you're completely satisfied with the final results. Please send me a message so we can discuss your content goals, review reference videos, and define the style that best fits your audience. I'll also share similar short-form editing work and can begin immediately with the first sample to establish the creative direction. MD SHER-E ALI

A 70% retention target in the first draft means the hook decision happens before any editing starts, it's about which 3 seconds you pull from the raw footage, not just how fast the cuts are afterward. I edit vertical short-form content full time, over 5 years across Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, and I work in Premiere Pro and Final Cut depending on the project. For each batch I'd start by scanning the raw footage for the strongest hook moment, build the jump-cuts and on-beat transitions around it, then layer in captions, motion graphics, and sound design (trending tracks or subtle SFX) to keep the pacing tight through to the end, pulling in B-roll or stock only where it actually strengthens the story rather than padding it out. I can turn a batch of 3-5 videos around within 24-48 hours, and I'll flag early on if any specific clip feels like it won't hit retention so you're not finding that out only at the draft review. Source project files included with every delivery. I'd love to see a sample of your raw footage or a past video that performed well for you, so I can match the hook style you already know works. Thanks for reading, Mateo A.

Hello, I reviewed your requirements, and the real challenge is building each short around a strong opening hook, pacing, and visual rhythm so viewers stay engaged throughout instead of simply applying effects and captions. Every edit should combine purposeful jump cuts, motion graphics, sound design, and supporting B roll to create platform native content that feels polished while maintaining consistent color, branding, and readability across every video. I have worked on similar TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts editing projects and can share relevant samples once we connect in chat. Also a quick question, do you already have an editing style or creator reference that consistently achieves the retention level you're targeting? Best Regards, Muskan

I focus on creating engaging content that drives results. Transforming clips into captivating videos is no small task. If the pacing and transitions aren't spot-on, viewers will scroll right past your content. Missing the mark here could mean losing potential followers and engagement. I’ll craft each video to be dynamic and native to the platform, ensuring jump-cuts and transitions keep viewers glued to the screen. I can skillfully incorporate B-roll and trending audio to enhance storytelling. The goal is to create videos that not only capture attention but also encourage sharing. I've successfully delivered similar projects, keeping viewer retention high and ensuring quality standards are met. You’ll work with a freelancer who values responsiveness, transparency, and delivering exactly what you need, ensuring a smooth and effective collaboration.
