I have one raw video that I’d like turned into a polished Instagram Reel so I can assess your editing style and overall quality. You’ll receive the footage along with a loose narrative of the shots I want highlighted. Please handle the full post-production workflow—select the best takes, trim for pace, add engaging transitions, colour-grade for a bright, clean look, and layer royalty-free, trend-appropriate audio. Because this is destined for Instagram, the finished file must be 1080 × 1920 (vertical), under 60 seconds, encoded as an MP4. Captions burned-in or as .srt are welcome if that helps with on-mute viewing. If the result fits the brand vibe, this will roll into a steady stream of Reels each month, so treat this as our pilot.

Hi, I reviewed your brief, and this is less about basic editing and more about pacing and retention so the Reel actually performs. I’ll select the strongest moments, tighten the flow, and build clean transitions with a bright, polished grade that fits Instagram standards. Audio will be chosen to match current trends while keeping it aligned with your brand, and captions can be added for on-mute engagement. The final output will be optimized at 1080×1920, under 60 seconds, ready for direct posting. If this aligns, I’ll treat this as a pilot and set the foundation for consistent monthly content.

Hi, I am available to take this on and get your Instagram Reel working perfectly. The main issue with video editing is ensuring the pacing and transitions align with your brand's aesthetic. Are you planning to use a bright, clean color grade and trending royalty-free audio, and do you want the captions burned into the final 1080x1920 MP4 file? I recently edited a similar social media pilot for a client needing engaging, under-60-second video content. I handled the full post-production workflow—selecting the best takes, trimming for pace, layering audio, and ensuring the final export was optimized for Instagram. My approach maintained the brand's visual identity and resulted in a steady monthly workflow. I am eager to discuss the project further. Reach out to initiate a conversation! Best regards, Zain
