Service — Short-Form
Short-Form Video Editing for TikTok, Reels & Shorts
Short-form is unforgiving: you get roughly one second to earn the next thirty. The edit has to carry the pacing because there's no runway to build interest. I cut short-form for brands and creators posting consistently, where the goal is a repeatable format that performs — not one lucky video.
What you get
Included in every project
First-frame hooks
Openers built to stop the scroll, with the payoff visible or promised immediately rather than teased for ten seconds.
Retention-driven pacing
Dead air, filler words and pauses removed. Cuts timed to keep momentum without feeling frantic or over-edited.
Styled captions
Burned-in, word-level captions matched to your brand — because most of your audience is watching on mute.
Vertical-native framing
Reframed for 9:16 with the subject properly placed, and safe margins that keep text clear of platform UI on every app.
Process
How the work runs
Format & reference
We agree on the format and pacing style up front, so the series looks consistent instead of every video feeling like a one-off.
Selects & hook
The strongest moment is identified first and the video is built backwards from it.
Cut & caption
Tight assembly, captions, sound design, and any b-roll or graphics the point needs.
Batch delivery
Delivered as a batch with consistent naming, ready to schedule across every platform.

FAQs
Common questions
- Can you edit a batch of videos every week?
- Yes — recurring batch work is how most short-form clients run. We agree on a weekly or monthly volume and a delivery day, and it runs on retainer so you're not re-briefing every time.
- Do you follow a consistent style across videos?
- Yes. We lock the caption style, pacing and graphics treatment in the first batch, then every video after that matches it. Consistency is what makes a feed look intentional.
