for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.

Services

Short-form editing.

The work includes hooks, captions, pacing, reframing, motion graphics and sound for short-form platforms.

01 / Hook

Video openings

First beats and framing that identify the subject and context.

02 / Captions

Captions

Captions designed for phone screens, timing, emphasis and the way people actually watch.

03 / Motion

Motion graphics

Titles, transitions and visual accents that support the message.

04 / Sound

Sound editing

Dialogue balance, sound effects and music for a finished short-form mix.

05 / Reframe

Portrait composition

Thoughtful reframing and continuity when a horizontal source becomes a vertical story.

06 / Versions

Adaptations for Reels, Shorts and TikTok without treating every platform as identical.
