Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a video editor to help me create a few short-form videos for Instagram/Reels/TikTok in a consistent visual style. The goal is to test the style with a few edited videos first, and then receive a reusable editing template that I can use myself for future videos. Reference style: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXxaXntPCHx/ or https://www.instagram.com/p/DVsAo80gKq2/ (basically just check whole instagram account) I want the videos to follow a similar direction in terms of: * Editing pace and structure * Captions/subtitles style * Fonts and text placement * Colors and overall visual mood * Music and sound effects * Transitions and simple motion graphics * Overall Instagram profile consistency The videos may have different stories or topics, but they should feel like part of the same visual brand. Scope of work: 1. Edit 2–3 short vertical videos in 9:16 format. 2. Create a consistent editing style based on the reference. 3. Add captions/subtitles, music, transitions, effects, and simple motion graphics. 4. After the edits are approved, provide a reusable editing template/project file that I can use for future videos. 5. Provide a short explanation or walkthrough of how to reuse the template. Template handoff requirement: At the end of the project, I need the editor to share the editable template/project file, including: * Caption style/template * Fonts used * Color settings or presets * Transition/effect setup * Music/sound effect references if applicable * Project structure * Any reusable graphics, overlays, or assets created for the project The template should be easy to reuse by replacing the video clips, changing the captions, and exporting a new video. Preferred tools: CapCut (best option), Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or another tool you recommend. Please mention which tool you would use and why. Ideal editor: Has experience editing Instagram Reels, TikTok, or short-form social videos. Understands modern captions, pacing, hooks, and retention. Can match an existing visual style. Can create reusable templates, not just one-time edits. Can explain the workflow clearly. Please include examples of short-form videos you edited before. When applying, please answer these questions: 1. What tool would you use for this project? 2. Can you provide the editable project/template file at the end? 3. Have you created reusable video templates before? 4. How would you recreate a similar style based on the reference video/profile? Please start your response with the word REELS so I know you read the full brief
