Short-Form Content

Reels, Shorts, and TikToks your audience actually watches.You bring the raw footage—we make it impossible to ignore.

If you're sitting on a camera roll full of ideas and half-edited clips, we turn them into scroll-stopping short-form content across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

What's included in short-form edits

Short-form either hits immediately or gets swiped past. We build around that reality.

  • Vertical-first formatting

    Proper 9:16 edits for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok with the right specs, safe zones, and aspect ratios for each platform.

  • Captions & on-screen text

    Bold, on-brand captions, emojis, and overlays that feel native to the platform—not like an exported template from somewhere else.

  • Pacing, transitions & trending audio

    Fast cuts, considered transitions, and audio choices that match your brand and the moment—not just whatever is top of the charts.

  • Multi-platform optimisation

    Variations tailored for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts so each platform gets a version that feels built for it.

  • Batch edits & repurposing

    Multiple clips pulled from one recording session, so you can post consistently without filming every single day.

Who it's for

If you're treating short-form as a real marketing channel—not an afterthought—we're on the same page.

C

Creators & personal brands

You're building an audience and know you should be posting daily—but editing is where the plan falls apart.

B

Brands & in-house teams

You use short-form as a real acquisition and awareness channel and need a reliable partner to keep the pipeline full.

L

Long-form repurposers

You run a YouTube channel or podcast and want each episode sliced into high-performing short clips for discovery.

What changes when we handle your short-form

Your presence stops being "when we have time" and becomes a consistent part of how people discover you.

A real posting cadence

Batch editing and planned drops mean your feed stays active, even when your schedule is a mess.

Better watch time & saves

Strong hooks, clean captions, and the right runtime give each clip a better shot at being watched, saved, and shared.

Less time in CapCut, more time on strategy

You stop tinkering with edits at midnight and start focusing on ideas, offers, and everything that actually moves the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What platforms are short-form clips optimised for?

All short-form clips are formatted for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts as standard. Vertical 9:16 formatting, caption placement and aspect ratios are optimised for each platform's feed and algorithm requirements.

How long does short-form video editing take?

Most short-form clip packs are delivered within 3 to 5 business days on average. Exact turnaround is confirmed at briefing depending on clip volume and current capacity. Rush delivery within 24 hours is available for an additional 30% fee.

Are captions included in short-form editing?

Yes — captions are included as standard on all short-form packages. Captions are accurately timed, styled to match your brand and formatted for vertical viewing on mobile screens across all major platforms.

What is hook optimisation?

Hook optimisation means the first 1 to 3 seconds of each clip are edited specifically to stop the scroll and retain viewers. This includes trimming, reordering and text overlays to maximise the opening impact of every clip.

Can I provide raw footage or does it need to be pre-edited?

Raw footage is preferred. The editor selects the strongest moments, trims and sequences the clip for maximum engagement. Pre-edited footage can also be repurposed into short-form clips if that better suits your workflow.

How many clips can I get from one piece of footage?

The number of clips depends on footage length and content variety. Typically one 30 to 60 minute recording produces 6 to 12 usable short-form clips. The 12 Clip Pack suits longer recordings with varied content throughout.
