Algorithm-aware editing

Platform-native video editing rules, tuned per algorithm

Generic vertical video doesn't win on every feed. Our video editing process tunes hook timing, caption style, audio levels, and length per platform — so the same shoot performs natively everywhere.

Video Editing FAQ

Questions before you hand off the edit?

The most common questions service businesses ask about monthly video editing — turnaround, file formats, revisions, pricing, and how we deliver consistent quality across every short-form platform.

  • Median delivery on short-form video editing is under 48 hours from upload to first cut. Long-form YouTube editing runs 4–7 days. Rush 24-hour video editing is available for ad cuts and time-sensitive Reels at a small upcharge.

  • Upload raw footage to Frame.io or Dropbox → editor logs selects in 4 hours → V1 cut delivered within 24 hours with timestamped review link → revision pass + caption SRT + thumbnail at hour 36 → master file and platform-native exports delivered to Drive at hour 48.

  • Yes — every monthly video editing plan covers vertical short-form across Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels. Long-form YouTube and ad cuts are add-ons. See TikTok marketing and YouTube growth if you want strategy + posting bundled with the video editing.

  • Master ProRes 422 (.mov) plus platform-native H.264 exports (.mp4) at every aspect ratio you need — 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square, 4:5 feed, 16:9 horizontal, plus 6/15/30s ad cutdowns. SRT caption files ship with every video.

  • Every short-form video edit ships with burned-in captions tuned for each platform's safe zone and an editable SRT file for YouTube/Vimeo upload. Long-form YouTube editing includes both SRT and YouTube-formatted chapters.

  • You do. Premiere Pro / Final Cut / DaVinci project files, source footage, music licenses, motion graphic templates, and exported masters are delivered to your Drive at the end of every project. Switch agencies tomorrow and your video editing assets travel with you.

  • Yes — unlimited revisions during the active project window. We use Frame.io timestamped comments so feedback is fast and unambiguous. Most short-form video edits land in 1–2 revision rounds; long-form averages 2–3.

  • Revisions inside the active project window are unlimited. Pulling a project back open after final delivery counts against next month's edit volume — but it's never billed extra as a one-off.

  • Monthly video editing plans are priced by output volume — typically 8, 16, or 32 short-form video edits per month, with optional add-ons for long-form YouTube editing and ad cutdowns. See plans & pricing or book a strategy call for a custom quote in 24 hours.

  • Absolutely. Ad-only video editing packages cover hook tests, 6/15/30s cutdowns, and platform-tuned exports for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube ads. Pairs naturally with our paid ads team if you want the creative and the media buy under one roof.

  • Standard music licensing (Artlist, Musicbed, Epidemic), stock footage clips, sound-design libraries, and motion graphic templates are all included in the monthly video editing fee. Custom-scored music or talent-licensed tracks are passed through at cost.

  • Yes. Onboarding includes a brand-style call where we lock fonts, color treatment, motion graphic templates, transition language, sound design, and pacing references. Every subsequent video edit follows that style guide so your feed looks like one brand, not ten freelancers.

  • Vertical short-form video editing is most of what we do — HVAC ride-alongs, contractor jobsite walkthroughs, restaurant chef demos, med-spa procedure recaps. We know the hooks, B-roll cadence, and CTA timing that convert for service-business audiences.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro is our master timeline. After Effects for motion graphics and lower-thirds. DaVinci Resolve for color grading and sound mix. Final Cut Pro for FCPX-native delivery. CapCut Pro for TikTok-native edits. Frame.io for client review. Descript for AI-driven transcript editing.

  • Yes — full long-form YouTube editing including jump cuts, B-roll layering, music ducking, motion graphics, chapters, end-screens, and click-optimized thumbnails. Most service-business YouTube channels we edit average 3–10 minute videos.
