Social Media Video Editing
Vertical video built to stop the scroll — captions, pacing and hooks that work.
Social video is a different craft from long-form, not a smaller version of it. The first second decides everything. Most people watch with the sound off. The frame is vertical, and the subject cannot just be a 16:9 shot with the sides cut away.
We cut social video for that reality: hooks that earn the next three seconds, captions designed to be read at speed, reframing that keeps the subject where the eye lands, and pacing that fits the platform.
Send a long-form asset and we will find the clips inside it, or shoot us the raw material and we will build from scratch.

Social Media Video Editing — common questions
How many clips can you get from one episode?
A good hour-long conversation usually yields six to ten clips that genuinely stand alone. We would rather deliver six strong ones than fifteen that dilute the show.
Do you write the captions or just style them?
Both. Transcription is automatic, but the on-screen text is edited by hand — auto-captions get names, jargon and emphasis wrong, and that is exactly what people notice.
