Shorts and Reels, cut from the videos you already made.
I'm a YouTube Shorts editor for creators, podcasters and personal brands. Send a long video and get back vertical Shorts and Reels with the hook rebuilt, captions on and the pacing set for each platform. If you want them posted as well, I do that too.
A single Short is a flat $20. No minimum, no contract.
A short form video editor for people who already publish.
The Shorts are already inside your long videos. The job is finding them and rebuilding them for a feed that gives you about a second to earn the next one.
Channels with a long-form archive
Years of uploads that stopped working the week they went out. I cut them into Shorts that send new viewers back to the full videos.
Podcasts and interviews
An hour of conversation holds a handful of moments a stranger would stop for. I find them, frame both speakers and caption every word that matters.
Brands posting on three platforms
One recording becomes versions for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, each paced and captioned for where it is going, so you post every day without filming every day.
Real channels, real numbers.
Each one is a channel I worked on, with the breakdown written up in full.
More Shorts work: Alessia Santeramo's posting schedule, Anna-Maja Kazarian's stream clips and AI-animated tarot Shorts.
Four passes on every clip.
The cutting is the easy part. What decides whether a Short travels is which moment you pick and what happens in its first two seconds. The hook formula and how the moments get chosen are written up in full. If most of your archive has never been cut at all, here is why that usually happens.
-
1
Pick the moment
A claim, a reveal, a disagreement: something a stranger understands without the rest of the video.
-
2
Rebuild the hook
The best line usually arrives late. It gets moved to the front so the first seconds state what the clip pays off.

Captions and pacing
Captions sized for a phone and kept clear of faces, dead air taken out, the cut tightened to the speaker's rhythm.

Platform-native versions
Safe zones, length and on-screen text checked for each feed. What changes per platform.
Edited and posted, if you want it off your plate.
Most creators do not stall on editing; they stall on uploading. I can schedule each Short to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok on a calendar you approve, with the title, caption and hashtags written for each platform.
- A posting calendar you see and approve before anything goes live.
- Titles and captions written per platform, not copied across.
- Your accounts stay yours: posting access only, removable at any time.
- Set up as part of a monthly plan; we agree the schedule on a short call.
Flat prices, read straight from the shop.
Buy one Short to see the work, or move to a monthly plan once you post on a schedule. Dirham figures are shown under each price. How these compare with typical editor rates.
Common questions
How much does a short-form video editor cost?
It depends on experience and how much of each clip gets rebuilt rather than trimmed. My prices are flat per Short and listed in the prices section on this page, with monthly plans for channels that post on a schedule. The cost guide shows the wider market.
What is short-form video editing?
Turning a recording into vertical clips of under a minute or so for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. The work is choosing the moment, rebuilding the opening so it holds attention, adding captions and cutting the pace to the platform.
Do you post them too?
Yes. I can schedule every Short to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok on a calendar you approve, with titles and captions written for each platform. Posting is set up as part of a monthly plan, and your accounts stay in your control.
Can a Short get a copyright claim for music?
Yes, if it uses music the channel has no right to. I cut with your own audio, tracks you have licensed or sounds from the platform's library, and flag anything risky in the footage before it goes out.
How fast is delivery?
Within 48 hours of receiving the video link and everything the edit needs. Every Short is delivered and approved in your own client dashboard.
