Video editor needed for reels

Video Editor — Editing Style & Ongoing Content Brief

I’m looking for a video editor to work with on an ongoing basis, primarily creating short-form content for social media.

I’ve included the Instagram page below as a reference for the editing style I’m looking for:



What I particularly like about their content is the overall editing style, pacing, transitions, visual effects, colour grading, text animation, sound design, and polished feel.

I’m looking for someone who can replicate that overall style as closely as possible rather than simply creating a generic “Reels/TikTok” edit.

The main adaptation

The one major difference is that I want to incorporate a talking-head video in the corner of the screen throughout the content.

The primary footage/content would remain the focus, with my talking head appearing as a secondary element — positioned and styled in a way that feels natural within the reference editing style.

I’d want the talking-head element to be integrated into the edit rather than simply looking like a webcam overlay. Things such as framing, masking, borders, shadows, movement, positioning and transitions should all feel intentional and consistent with the overall visual style.

What I’m looking for

Ideally, you would be comfortable with:

* Fast-paced, engaging short-form editing
* Replicating the reference page’s overall editing language
* Dynamic cuts and transitions
* Motion graphics and animated text
* Clean typography and on-screen captions
* Strong sound design and music selection
* Professional colour grading
* Subtle visual effects where appropriate
* Zooms, punch-ins and movement to maintain attention
* Integrating a talking-head element into the composition
* Creating edits that feel polished and premium rather than templated

Content volume

I’m looking to publish approximately 3–4 videos per week, so I’m interested in building an ongoing working relationship with the right editor rather than hiring for a one-off project.

Consistency is important to me, so once we establish the visual style, I’d want that style carried across every video.

What I’d like to know from you

Before moving forward, I’d like to know:

1. Is this style something you’re capable of replicating?
2. How closely can you match the editing, pacing, colour grading, transitions, text animation and overall visual style of the reference?
3. Are you comfortable incorporating a talking head in the corner while maintaining the same polished aesthetic?
4. Can you provide examples of similar work you’ve done?
5. What would your pricing look like for 3–4 videos per week?
6. What would your typical turnaround time be?
7. Would you be comfortable doing an initial test edit so I can see how closely you can match the reference?

The most important thing for me is quality and consistency. I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest editor — I’m looking for someone who can genuinely achieve the visual standard I’m after and become a reliable long-term editing partner.
