Short-Form Video Editing
Short form is a different craft to traditional editing. The story has to land in under thirty seconds, the hook has to survive a silent autoplay, and the captions have to carry the whole message on their own.
We cut for retention curves rather than for a director's cut: hook in the first frame, no dead air, pattern interrupts where attention normally drops, and a payoff that justifies the watch. Kinetic captions are styled to your brand, framing respects each platform's safe zones, and every edit is delivered in 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 so the same idea runs everywhere without recropping.

Right fit, or an honest no.
Short-Form Video Editing is worth doing when there is something real to gain from it. If your situation would be better served by something else in the studio — or by nothing at all this quarter — we will say so on the first call.

Worth knowing
Short-Form Video Editing rarely works alone. It sits inside our video editing practice, and we will usually suggest pairing it with one or two of the services further down this page rather than running it in isolation.
Deliverables, not decks.
Here is exactly what lands in your hands at the end of a short-form video editing engagement. Anything extra is scoped and priced in writing before we start, so there is no debate later about what was included.

How we deliver short-form video editing.
The same four stages every time, adapted to the scale of the job. You always know which stage we are in and what comes next.
Brief and footage review
We watch everything, agree the story and the hook, and flag any gaps before an editor touches a timeline.
Story cut
Structure first — pacing, narrative and the beats that hold attention. Approved before we spend time on polish.
Polish and post
Grade, sound design, motion graphics, captions and clean-up. The part that separates competent from premium.
Version and deliver
Every aspect ratio, length and platform spec exported, named sensibly and delivered where your team already works.
You send footage and a brief. You get back a cut that holds attention, in every format you need, with a revision round that does not take a fortnight.
Short-Form Video Editing across industries.
We have run short-form video editing for businesses in each of these categories. The method stays the same; the language, proof and priorities change with the market.

Short-Form Video Editing, answered.
The questions we get asked before a project like this starts, including the awkward ones about price and timelines.
Ask us anythingYes, and most of our best-performing short form starts that way. We will tell you if lighting or audio is genuinely unusable rather than polishing something that cannot be saved.
We can. Hook writing and caption copy are included on retainer, or available as an add-on for one-off edits.
Short-form edits typically land within 48 hours. Long-form and cinematic work runs three to seven days depending on length and grade complexity. Rush lanes are available.
Two rounds as standard, structured so the first is about story rather than pixel notes. Extra rounds are billed transparently by the hour.
Yes. Retained clients run on a template and brand kit system with a dedicated editor, which is how we keep 100+ assets a month consistent.
Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut. We deliver ProRes masters, platform-optimised MP4s, SRT files and project archives on request.
