Brands with a content calendar and a backlog of recordings.
You are already producing long-form. The gap is turning each recording into the five or six clips hiding inside it before the next one lands.

Video Editing Services
Short form editing for teams that need clips every week, not one at a time
You already have the footage — a podcast, a long recording, a founder talking to camera. The work is choosing which forty seconds can stand alone, reframing it for a vertical screen, and captioning it so it lands in a muted feed.

The brief
The edit is mostly selection
Most short form briefs are really selection problems. An hour of podcast contains maybe six moments that survive on their own — a claim, a disagreement, a number, a story with a beginning and an end inside forty seconds. Finding those decides whether the clip works. The cutting is what happens afterwards.
Then it has to survive the format. A clip lifted from a 16:9 recording needs reframing that keeps the speaker's eyeline inside the vertical crop, captions that carry the line when the sound is off, and an opening that gives the viewer a reason to stay before the first sentence finishes.
What you get
What we edit
Podcast and interview clips
The moments from a long recording that hold up without the twenty minutes of context around them.
Founder and talking-head cuts
Camera footage tightened to strip restarts, filler and dead air so a rambling take becomes a clip worth posting.
Vertical reframes
16:9 recordings recut for a vertical screen with the speaker tracked through the frame rather than centre-cropped out of it.
Burned-in captions
Styled to your brand and baked into the file, because feeds autoplay muted and plenty of placements ignore an uploaded caption track.
Animated shorts
Fully animated pieces for subjects with no footage at all, where the idea has to hold curiosity without a presenter on screen.
Brand and product intros
Short vertical cuts that register the brand before your own content starts, built to hold fine detail at phone size.
Campaign cutdowns
A longer asset reduced to the version each placement needs, genuinely recut rather than sped up.
Batch sets from one recording
A single session turned into a run of clips for a content calendar, in one treatment so the set reads as related.
The workflow
How we handle short form editing
Send the recording
Raw footage, a podcast episode, a long recording, or a video that already published. Nothing needs filming at our end.
We pull the moments
We watch the whole thing and mark the sections that can stand alone, then send them back with timecodes before any editing starts. Disagreeing about a moment is far cheaper than disagreeing about a finished clip.
One clip sets the treatment
A single clip gets built out fully — caption style, framing, pacing, on-screen text. You sign that off, and it becomes the template the batch is cut to.
The rest of the batch
Remaining clips are cut to the approved treatment, so the set looks like one body of work instead of eight separate edits.
Delivery per placement
Final files in the ratios you actually post in, captions burned in, named so they drop straight into a content calendar.
The fit
Who we work best with
Agencies delivering social for clients.
You need clips produced to a consistent treatment, under your name, at whatever cadence the retainer promised.
Founders who record more than they publish.
Footage accumulates because editing is the step nobody has time for. This is that step, handled outside your week.
Who we are not the right fit for: briefs where we would need to film the source footage, teams wanting us to write and direct the content itself, and single one-off clips with nothing behind them. The value here compounds with volume.
The scope
What drives scope on a short form project
Every quote comes down to the same handful of variables:
Source runtime against clip count.
Pulling six clips out of a ninety-minute podcast means assessing ninety minutes. What you send matters as much as what you want back.
Whether the moments are already chosen.
Sending timecoded selects is a different job from asking us to find the moments in the first place.
Caption and text treatment.
Plain readable captions are quick. Word-by-word animation, callouts and kinetic text are a motion job sitting on top of the edit.
Reframing load.
Footage shot vertically needs no reframe. Multi-speaker 16:9 with people moving in frame needs one on every cut.
Extra layers in the clip.
B-roll, screen recordings, graphics and lower thirds each add a pass that plain talking head does not need.
Cadence.
A one-off batch and a standing weekly volume scope differently, because a recurring set stops needing the treatment re-established each time.
We confirm all of this at briefing and quote against a defined scope rather than a guess.
