Short-form

Short-form video editing for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.

We go through your podcasts, interviews and long-form videos, find the moments worth turning into short-form, and then actually make them good: hook-first openers, burned-in captions, kinetic text, B-roll and cover frames.

Every creator's style is different, so we don't use templates. Auto captions, hand-timed captions, B-roll cutaways or a full animated art treatment — you can see all four applied to the same clip below, and we build custom styles too.

Short-form clips usually come back within 48 hours of receiving the footage.

    You send the footage

    Drive, Frame.io, Dropbox, whatever. We're not making you learn another stupid platform.

  3. 03

    We make the content

    Long-form, short-form, captions, thumbnails, scripts. Whatever you've hired us for.

  4. 04

    You approve it

    You give us feedback. We fix it. You post it.

Questions about short-form

How fast do you turn around short-form clips?

Short-form clips usually come back within 48 hours of receiving the footage. Retainer clients get a fixed weekly schedule.

Can you edit in a specific style?

Yes — including the well-known creator styles people ask for by name. We can also match the style you already post in, or build a custom one around your brand.

Do you pick the clips or do I?

Either. By default we go through the long-form and pick the moments with the strongest hook; you can always send us timestamps instead.
