Reels & Short-form Video Editing

Short-form video editing for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, built around a hook-first structure: the first 1–3 seconds are cut to stop the scroll, then pacing, zooms and sound design keep watch time up. I edit for UAE restaurants, clinics, real estate agents, salons and personal brands in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah that need a steady stream of vertical content without hiring in-house.

Every video gets animated captions in English, Arabic or both — bilingual captions consistently lift retention with Gulf audiences who watch with sound off. Cuts are trend-aware: I track current TikTok and Reels formats, transitions and audio so your content looks native to each platform rather than recycled, while staying on-brand with your fonts and colors.

The workflow is simple: you film on your phone or camera and upload raw footage to a shared Google Drive or Dropbox folder; I return edited videos on a rolling schedule. Single edits start at AED 800 for a small batch, and monthly packages of 10–20 videos bring the per-video rate down for free-zone startups and mainland SMEs posting daily.

How it works

1. 1
   Upload raw footage

   Drop phone or camera clips into a shared Drive folder — no special filming setup needed.

2. 2
   I edit a test batch

   First 2–3 videos establish the style: hooks, caption look, pacing and music direction.

3. 3
   Approve and scale

   Once the style is locked, footage in equals finished Reels out on a rolling 3-day cycle.
