A strong YouTube Short needs to earn attention immediately, and the main challenge here is turning a longer source video into a 30 to 60 second cut that feels intentional rather than simply shortened. The first few seconds, pacing, captions, and sound design all need to work together to keep viewers watching. Portfolio – Short Form Video [login to view URL] I can create both vertical edits in 9:16 at 1080x1920, using a strong opening hook, tight cuts, dynamic captions, and clean sound design that follows the style references you provided. I work with Davinci resolve and can deliver the final videos along with the project files for your archives. I can also complete both edits within a quick turnaround while keeping the $9 per video rate in mind. Watermelon. How soon will the source YouTube videos be available so I can start working on the two cuts??

WATERMELON THE STYLE YOU’RE AFTER IS LESS ABOUT HEAVY EFFECTS AND MORE ABOUT MAKING THE A ROLL FEEL CONSTANTLY SUPPORTED BY THE RIGHT VISUAL. I checked the reference direction, and the structure is clear: the speaker carries the message while relevant B roll keeps the screen moving, with captions reinforcing the important points rather than competing with them. That is the part I would focus on most because a 30 to 60 second short can lose retention quickly when the visual changes do not match what is being said. For each video, I would build around a strong first 2 to 3 seconds, remove dead space, tighten the pacing, add dynamic but readable captions, select B roll that actually supports the A roll, and finish the sound so the result feels polished rather than like a source video cut down for social media. I can work in Premiere Pro or CapCut and provide the final video and editable project files. I can complete both videos within 2 days, with revisions handled as needed. Do you want the B roll to stay closely literal to what the speaker says, or can it also be used more creatively to reinforce the message?

The biggest risk here is losing the hook in the first few seconds or ending up with captions and sound that feel generic instead of built for retention. I’ll cut each snippet to land fast, keep the vertical framing clean, and shape the pacing so every beat earns the next one. I’ll take the source video and turn it into polished 9:16 shorts with strong openers, dynamic captions, and tight audio moments that support the cut instead of sitting on top of it. I work in Premiere Pro and CapCut, and I’ll keep the finish crisp enough to feel ready for your agency’s client work, not just a rough social cut. - Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/mqazi1000 - Final video files and project files included - Revisions handled as needed Watermelon. Would you like the captions styled to match one of your references exactly, or just the overall pacing and feel?
