What to look for in a Reels & Shorts Editing freelancer
A strong Reels editor understands attention on a small vertical screen. Look for:
- Instant hooks that earn the first three seconds.
- Snappy, rhythmic pacing matched to the audio.
- Clean captions that are easy to read on mobile.
- Platform fluency: Reels, Shorts, and TikTok formats.
- A batch of vertical samples, not repurposed landscape clips.
Ask for one sample clip cut in a trending style before committing to a batch.
