I will send you the raw footage and need it transformed into a polished, cinematic-looking short that fits Instagram’s vertical format. The video has to strike a balance between promotional, educational, and entertainment value, so pacing, storytelling, and visual flair all matter. What I’m after: rich color grading, tasteful sound design, smooth transitions, and any subtle motion graphics that elevate the story without overpowering it. The final cut should be ready for direct upload to Instagram Reels—ideally landing between 20 – 60 seconds, delivered in 1080 × 1920 (H.264). When you return the finished file, please include: • The mastered MP4 ready for posting • A project file or edit package (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut—whichever you use) so tweaks are possible later If this sounds straightforward, let me know your timeline and any questions you have about the footage.
