Reels & Shorts editing

Stop the scroll.Earn the replay.

Reels and Shorts editing at RaRe Frames costs ₹1,499 per video up to 60 seconds, and the first cut arrives in about 48 hours. We build the hook into the opening seconds, keep the pacing tight, add captions, music, sound design and colour, and export 9:16 for Reels and Shorts plus 4:5 and 1:1 for feed posts. Start with one ₹999 trial edit, or post every week on a plan with 8 or 16 Reels/Shorts a month.

What's included in our Reels and Shorts editing?

Every Reel and Short gets the same six things, from the opening hook to a finished export for each feed.

Hook-first opening

We open on the strongest line, result or visual in your footage and cut the warm-up, so the first seconds give viewers a reason to stay.

Tight pacing

Pauses, retakes and repeated lines come out, and jump cuts, punch-in zooms and cutaways keep a talking head moving.

Captions in your brand style

Word-by-word or highlighted captions in your fonts and colours, readable with the sound off, as in the Creator tips captioned reel.

Motion graphics inserts

Kinetic type, pop-up cards and 3D text for key numbers from motion designers in the same team, like the pop-up role cards in the Content-team cost kinetic reel.

Music, sound and colour

Licensed music or your own track, sound effects timed to the cuts, and colour that stays consistent across a series.

Exports for every feed

A 9:16 master for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, plus 4:5 and 1:1 versions for feed posts, with captions kept inside the safe margins.

Who is Reels and Shorts editing for?

Our Reels editing service is for anyone who posts short-form video every week and would rather shoot than edit. Clients across India and worldwide use it in four ways:

  • Brands and D2C teams: product demos, founder clips, offers and behind-the-scenes Reels, cut to one style so the whole feed looks like one brand.
  • Creators and coaches: talking-head tips and clips from longer videos. If YouTube is your main channel, see video editing for creators.
  • Real estate teams: walkthrough and listing reels with speed ramps and spec callouts, covered in detail on our real estate video editing page.
  • Agencies: white-label Reels for your clients, delivered under your brand with an NDA, and we never contact your clients.

How do you edit the first 3 seconds?

We open on the most interesting thing in the footage, put text on screen from the first frame and cut anything that delays the point. Viewers decide to stay or swipe almost instantly, so the hook is the first thing you check in the rough cut.

Without a speaker, movement does the job: in the 16-second High-energy sales-gallery walkthrough (Godrej Samaris project), zoom-blur transitions and tracked neon outlines carry a fast tour from shot to shot.

For talking-head Reels, the hook usually comes from one of these:

  • Start on the payoff: the result, the number or the punchline, then show how you got there.
  • Lead with a text hook that states the promise in a few words.
  • Cut into the middle of a sentence instead of a greeting.
  • Change the picture early with a zoom, a cutaway or a sound hit.
  • End on a line that leads back into the start, so a replay feels natural.

Which aspect ratios and safe zones do you deliver?

Every Reel is edited as a 9:16 vertical master for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok, and we export 4:5 and 1:1 versions when the same clip also runs in the feed. If a clip needs to work on YouTube or a website, we add a 16:9 version.

Safe zones matter as much as the ratio. Each app lays its username, caption and buttons over the bottom and right of a vertical video, so captions, faces, prices and logos stay clear of them. For platform-by-platform specs, read which aspect ratios to use for Reels, Shorts and YouTube.

Short-form exports and where they run
RatioWhere it runsWhat we check
9:16Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok and StoriesCaptions clear of the bottom overlay and the buttons on the right
4:5Instagram and Facebook feed postsSpeaker and on-screen text kept inside the crop
1:1Square feed posts and LinkedInText resized for the tighter frame, not cut off
16:9YouTube, websites and presentationsB-roll or graphics fill the wider frame

How long does Reels editing take?

The first cut of a Reel or Short arrives in about 48 hours after we have your footage and brief. You check the hook, the story and the pacing, then we finish captions, motion, music, sound and colour and send the final exports.

On the Growth plan, Reels get 48h priority turnaround. For a batch from one shoot or heavy motion graphics, we agree the schedule when you book.

Selected Reels and Shorts work

Vertical edits from our portfolio: talking-head Reels for creators and a design educator, and property Reels for SLVR Stone Realty, the Godrej Samaris project and a 5 Rivers Constructions project.

How much does Reels and Shorts editing cost?

Reels and Shorts editing questions, answered

What does a Reel cost with RaRe Frames?

₹1,499 per Reel or Short up to 60 seconds, or ₹999 for a one-off trial edit. Rates elsewhere in India vary with the editor's experience, the length and how much motion design is involved.

Read the full answer →

How many Reels a month do the plans include?

Creator includes 8 Reels/Shorts and 1 long-form edit a month. Growth includes 16 Reels/Shorts, 2 long-form edits and 2 motion-graphics pieces a month.

Do you use licensed music?

Yes. We use licensed music or a track you supply. Tell us whether the Reel is an organic post or a paid ad, because a track cleared for one use is not always cleared for the other.

Can you edit Reels shot on a phone?

Yes. Send footage from a phone or a cinema camera. Steady framing and clear audio from a clip-on mic make the biggest difference to a talking-head Reel.

Can you cut several Reels from one shoot?

Yes. Send the full shoot and tell us how many Reels you want. Each one is its own edit, at ₹1,499 per video or from your plan's monthly Reels/Shorts.

Do you edit Reels white-label for agencies?

Yes. Your clients see your brand, not ours: we sign an NDA, never contact them, and the first job can be a single test edit.

What size should a Reel be?

9:16 vertical at 1080×1920 pixels, the same size as a YouTube Short. Feed versions use 4:5 or 1:1, and we deliver every format you post in.
