Instagram Video Editing & Trend Analysis

I have a steady stream of raw clips that need to be shaped into fast-moving, high-engagement Reels for Instagram. Each edit should feel native to the platform—think tight pacing, eye-catching openers, and captions that keep viewers watching with the sound off. Beyond simply cutting footage, I also need an analytical eye on current Instagram trends so we can spot what’s working and quickly apply it to our own marketing-focused content. Trend research might include popular hooks, visual styles, audios, hashtags, or posting times, and I’m interested in clear, actionable insights rather than generic reports. Deliverables • Polished Reels per week (≈30–45 seconds each, 9:16, ready to post) • A concise trend summary alongside each batch, highlighting why the chosen style or audio will boost engagement and how we can test it in future edits • Project files (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci) plus exported MP4s • Caption text and recommended hashtags aligned with the trend analysis Acceptance criteria – Videos open with a strong hook in the first 1–2 seconds – Subtitles are accurate, on-brand, and readable on mobile – Trend notes are specific (e.g., “use this viral audio that’s rising on marketing-related Reels”) and linked to measurable engagement goals If you live and breathe Instagram Reels, know how to translate marketing messages into snackable visuals, and can back every creative choice with real data, I’m excited to see what you do with the next batch of clips.
