Cinematic Travel Vlog Editing

I’ve shot a heap of travel-vlog clips and now need them woven into a polished, cinematic story that stands out on social media feeds. Think smooth pacing, tasteful transitions, rich color-grading, and music that builds atmosphere rather than drowns it. You’ll be working with raw footage (mix of 4K and 1080p) and a folder of reference songs. The final piece should feel film-like yet remain punchy enough for Instagram Reels and TikTok—roughly 60-90 seconds, vertical (9:16), with captions burned in. Preferred tools are Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro so I can open the project later if needed, but I’m open to DaVinci Resolve if that suits your color workflow better. Light motion graphics for location callouts or map animations would be a bonus. Deliverables • Final edited video, 9:16, H.264, 1080 × 1920 • Separate 16:9 export for YouTube Shorts (same cut, different crop) • Project file with all assets properly linked I’ll share a Dropbox link to the footage as soon as we agree on the timeline. Looking forward to seeing how you turn my trip into a cinematic moment worth re-watching.
