Weekly Instagram Reel Editing

I record short vertical videos every week—each one runs between 30 and 60 seconds—and I simply need them tightened up before they go live on my Instagram feed. The raw clips arrive with a bit of dead air at the start and finish, the occasional stumble in the middle, and sometimes an awkward pause that needs removing. All I’m after is clean, seamless trimming and cutting so the final reel feels punchy and ready to post. No fancy transitions, filters, or motion graphics are required. Here’s how the workflow will look: every Thursday evening (GMT-5) I’ll send you one raw 1080 × 1920 file. By Saturday morning I need back an Instagram-ready MP4 in the same resolution, correctly framed, audio synced, and trimmed to the strongest 30–60 second cut. I’m already comfortable scheduling posts inside Instagram, so your only deliverable is the finished reel plus the matching thumbnail frame if I flag one. To keep things efficient, please tell me about your experience doing straightforward social-media edits—software you use (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, etc.) and how quickly you can usually turn around a file this size. If the first couple of weeks run smoothly, I’d like this to become a standing weekly task.
