FAQ

How much does editing one Reel cost?

Cost and scope depend on multiple factors: project complexity, number of deliverables, formats, timeline, quality requirements and resources involved.

How long does Reels editing take?

Simple editing takes 1-2 business days. Advanced editing with special effects takes 3-5 days. Express delivery (24h) is possible for an extra fee. Time depends on source length and number of revisions.

What materials do I need to provide?

You need raw footage in the highest quality possible (minimum 1080p), a brief with vision and references, selected audio/music (or request selection), and caption text if needed. Better source materials mean better final results.

Will the editor choose music for Reels?

Yes - most editors can choose trending sounds to increase virality. It's important that music is available in the platform library (Instagram, TikTok). Using licensed music without rights can result in video removal.

What is beat sync and why is it important?

Beat sync is the synchronization of cuts and transitions with the music rhythm. It's a key element of viral Reels - algorithms and viewers respond better to dynamic, rhythmic edits. Good beat sync requires experience and musical sense.

Can I use the same edit across multiple platforms?

Yes, but it's worth adjusting the format. Instagram Reels and TikTok use 9:16 (vertical). YouTube Shorts is also 9:16 but has different caption requirements. A good editor can export for multiple platforms within one price or for a small extra fee.
