Social media video editing


Turn your footage or campaign film into short edits for Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and paid social. We shape the opening, pace and message for each cut, then adapt framing, captions and graphics to the agreed placements.



What we make

  • ●Short edits from rushes, interviews, product footage or an existing master.
  • ●Alternative openings and cutdowns for different messages or audiences.
  • ●Vertical, square and landscape versions, with text positioned for each format.
  • ●Captions, kinetic type, branded end cards and motion graphics.
  • ●A named delivery batch with agreed lengths, ratios and language versions.

For longer edits and broader editorial work, see video editing.

Tools

Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.

How the work runs

Your brief

Send your footage, brand assets, channels and deadline. We review the material and agree what the job needs.

The edit

We agree the messages, lengths, ratios and revision rounds before editing. You review the cuts before we finish the batch with colour and sound.

Final files

Files are named by placement and version. Translations and multi-market batches can be scoped with versioning and localisation.

The message can stay consistent, but framing, pacing, text and length may need to change. We agree the required versions rather than simply cropping the same file.

Yes. Captions, animated type, motion graphics and end cards can be included in the agreed scope.

By the day, with the required cuts and versions scoped before work starts. The number of source clips, edit variants and review rounds affects the work.

Motiohead have been an absolute pleasure to work with - consistently high quality work, very speedy, trustworthy and well priced. I'd definitely recommend to others and I'd also definitely work with them again. They are also excellent communicators and are very accommodating with updates to briefs, which has been a real help. We'll be working with Motiohead again for sure.

We have used the company several times for video and editing jobs. They have always been very professional, had great equipment, understand the brief, and edited the video to our exact specifications. We have used them more than 10 times and will continue to do so going forward. Great work.

Motiohead were fantastic for our latest documentary project. We handed them a ton of research, and they transformed it into brilliant, clear, cinematic motion graphics that drove the story. They were incredibly fast and delivered without any fuss. If your film needs high-end visuals then motiohead are a great choice!

Motiohead have been incredible during our post production edit process. Turning around edit after edit with very tight deadlines. They understood quickly what we required and actioned accordingly. A huge thank you to project manager Arseniy who has provided a 1st class service and delivered this project and also our super star editor Mark. Thank you to the Motio team and I look forward to working with you in 2023! Highly recommended:)

We also found them to be flexible and patient, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, a great value partner.

Enjoyed working with the team, our fist time experience was flawless. Motiohead understood and followed the brief and did not hesitate to ask where things were not clear. Shared professional opinion and triple checked that we were satisfied before issuing invoice. Excellent customer service overall and would highly recommend. Will certainly use services again. Thanks.
