Video Editing for Social Media
Social media video editing requires a unique approach. Hook viewers in three seconds or lose them. Add captions for sound-off viewing. Format vertically for Reels and TikTok, square for feeds. Cut aggressively—remove pauses and keep it under 60 seconds. Use close-ups for mobile screens. End with a clear call-to-action. Master these fundamentals and your content will stop the scroll and drive real engagement.
@Eva Toland nice and neat sequence there! I can see your are keeping it tidy with adjustment layers at the top.
