Shorts | Reels with high-retention storytellingSaqib Khanani
The Short-Form Authority Package
This isn't just a video; it's a high-performance asset. Designed for founders and creators who need to dominate the algorithm, focusing on retention editing. I combine psychological pacing, custom motion graphics, and immersive sound design to turn your 60-second clips (or more) into viral-ready content. Ie don't just edit clips, Ie build your visual authority.
The Premium Extras (Depending on budget)
3 Different "Hook" Variations: Delivering three separate versions of the first 3–5 seconds of the video so the client can A/B test which one performs better.
Platform-Specific Optimization: Files specifically rendered and tagged for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts (adjusting for UI "dead zones" where buttons hide text).
Raw Asset Cleanup: Professional noise reduction and audio cleaning to make even phone-recorded audio sound like it was done in a studio.
Cover Image/Thumbnail: A high-contrast, designed still-frame optimized for the explore page or grid view.`
What's included
High-Retention Edit
Advanced pacing with seamless jump cuts, digital zooms, and speed ramping to eliminate any viewer fatigue.
Custom Motion Graphics & VFX
Beyond standard text; includes custom-animated icons, floating elements, 3D pop-ups, and tracked graphics that move with the subject.
Pro Soundscape Design
A multi-layered audio experience including atmospheric background music, high-impact SFX (whooshes, risers, hits), and "ear candy" to keep the viewer locked in.
B-Roll & Stock Integration
Sourcing and editing in high-quality 4K stock footage or cinematic overlays to visually represent abstract concepts.
Color Grading
Professional skin-tone correction and a "signature look" color grade to make the footage look high-end, regardless of what camera it was shot on.
Premium "Kinetic" Captions
Hand-animated, brand-specific captions with custom colors, fonts, and emojis that highlight key keywords in sync with the speech.
FAQs
This tier involves deep-level post-production. Every second of the video is scrutinized for retention using custom animations and multi-layered sound design that you can't have in standard caption-only edits
Can you work with raw iPhone footage? Absolutely. Part of the premium service is using professional color grading and audio enhancement to make mobile footage look and sound like a studio production.
Absolutely. Before starting, I do a style sync. You can provide your brand colors, preferred fonts, and even examples of creators you admire. I'll build a custom preset for your brand so that every video feels like a natural extension of your identity.

While this service is focused on execution, our premium clients get a retention audit. If I see something in your raw footage that isn't working, like a slow intro or a confusing call to action. I’ll let you know so your next batch of content is even stronger.
My premium service is priced based on the high level of manual design and animation involved. However, for clients looking to produce 10-15+ videos per month, we can discuss a monthly retainer that offers a more efficient per-video rate while maintaining the highest quality.
