Service / Short Form
Short form that stops the scroll.
Vertical editing for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, built to hook in the first second and hold to the last, for creators, coaches and brands.
01 / The edit decides
Short form is its own craft,
built for retention.
A short form clip is not a long video made smaller. It is a different format with different rules. The hook decides whether someone stays. The pacing decides whether they watch to the end. The captions decide whether they engage with the sound off.
We edit with retention in mind. Every cut, caption and graphic is built around the first second, because on social, that is all you get. We edit from podcasts, long form videos, talking head content and raw footage, reframed and repackaged for the platforms where attention lives.
