Retro Music Reels Editor

I’m sitting on a growing archive of live performances and studio sessions that need to be sculpted into short-form music reels for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Each clip should feel like it was dug out of a 90s Hi-8 camcorder: warm color shifts, light film grain, soft flicker, occasional VHS glitches—anything that sells that unmistakable vintage/retro vibe while still keeping the rhythm tight to the beat. Here’s how I see our workflow: • I’ll drop raw footage, reference tracks, and a rough outline into a shared drive. • You trim the best moments down to 15–60 seconds, sync them perfectly to the music, layer on those retro treatments, and return a first draft. • We run one or two feedback rounds, then you export vertical 1080 × 1920 masters plus lightly compressed social-ready versions (H.264). Because there’s no hard deadline, you can pace the edits around other commitments—ideally delivering two to three reels per week once we find our rhythm. Consistency matters more than speed; I’d rather receive polished, on-brand pieces than rush the aesthetic. If you thrive on music video storytelling and have a toolbox full of retro plug-ins, LUTs, or analog overlays, let’s chat. I’m ready to start as soon as you are.
