FAQ

Questions about this service

Which short-form platforms do you edit for?

Cre8te edits for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Include every required aspect ratio, duration and file specification in the brief so your manager can confirm the deliverables.

Can you turn a podcast or YouTube video into short clips?

Yes. You can provide timestamps for specific moments, or explain the themes you want highlighted. The quality and number of usable clips depend on the source recording and agreed scope.

Do short-form edits include captions?

Yes, captions are available. Send any preferred font, colors and styling references, and review names, numbers and specialist terms carefully during approval.

Will you choose trending audio for us?

You should supply or approve any music that needs specific platform or commercial usage rights. Cre8te can edit with the licensed audio you provide, but the service does not guarantee that a sound is trending or cleared for every use.

How long should my short-form video be?

There is no single length that fits every idea. Share the platform, goal and creative direction; your manager can scope a concise cut based on the footage and message rather than forcing every video into the same duration.
