Who this is for
Most ad accounts need more video than one person can edit. A brand running paid social wants a vertical ad for Reels and TikTok, a 4:5 version for the feed, a square one for a catalog placement and a wide one for YouTube. Then the media buyer asks for three new openings to test next week. One shoot turns into dozens of files, and each one has to be checked for captions, safe areas and the right end card.
We do that editing. You or your agency plan the campaign and run the buying. We cut the master, build the versions and hand back files that are named so nobody uploads the wrong one.
Services
Paid social ads
Vertical and square ads for Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and Pinterest, cut from your footage with captions and an end card.
YouTube ads
Skippable in-stream ads, 6-second bumpers and Shorts versions, edited for viewers who can skip.
Cutdowns and resizes
One master ad cut down to shorter lengths and reframed for every placement you buy.
Test variations
New hooks, captions, openings and end cards on the same ad, so you can test one change at a time.
Reading the matrix
The drawing at the top of this page shows how one ad becomes many. Each row is a hook, the first seconds that decide whether someone keeps watching. Each column is a length. Inside every cell the bar is drawn to scale: red for the hook, gray for the body, amber for the offer and green for the end card. The small frames under each bar are the shapes exported for that cut. Three hooks, three lengths and three shapes come to 27 files, and the count grows fast, which is why we agree the file list in the quote.
What we don't promise
An edit can make an ad clearer, faster to read and correctly sized for every placement. It can't promise clicks, views, sales or a lower cost per result. Those depend on the offer, the audience, the budget and the product. What a good set of variations gives you is a fair test: versions that differ in one thing, so the numbers in your ad account tell you something.
What to send
A short brief saves a round of questions. A useful one covers:
- A shared folder link with the original footage, product shots, logos and any earlier ads you ran
- The platforms: Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Pinterest or LinkedIn
- The lengths and shapes you need, or the ad placements, so we can work them out
- The offer, the call to action and any lines legal or the brand team must approve
- How many hook or message versions you want to test, and what you want each one to try
- Your launch date and who signs off on the cuts

Common questions
How much does ad editing cost?
It depends on how many master ads you need, how many lengths, shapes and hook versions come off each one, and how much caption and graphics work goes in. We quote each job in writing after seeing the footage and the file list.
Do you run the ads or manage the ad account?
No. We edit and deliver the files. Buying, targeting and reporting stay with you or your agency, and nobody here needs access to your ad account.
Can you write the hooks too?
We can suggest opening lines and on-screen text from your footage and your offer. Any claim about the product has to come from you, and you approve every line before it goes into a cut.
Are the images on this site from real campaigns?
No. The stills are AI-generated samples and the variant matrices are illustrations made for this site. We don't publish client ads without permission.
