Short-form video editing

Short-form video editing that gets watched, not just posted

You record or send over raw footage. We cut it into short-form built to stop the scroll, then handle the hooks, captions, formatting, and publishing so it actually gets watched.

15 minutes. No pitch. We'll tell you straight if we can help.

Most short-form gets cut, posted, and forgotten

Editing isn't the hard part. Knowing what stops someone mid-scroll is. Right now nobody on your team is doing that job full time.

Your footage sits in a folder while your feed goes quiet

You film calls, talks, or day-to-day footage and it never turns into anything. The raw material is there. Nobody is cutting it into content, so your feed goes quiet between posts.

Generic editors cut clips, not hooks

Most editors trim a video to length and call it done. They don't think about what makes a stranger stop scrolling in the first second, so the clip gets posted and goes nowhere.

Captions, formatting, and publishing eat the time editing saved

Even once a clip is cut, someone still has to caption it, format it natively for each platform, and actually post it on schedule. That job usually falls back on you, and it slips.

You can't tell which clips actually worked

Views move around a little every week and nobody can say why. Without a real review, you keep making more of what doesn't work and less of what does.

Case study · A community app founder

One video, 400,000 views, followers quadrupled

She had raw footage from building her app and almost no following to show for it. We cut one documentary-style video built around her real story instead of a generic pitch. It hit 400,000 views on Instagram, and her following went from around 60 to over 240 off that single piece. A follow-up reel in the same style hit 473,000 views in one week.

Case study · Marion C., De Lune Aesthetics

Followers more than doubled in five weeks

Marion had a following but no consistent short-form engine behind it. We rebuilt her editing around hooks and retention instead of straight posting. Her followers went 2.2x in five weeks, and her first full month of reach came in at 8.8 times her old baseline. One reel alone reached 367,000 people.

Perfect 5.0 rating across the board

Before working with Ben and True Frame, I was spinning my wheels. I was creating content without strategy. Ben and his team built me a system requiring minimal time from me while generating serious results. I've tracked over six figures in converted pipeline revenue from qualified leads who referenced my specific content as trust building and helpful.

We used Trueframe to create our first VSL and some shorter form video content. Before working with them, we didn't know how to script, how to shoot, or how to link video content to our CTAs. After working with them, we had figured all of that out. They're efficient, reasonably priced, and a hard working team.

What sets Ben apart is he actually tracks what matters. Not vanity metrics. We went through my entire content funnel together and he pinpointed exactly where leads were dropping off. Implemented his suggestions and saw a measurable lift in qualified inbound within weeks. Rare to find someone who thinks this systematically.

Working with Ben has been incredible. Most contractors will do the bare minimum without communicating, but Ben is always looking for ways to add value while keeping me in the loop.

I'd never thought to hire someone for content strategy because it seemed simple to me. However, working with Ben for a project immediately opened my eyes. It's the little things in content that he seemingly always catches. I can't recommend him highly enough!

As someone who runs an agency myself, I don't say this lightly: Ben is one of the best in the business. He's constantly at the cutting edge of what's new and he's always FAST to implement those changes. That combination of staying ahead of the curve while consistently producing beautiful work for his clients is rare.

Common questions

What exactly do you edit for me?
Whatever raw footage or recordings you send us, whether that's talking-head content, b-roll, calls, or talks, cut into short-form for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Each piece gets a scripted hook, retention-first cuts, captions, and native formatting before it goes out.
Do I need to already have footage, or do you help me shoot it?
Most clients send us what they already have: calls, talks, phone footage, screen recordings. If you need a shoot day built around a specific format, we can plan that too, but the service works fine off footage you're already generating.
What makes your editing different from a freelance editor?
A freelance editor trims a clip to length. We build every cut around a hook that stops someone in the first second, then structure the middle to hold attention and pay it off, the same hook-above-head, retention-first approach behind our clients' best results.
How many videos do I get each month?
Volume depends on how much raw footage you send over and the plan you're on. The deliverable is a steady batch of shorts every month, not a one-off edit, sized to your recording cadence in the kickoff call.
Which platforms do you edit for?
Usually TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, formatted natively for each one instead of one export reposted everywhere. If your audience lives somewhere else, we build around that instead.
Do you handle captions and publishing, or just the edit?
Both. Captions, native formatting, and publishing are part of the service, along with a monthly performance review so we know which hooks and formats are actually working.
Can you prove this actually works?
One client's followers went 2.2x in five weeks and her first month's reach came in at 8.8 times her old baseline. Another had a single video hit 400,000 views and quadruple her following. We track results like these every month, not just claim them.
