YouTube Shorts editing for UK channels, firms and creators: your long videos and recordings, cut into 20 captioned vertical Shorts a month for a flat $999.
Most UK channels and businesses that record video have the same hidden asset: a back catalogue of long content that gets watched once. Explainer videos, webinars, conference talks, how-to sessions and interviews all contain strong moments that were never pulled out. Shorts are how those moments reach people who would never sit through the full thing.
20CLIPS turns long recordings into Shorts. You send the video and some references. The editor finds self-contained moments, rebuilds the opening so the point comes first, reframes the wide picture for a vertical screen and adds captions, sound and basic motion graphics. The fee is $999 a month in US dollars for 20 Shorts, about $50 each, with 2 revisions per video and no long-term commitment.
The same Shorts can be adapted for Instagram Reels and TikTok under the same plan. For the inclusions see the pricing page, and for the global service see YouTube Shorts editing worldwide.
Anyone who already records long content has the raw material. Video editing for creators and video editing for brands describe how each group uses the package, and podcast clip editing covers audio-led shows.
Every plan includes the same complete monthly system.
The editor looks for an idea that makes sense without the rest of the video. If the viewer needs context, it is brought forward; if they do not, it is dropped.
A Short competes with the next one in the feed. The opening presents the result, a surprising sentence or the question, then the set-up.
A 16:9 source is reframed around the speaker or the action and does not simply shrink into a vertical box.
Accurate captions with a few emphasised words let someone follow with the sound off.
A good Short makes people curious about the rest. What you do with links and descriptions stays with you.
A 30-minute call comes first. You describe your channel and your back catalogue, say what you want Shorts to achieve and agree a delivery schedule that fits.
Then the files go into a shared folder: full videos or recordings, a few Shorts you like and your brand fonts and colours. If you already know the best moments, send timestamps; if not, the editor suggests candidates. Finished Shorts return with 2 revisions each, so a changed opening or a shorter ending is a simple request.
Approved Shorts are ready for you to upload. To work out how many to post, read how many short-form videos to post each week.
Whole recordings beat highlight reels. A two-hour conference session offers a lot more to choose from than the three minutes someone thought were best.
Doing Shorts yourself is realistic for a few, but reframing and captioning twenty takes longer than most people expect. An in-house editor makes sense when a UK business produces video every day, and means salary, employer costs and equipment. Freelancers suit a trial; for a regular feed, the repeated briefing and variation in quality add up.
