Short-form video editing
Short videos that earn the next second.
FDM edits vertical videos for brands and B2B teams in India and abroad. Send us the campaign footage, the creator clips or the long recording. We find the moment that stops the scroll, cut it tight, and make sure it still works with the sound off.

Watch every short ↗What to check before you hire a short-form editing team
Shorts you can watch in full
A highlight reel hides whether a team can make one short work from the first second to the end card.
24 published vertical videos on the Work page, under Shorts.
Built for the first seconds
In a feed, people decide almost at once whether to keep watching.
We open on the strongest moment: the product, the expert's point or the action.
Works with the sound off
Many people scroll on mute.
Captions and on-screen text in every short, including Hindi captions for Honest Egg.
Made for vertical, not cropped
A landscape video squeezed into 9:16 loses faces, text and product detail.
Framing, type and graphics placed for 9:16; interview clips are reframed around the speaker.
Approved by the right person
A short that misstates the product or the science spreads faster than a long video.
Your brand owner or expert approves every short. Mega We Care's clips are doctor-led.
A series, not one-offs
One look across many shorts is what makes an account recognisable.
Root Labs and Mega We Care shorts come from campaign and course series edited in one style.
Eight short-form jobs
Eight briefs, eight vertical videos.

Before you brief us
Short-form video questions.
Start with a small batch ↗Who edits short-form vertical videos for brands and B2B teams?
FDM, a video editing and production company in Pune, edits short-form videos for consumer brands and B2B teams. Published examples include campaign shorts for Root Labs, Honest Egg, ONE PT and Wanderlooms, interview recuts for SpotDraft and expert-led course clips for Mega We Care.
What does a short-form video editing service do?
It turns footage into vertical videos that hold attention in a feed: choosing the opening moment, cutting to a tight rhythm, framing for 9:16, adding on-screen text, graphics and captions, and finishing the sound. FDM does all of this in one team.
Can you turn our podcast, webinar or long video into shorts?
Yes. We edit the full recording and cut short clips from it, each built around one point a viewer can use. A person picks the clips, not only an AI tool.
How long should a short-form video be?
As long as the one point needs and no longer. Our published shorts run from about 20 seconds to just under a minute. If a clip needs two ideas, it is usually two shorts.
Do you add captions?
Yes. Captions and on-screen text are part of every short, because many people watch with the sound off. The Honest Egg short, for example, carries Hindi captions.
Which platforms do you edit for?
We deliver vertical 9:16 videos that suit Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn, and other sizes when the footage supports them.
How quickly can you deliver shorts?
It depends on the footage, the number of shorts and how quickly reviews come back. We agree a realistic schedule after seeing the brief, rather than promising one turnaround for every project.
Do you work with companies in India and abroad?
Yes. FDM is based in Baner, Pune, and works with companies across India and remotely with teams in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Europe. ONE PT is in Singapore. Reviews happen on shared links.
How is short-form editing priced?
We quote after a short call, because one campaign short and a monthly series of clips are different jobs. You can start with a small batch before committing to more.
