Vertical clip samples, Santosh Kumar Singh

The same 64-second moment from a two-person interview, three ways: the original footage, a clean captioned vertical edit, and a full vertical edit. These are portfolio samples made from Creative Commons footage, not client work. Back to portfolio

What was done in the full edit

• Opens on the strongest line ("Free software is the only possible basis for computer security") with a hook title in the first second.
• Face-tracked 9:16 crop with punch-in zooms on key lines (for example "The answer is zero" and "is Apple's").
• Word-by-word animated captions. The spoken word is yellow and key terms are cyan.
• 8 B-roll inserts (7 photos with slow Ken Burns motion, 1 video clip) matched to what is being said, with short crossfades.
• Lower-third name title, 7 pop-up key-term labels with emoji, a progress bar and an animated end card.
• Quiet music bed under the speech, soft whooshes on B-roll cuts, loudness normalised to about −14 LUFS.
• Same timeline as the original (no internal cuts), so all three versions line up second for second.
