How do you edit your Instagram shorts, and what apps or tools (like Claude) do you use?

My Instagram shorts are 100% manually edited—I speak directly, using a teleprompter with a pre‑written script, then hand the footage to an editor who uses a simple Premiere Pro template. The process is straightforward; the only hassle is dealing with my messy hair during recording, but it’s manageable.

What is your process for creating high-quality Instagram shorts, and do you do it yourself or with editors?

He works with a single editor. He spends about ten minutes a week recording a batch of shorts, then the editor assembles them. They gather AI news from multiple sources, filter out low-value content, and the editor writes scripts from the valuable material. He reviews and tweaks the scripts, puts them in a Google Doc, imports them into a teleprompter, and records lines like 'You don't need ChatGPT anymore. Wait for blank.' He gives the footage to his editor, who uses a simple top/bottom template to create the videos. They're bringing on additional team members to help the editor avoid bottlenecks. The editor then produces videos showing the tools in action, they spend a little money to sign up to the platforms, and publish on Instagram, aiming for one short per day.

How are your Instagram videos edited—do you edit them yourself or outsource, and if outsourced, how did you find your editor?

I have an editor for Instagram whom I found after making an offhand comment about an anime I was watching in a YouTube video. He reached out, offering to help grow my page, mentioning his love for anime and that he runs a big anime community. I appreciated his candid, value‑focused outreach and took him up on it. We've had a great relationship, and he's been helping me a lot with Instagram.
