Long Island Streaming produces social and pre-roll video cutdowns for brands across Long Island and the New York metro area — the short vertical and square versions that run where the audience actually is. These are not the TV spot squeezed into a phone; they are their own edits, designed for a muted, thumb-scrolling feed.
How we produce it
Cutdowns are planned into our commercial production workflow from the start — framed for on the shoot day so a vertical version is a real composition, not a centre-crop. See the version tree on the commercial page for how the whole family comes from one master.
We cut :06, :10, and :15 hooks that land visually and in text in the first second, build 9:16 and 1:1 masters, and design captions and key words as part of the frame. Hook variants are provided for A/B testing where the buy calls for it.
What's different about cutdowns
- Mastered vertical and square, never centre-cropped
- Caption-forward, designed for muted autoplay
- First-second hooks — visual and text
- :06 / :10 / :15 variants for testing
- Built from the same locked master as the long form
What you get
- 9:16 and 1:1 masters
- :06 / :10 / :15 hooks, with variants
- Caption and key-word treatment baked in
- Platform-spec exports
- Project files on request
Social video cutdown production across Long Island & NYC
For social and pre-roll video cutdowns in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, Brooklyn, or Manhattan, send us the master or brief us on the shoot. We will build a cutdown set that is made for the feed, not adapted to it.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you crop the 16:9 or master vertical?
Master vertical and square. A crop loses the composition and usually the product or the face; we frame for 9:16 and 1:1 on the shoot day, or rebuild the layout in post rather than centre-cropping.
- Why caption-forward?
Most feed video autoplays muted. The hook has to land in the first second visually and in text, so captions and key words are part of the design, not an afterthought.
- Can you make cutdowns from video we already have?
Yes. Send us the master and the project if you have it; we will build the vertical and square versions and the short hooks from it.
- How many variants do you usually deliver?
Commonly a set of :06, :10, and :15 in 9:16 and 1:1, plus a few hook variants for A/B testing.
