About
What we need
A reliable, creative editor to turn raw footage into high-retention short-form videos that fit platform-native trends while staying on-brand.
Scope of Work
You'll edit short-form videos for:
- TikTok
- Instagram Reels
- YouTube Shorts
Typical edits include:
- Tight cuts with strong pacing (no dead air)
- Hook-first structure (first 1–2 seconds matter)
- On-screen captions (clean + readable)
- Sound design (SFX, whooshes, emphasis hits) when appropriate
- B-roll inserts / zooms / punch-ins / simple motion graphics
- Light color correction to keep footage crisp
- Meme-style timing or trend formats (when it fits)
Deliverables
- 9:16 vertical videos (1080x1920), optimized for each platform
- Length usually 10–45 seconds (sometimes 60–90 seconds for tutorials)
- Burned-in captions + a clean version without captions (when requested)
- Final exports + project files (preferred) OR organized assets so we can revise later
Volume & Cadence
Starting with (5–10) videos/week (flexible based on your capacity and performance)
Turnaround: 24–72 hours per batch depending on complexity
Style References (what we like):
- Fast-paced, modern short-form with clear captions
- Attention-grabbing hooks, quick pattern interrupts
- Action sports vibe: energetic, fun, "on-mountain" authenticity. (We'll provide examples of the exact style we want.)
Requirements
You are a fit if you:
- Have a portfolio of short-form edits (TikTok/Reels/Shorts)
- Know how to edit for retention (pacing, hooks, story beats)
- Are strong with captions (timing, emphasis words, readability)
- Understand platform-native trends without making everything feel "templated"
- Can hit deadlines consistently and communicate clearly
Tools: CapCut Desktop, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve — all fine.
(We use CapCut Desktop and often shoot on action cams like Insta360/GoPro.)
Workflow
- We share raw footage via Google Drive/Dropbox + a short brief (goal, vibe, CTA)
You return:
- V1 edit
- 1 round of revisions included (additional rounds as needed, but we keep it efficient)
We'll build a simple style guide together so edits get faster over time
Paid Trial (important)
We'll start with a paid test project:
- 3 short videos from the same raw footage to confirm style + workflow
- If it's a fit, this becomes ongoing weekly work
Budget / Payment
Please provide:
- Your rate (per video or hourly) and what it includes (captions, revisions, etc.)
- Your weekly capacity
- Your typical turnaround time
Must-Haves (Business/Legal):
- All work is work-for-hire (we own the final edits and deliverables)
- Content is confidential until posted publicly (we may ask for an NDA)
Contract duration of less than 1 month. with 30 hours per week.
Mandatory skills: Video Editing, Video Editing & Production, Short Video, Short Video Ad, Video Advertising, Social Media Advertising, Motion Graphics, Video Production, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Social Media Content Creation, Video Post-Editing, Content Writing, Podcast Content, Videography
