About the Role
Acestar is a growing performance/gymwear brand. We’re looking for a versatile, committed video editor who can deliver clean, cinematic edits and fast-cut action pieces that elevate our brand across socials, ads, and product launches. You’ll collaborate from pre-production through post, guiding how content is filmed and shaping it into high-impact stories.
What You’ll Do
Pre-production & Direction
Provide clear filming instructions (framing, lenses, fps, lighting, movement, b-roll lists).
Help plan shot lists, storyboards, and hooks for short-form and long-form pieces.
Editing & Post
Edit in Adobe Premiere Pro; build motion elements in After Effects (titles, lower thirds, kinetic type, transitions).
Deliver cinematic colour grades, tight sound design, tasteful SFX, speed-ramps, and action-driven pacing.
Create platform-specific versions: 9:16, 1:1, 16:9; add captions/thumbnails where needed.
Brand & Performance
Maintain visual consistency (type, LUTs, brand palette, logo use).
Optimise for watch time, retention curves, and CTR; iterate quickly from performance feedback.
Workflow & Ops
Organise assets, proxies, and project files; follow naming/versioning.
Communicate proactively; hit deadlines; keep stakeholders updated.
Requirements
3+ years professional experience with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Strong English (written & spoken); able to give clear filming guidance.
Proven reel in action/fitness/sports or fast-paced commercial edits.
Demonstrated skills in storytelling, pacing, colour, and sound.
Reliable setup (modern editing machine), stable internet (25+ Mbps), and great file management.
Nice to Have
Experience with product/UGC ads, YouTube Shorts/TikTok, and ecommerce launches.
Basic graphic design for titles/thumbnails; familiarity with
Audio cleanup (RX or similar) and LUT creation.
What Success Looks Like (first 90 days)
Establish a repeatable filming brief for creators/athletes/ambassadors.
Ship a steady cadence of edits (mix of cinematic + fast-cut).
Lift key metrics (retention, CTR, saves/shares) through smart iterations.
Compensation & Terms
Up to $800/month depending on experience.
Paid, subsidised 1-month trial to confirm fit and workflow, then roll into ongoing retainer.
Performance-based increases and longer-term scope available.
How to Apply (must include all items)
Portfolio/Reel links (YouTube/Vimeo/Drive) — timestamp 3–5 pieces relevant to action/fitness.
Short note (5–8 sentences): Why you’re a great fit for Acestar; your approach to cinematic + fast-cut editing.
Recent work breakdown: tools used, your role, and results (reach/retention/conversions if known).
Tech & Internet: workstation specs + speedtest link.
Availability & Rate: weekly hours, timezone overlap with UK, and expected monthly rate.
BONUS (optional): before/after examples (raw ? final) or project files demonstrating organisation.
Sample Responsibilities Week-to-Week
Draft filming brief & shot list for a product drop (gym/action focus).
Edit 2–3 short-form reels (9:16) + 1 longer hero cut (60–90s).
Produce motion titles/lower thirds in AE; export captions & thumbnails.
Review performance, propose two iteration ideas for next cycle.
