JOB OVERVIEW

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 ---------- /Drive.

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.
