JOB OVERVIEW

Final Cut Pro Editor Needed to Finish 12-Minute Vacation Highlight Video

Budget: $150 Fixed Price (Open to Higher Quotes from Exceptional Candidates)

I have a 15-minute vacation highlight video in Final Cut Pro that is approximately 75% complete and needs an experienced editor to bring it across the finish line.

This is not a project from scratch. The overall structure, music, pacing, and editing style have already been established. I'm looking for someone who can step into an existing project, match the style, and complete the remaining work.

What's Already Done:
• Music selected and synced
• Most cuts and transitions already in place
• Overall flow and storytelling established
• Roughly two-thirds of the footage already edited in the style I'm looking for

What Needs To Be Finished:
• Review remaining unscreened footage
• Select and edit clips for unfinished sections
• Fill gaps where clips have not yet been chosen
• Match the pacing and editing style of the existing video
• Polish pass across the entire project
• Color grade footage throughout for a cohesive, vibrant look

Video Style:
This is an active outdoor vacation video with friends. The style is upbeat, energetic, and focused on capturing fun ---------- nts, scenery, activities, and group experiences.

What I Will Provide:
• Final Cut Pro project (.fcpbundle)
• All source footage
• Unused and unscreened clips
• Notes on the editing style and desired feel
• Reference examples if needed

What I Need Back:
• Completed Final Cut Pro project file (.fcpbundle)
• Final rendered export

Requirements:
• Must actively use Final Cut Pro
• Comfortable working inside an existing project
• Able to match an established editing style
• Good eye for pacing and storytelling
• Experience with color grading outdoor footage
• Reliable communication

To Apply:
Please include:

1. How many years you've used Final Cut Pro
2. Links to 2-3 travel, vacation, action, or highlight videos you've edited
3. Examples of color grading work (before/after preferred)
4. Your fixed-price quote and estimated turnaround time

Timeline:
Ideally completed within 1-2 weeks.

Budget is set at $150 fixed price, but I am open to higher quotes from candidates with exceptional portfolios and strong Final Cut Pro experience.
