I’m looking for a creative editor to turn my photos and videos from summer 2026 into something memorable for TikTok and Instagram. I went to the World Cup, and I want that to be a big part of the recap alongside the other moments from my summer.
I want something that feels personal, fun and well put together, with strong pacing, music and a sense of the actual experience. You should be comfortable going through a collection of footage, finding the best moments and suggesting a creative direction. I don’t want to have to pick every clip or tell you where every cut goes.
There are two parts to this project:
1. A vertical summer recap video for TikTok and Instagram Reels. Help choose the clips, build an engaging opening, edit to the music and mix in natural sound where it adds to the story. Handle color correction, sound levels and any tasteful text or transitions. Propose the length and approach after reviewing the footage.
2. An Instagram photo dump / carousel. Help select and order the strongest photos and any short clips, choose a good cover, and make light edits and crops so the post feels cohesive while still looking natural. Suggest a few short caption options. We’ll agree on the final number of slides after reviewing the material.
I’m looking for someone who understands travel, sports, lifestyle and personal recap content. Please bring ideas and show me a few references before committing to the full edit. The World Cup should be a highlight, but the final result should tell the story of my summer.
The workflow would be: review the material, suggest a direction and shortlist, agree on the scope and price, create a first draft, then make agreed revisions. Please specify how many revision rounds your quote includes. I’ll share the footage privately with the selected editor; there is no need to create an unpaid custom sample to apply.
Deliverables should include the finished vertical video, a clean version without added music so platform audio can be added where appropriate, ordered carousel files, and the editable project file with any asset or plugin requirements explained. Use my footage or properly licensed assets, and explain any music restrictions for posting to both platforms. Don’t post or use my material in your portfolio without permission.
Please apply with:
- Two or three relevant edits you personally made, ideally travel, sports, event or personal recap videos. Explain your role if they were team projects.
- An example of a photo carousel you curated or your approach to choosing and sequencing one.
- A brief idea for how you’d approach a summer recap featuring the World Cup.
- Your editing software, availability, estimated turnaround and project price or price range. Tell me what footage volume, video length and revisions that price assumes.
I’m looking for an individual I can collaborate with directly. Strong taste, storytelling and clear communication matter more to me than flashy effects. If we work well together, there could be more personal content projects in the future.
