JOB OVERVIEW

Short-Form Video Editor — UGC, Overlays & Transitions

Location: New York City, NY | Remote Position | Philippines or Similar Time Zone Preferred

We’re looking for a talented short-form video editor to work directly with me on a high-performing social media page. We create content designed to capture attention immediately, maintain viewer retention, and perform exceptionally well on TikTok and Instagram Reels.

This is not a basic video-cutting role. I’m looking for someone who understands how to transform raw footage into polished, engaging UGC videos through creative hooks, high-level overlays, seamless transitions, and professional visual storytelling.

What You’ll Be Doing

Hook optimization: Make the first 1–3 seconds compelling through strong opening cuts, text, visuals, and creative editing that immediately captures attention.

High-level overlays: Incorporate relevant images, screenshots, graphics, headlines, pop-ups, and other visual elements that reinforce the message and keep viewers engaged.

Professional transitions: Create smooth, intentional transitions between clips, images, and scenes. The goal is a polished, dynamic flow—not basic cuts between talking-head footage.

Dynamic editing: Use punch-ins, zooms, reframing, motion effects, speed adjustments, and creative visual techniques to maintain attention.

B-roll and visual storytelling: Understand the dialogue, identify the key points, and pair the audio with relevant supporting footage and imagery.

Retention-focused pacing: Remove dead space, emphasize important moments, and keep the content moving without sacrificing clarity.

Creative independence: Bring your own ideas and editing style to the content while following the general direction and quality standards of the page.

My biggest priorities are hooks, overlays, images, and transitions. I want someone who knows how to make a video feel visually rich, professional, and engaging. Simply adding captions and cutting out pauses is not enough.

Application Process — Required Editing Test

To apply, you must complete the following test. Your three edited videos will be the primary factor in our hiring decision. We want to evaluate the actual quality of your work, not just your résumé or previous experience.

Step 1: Download the Raw Footage

Use the footage linked below to create three separate short-form UGC videos.

Raw footage: ----------

Your goal is to break the footage into three compelling videos, each with its own strong hook, clear narrative, and professional editing.

Pay particular attention to:

Strong opening hooks that immediately grab attention.

Creative, relevant image overlays and on-screen visual elements.

Smooth transitions between footage, images, and scenes.

Dynamic pacing, strategic zooms, and engaging visual changes.

Relevant B-roll and supporting visuals that complement the dialogue.

Overall polish, professionalism, and suitability for TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Step 2: Review My Editing Example

----------

Use my edit as a reference for the general direction and quality I’m looking for. However, I also want to see your own professional judgment, creativity, and editing style.

Don't simply copy my video. Show me how you would elevate the content using your own ideas, particularly when it comes to hooks, overlays, transitions, and visual storytelling.

Step 3: Submit Your Application and Videos

CLICK HERE TO APPLY AND UPLOAD YOUR THREE VIDEOS: ----------

Please submit your application and all three completed videos through the form above.

Important: The professionalism and quality of these three videos will be the primary basis of our hiring decision. Take the time to demonstrate what you can do.

Requirements

Strong experience with CapCut or comparable video editing software.

Previous experience editing TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, or short-form UGC content.

Excellent understanding of hooks, overlays, transitions, pacing, and audience retention.

Strong English comprehension and attention to detail.

Ability to independently interpret dialogue and select appropriate supporting visuals.

Strong internet connection and reliable communication.

Ability to work collaboratively, take constructive feedback, and improve quickly.

Availability for approximately 3–4 hours per day, 5–6 days per week. Days off are flexible, provided your schedule remains consistent.

Ability to receive payments through Wise.

Based in the Philippines or a similar time zone.

Compensation & Growth Opportunity

You’ll work directly with me on a high-performing social media page with significant growth potential.

There is room for performance-based bonuses when deadlines are met and content performs well. As the workload grows, there is also potential for additional hours and increased compensation.

I’m looking for someone reliable, creative, and detail-oriented who wants to develop a long-term working relationship and help produce consistently excellent content.

If you believe your editing can stand out, complete the three-video test and show us what you can do.
