JOB OVERVIEW

Short-Form VWe are looking for a reliable and creative Short-Form Video Editor to join our team and help turn raw video footage into engaging content for social media.

You will primarily be editing Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts featuring talking-head, educational, entertainment, and personality-driven content.

This is an ongoing position for someone who can consistently produce high-quality videos with a fast turnaround.

What You'll Be Doing
Edit short-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
Cut down longer raw videos into engaging short-form content
Remove unnecessary pauses, mistakes, filler, and repetitive sections
Add captions, titles, zooms, crops, and other visual elements
Improve pacing and viewer retention through editing
Keep videos engaging while maintaining the natural personality of the speaker
Organize and manage video files efficiently
Make revisions based on feedback
Deliver completed videos on time
Learn and follow our editing style and workflow
What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

Has experience editing short-form social media content
Is comfortable working with talking-head videos
Has a good understanding of pacing and storytelling
Can recognize which parts of a conversation are important
Has strong attention to detail
Can understand spoken English clearly
Can work independently once given direction
Is comfortable making quick edits and revisions
Can consistently meet deadlines
Is willing to learn and adapt to our preferred editing style
Software

CapCut experience is preferred.

You should be comfortable working quickly and efficiently inside CapCut and handling high-quality video exports.

Experience with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or other editing software is also a plus.

Turnaround

We are looking for someone who can generally complete short-form edits within 24 hours of receiving the footage.

Speed is important, but quality and good judgment are equally important.

Experience

You do not necessarily need years of professional experience.

We're more interested in whether you can actually produce good short-form content.

If you are newer to professional editing but have a strong portfolio and understand social-media content, you are welcome to apply.

Compensation

$3–$4 USD/hour depending on experience and editing ability.

Approximately 20 hours per week, with the potential for additional work as the workload increases.

This is intended to be an ongoing position, not a one-time project.

How to Apply

Please send:

1. Your portfolio or 2–3 examples of short-form videos you've edited

2. How long you have been editing videos

3. What editing software you use

4. Your typical turnaround time for a 30–60 second video

5. Your availability per week

Please make sure the examples you send are your own work.

We will review applications and may provide a short editing test to qualified candidates before moving forward.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who wants to become a long-term member of the editing team, not someone who is simply looking for a few quick freelance projects.

If you're fast, reliable, understand social media content, and take pride in your work, we'd love to hear from you.
