About Us
We are a Toronto-based creative production company (TRE Media, a division of Mshati Productions) producing premium real estate content for agents and brokerages across the GTA. We have shot some of the most expensive listings in Toronto and deliver 3-5 properties per week across photo, video, and 360 tours.
We are not a one-person operation. We have a production team, admin/ops staff, and established systems. We need an editor who can slot into our workflow, own their deliverables, and keep pace without being micromanaged.
The Role
You will be our primary video editor. You will receive raw footage via Dropbox, follow a structured brief, and deliver two formats per property:
1. Horizontal video (1-3 min) - cinematic property tour for MLS, YouTube, and agent websites. Smooth pacing, clean color, logical walkthrough flow.
2. Vertical reel (30-60 sec) - high-energy cut for Instagram Reels / TikTok. Music-driven, punchy, scroll-stopping.
Volume is typically 3-5 properties per week. Some weeks are heavier. You will be expected to manage your own queue.
What We Actually Care About
We have worked with editors who wait to be told what to do, who treat "I need music" as a reason to stop, who go silent for days, and who deliver sloppy first cuts hoping we will catch the problems. That is not what we are hiring for.
We need someone who:
- Starts immediately when footage lands - not 2 days later
- Picks music themselves unless told otherwise (you are the editor - have taste)
- Communicates proactively - "Starting now," "First cut ready by tomorrow 2pm," "This property has a lighting issue, here is how I handled it"
- Self-QCs before submitting - check your own work against the standard before sending it for review
- Hits turnaround times - first cut within 24 hours. Final delivery within 48 hours.
- Follows the system - we use
This is not a casual freelance gig. It is a core production role.
Deliverable Standards (What Done Means)
Every video must pass all 5 before delivery:
1. Flow is logical (walkthrough makes sense - entry to rooms to exterior)
2. Color is clean (natural whites, consistent exposure and white balance)
3. Coverage is sufficient (key rooms shown with establishing + detail angles)
4. Transitions are invisible unless motivated (no gimmick transitions)
5. Pacing supports clarity (not rushed, no disorienting motion)
You are expected to catch these yourself before submitting.
Our Workflow
1. Shooter uploads raw footage to Dropbox and completes an editor brief
2. You receive notification via
3. You edit both horizontal + reel, export to our specs, upload finals to Dropbox
