JOB OVERVIEW

We are an independent music and media company (8 Sound LLC) building a massive short-form content engine. We document the lifestyle, travel, and creative process of an R&B artist, and we need a dedicated Video Editor / Clipper to turn master footage into highly optimized short-form content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels.

You won't just be editing; you will be running the "clipping machine." You will take finished vlogs, studio sessions, and high-flash night footage, and chop them into high-retention storytimes and 15-20s aesthetic b-roll clips.

What You Will Do:

• Chop & Edit: Turn master footage into 60s+ storytimes and 15-20s high-retention b-roll clips.
• Retention Editing: Execute visual resets (snap zooms, photo drifts, blade cuts) intuitively to hold attention without making the edit feel robotic.
• Text & Formatting: Format rolling captions and hook text perfectly (hook text above the head, rolling captions on the chest).
• Double Export Workflow: Export two versions of specific videos (one with hidden text layers for TikTok, one with visible text for FB/YT).
• Looping: Cut videos abruptly on the last word to create seamless loops. No outros.

Requirements:

• Proficient in your editing software of choice (CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, etc.). We don't care what you use as long as the final product is flawless and delivered fast.
• Deep understanding of short-form retention psychology (curiosity gaps, visual resets, pacing).
• Strong sense of rhythm. You know exactly when to punch in or cut based on the flow of the video, not just a timer.
• Ability to follow strict formatting and export rules without being micromanaged.
• Strong internet connection and reliable daily communication.
• Bonus: Experience managing or uploading to social media accounts/fan pages.

HOW TO APPLY (READ CAREFULLY): We ignore all generic cover letters. To prove you have attention to detail and can follow our creative direction, you must include the following in your application:
1. Start your message with the word "GINGER".
2. Send a link to 2-3 short-form videos you have edited that show fast pacing and good text placement.
3. The Test: Take any 30-second vlog clip you can find on YouTube. Cut it down to a 10-15 second high-retention short. Edit it for maximum retention using visual resets (snap zooms or cuts) where they naturally fit the rhythm of the speech. Put rolling captions on the chest, and cut the video abruptly on the exact last word so it loops perfectly. Send us the link to the final video.
