JOB OVERVIEW

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are a real estate company that produces long-form video content across education, investment, faith and land development topics. We need a short-form editor who can take that long-form content and clip it into high-performing short-form videos for Reels, Shorts, and social platforms. Occasionally you will also create variations of existing short-form clips for use as ads.

This is a high-volume, ongoing role. If your edits perform, there's consistent work and performance bonuses on top of your per-video rate.

---

SCOPE

Short-form videos between 30 and 180 seconds, repurposed from long-form source content. Up to 25 videos per week, capped at 100 per month. Each video must be fully platform-ready on delivery — no open loops.

Primary: Clipping and editing short-form content from long-form recordings
Secondary: Creating ad variations from existing short-form clips

---

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN EVERY EDIT

- Hook mastery — you can identify the strongest moments in a long-form video and know how to open with a visual hook, text hook, and audio hook that stops the scroll in the first 2–3 seconds
- Body retention — the middle holds attention as well as the opening; pacing, pattern interrupts, and visual momentum throughout
- Smooth call to action — the CTA feels like a natural close, not a hard sell bolted on at the end
- Effective audio — music and sound design that reinforces the message and energy without overpowering it; aligned with brand, not exaggerated
- Brand alignment — every clip should feel like it belongs to the same family of content; consistent tone, text style, and visual rhythm
- Platform awareness — you know what works on Reels vs. Shorts and can optimize accordingly without being told

---

SKILLS REQUIRED

- Strong short-form portfolio — share examples that show you can pull compelling clips from long-form source material
- Proven understanding of what makes short-form content perform, not just look good
- Experience creating ad variations from organic short-form content
- Captions, text overlays, and on-screen graphics that complement — not clutter — the video
- Comfortable working at volume with fast turnaround
- Familiar with ---------- for review and approval, and Google Drive for final file delivery

---

WORKFLOW

You'll receive long-form source footage and a brief for each batch. Edits are submitted to ---------- for review and approval. Once approved, final files are uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder per the instructions provided.

---

COMPENSATION

- Rate: $15 per approved video
- Max volume: 100 videos/month (~25/week)
- Monthly cap: $1,500/month
- Performance bonuses: available for videos that hit strong view, reach, and engagement benchmarks

Pay is strictly per approved and delivered video. Only videos that clear the ---------- approval process count toward your monthly total. There is no guaranteed floor — you are paid for what you deliver.

Videos that consistently perform well are eligible for bonuses. We track what works and reward the edits that drive results. Strong, consistent output over time opens the door to increased volume and rate.

---

TO APPLY — ANSWER THESE THREE QUESTIONS IN YOUR PROPOSAL

1. Walk me through how you identify the best clips inside a long-form video. What are you looking for, and how do you d ---------- where to start and end a clip?

2. Share 2–3 short-form videos you edited that were repurposed from long-form content — and tell us what you were trying to accomplish with each one beyond just making it look good.

3. How do you use audio in a short-form video? What's your approach to music selection and sound design for a professional brand that wants energy without feeling overhyped?
