JOB OVERVIEW

# TikTok Short-Form Video Editor — TikTok Shop / UGC

I’m looking for a **high-level short-form video editor** who understands how to edit specifically for **TikTok retention, engagement, and conversions**.

This is **not** a traditional video editing position. I’m looking for someone who understands why people stop scrolling, what keeps them watching, and how editing can make a TikTok Shop video perform better.

## What You’ll Be Editing

You’ll primarily edit:

* TikTok Shop product videos
* UGC-style advertisements
* Beauty, skincare, haircare, grooming, and lifestyle content
* Talking-head videos
* Product demonstrations
* Before/after style content where appropriate
* 15–60 second short-form videos

I will usually provide the **raw footage and overall concept**. Your job is to turn that footage into a polished, high-retention TikTok.

## Creative References & Inspiration

I need an editor who is comfortable working from **video inspiration and references**.

I should be able to send you examples of TikToks, Reels, ads, or specific edits and say:

**“I want this video edited similar to this style.”**

You should be able to study the reference and understand things like:

* Pacing
* Caption style
* Cuts and transitions
* Zooms and punch-ins
* B-roll placement
* Sound effects
* Graphics
* Hook structure
* Overall editing energy and flow

You should be able to take inspiration from the reference **without simply copying it**, and adapt that editing style to my own footage and content.

The goal is for me to be able to send you **raw footage + a reference video + basic instructions**, and have you understand the direction without needing excessive back-and-forth.

## The Editing Style I Want

I want editing that feels **native to TikTok**, not like a traditional commercial.

You should understand how to use:

* Strong visual hooks within the first 1–3 seconds
* Fast, natural cuts that remove unnecessary pauses
* Pattern interrupts to maintain attention
* Strategic punch-ins and zooms
* Clean, readable on-screen text
* Attention-grabbing text hooks
* Dynamic captions
* B-roll and product close-ups
* Images/graphics when they help explain a point
* Sound effects when appropriate
* TikTok-style pacing
* Music that complements the video without overpowering it
* Visual emphasis on important words or selling points

The goal is **high retention without making the video feel obnoxiously overedited**.

## Most Important Skill

You need to understand **short-form viewer psychology**.

I don't just want someone who knows how to use Premiere Pro or CapCut.

You should be able to look at raw footage and think:

**"What can I change here to stop someone from scrolling and keep them watching?"**

You should understand concepts like:

* Scroll stopping
* Curiosity
* Open loops
* Pattern interrupts
* Watch-time optimization
* Retention
* Pacing
* Product-focused storytelling
* Direct-response style editing

## Requirements

You should have experience editing content for at least one of the following:

* TikTok
* TikTok Shop
* Instagram Reels
* YouTube Shorts
* UGC advertisements
* Direct-response social media ads

**TikTok Shop or UGC editing experience is strongly preferred.**

You should also be:

* Reliable
* Easy to communicate with
* Able to follow an established editing style
* Able to recreate the feel of reference videos I provide
* Able to take direction without needing every individual edit explained
* Able to deliver consistently
* Comfortable receiving large amounts of raw footage
* Detail-oriented
* Able to turn around videos quickly

CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or similar professional editing software is acceptable.

## What I DON'T Want

Please do not apply if your experience is primarily:

* Long-form YouTube videos
* Podcasts
* Weddings
* Cinematic videos
* Corporate videos
* Music videos

unless you also have a **strong short-form TikTok/Reels portfolio**.

I'm specifically looking for someone who understands **performance-focused short-form content**.

## Potential Long-Term Opportunity

I'm a high-volume content creator and regularly produce TikTok Shop videos.

I'm looking for someone I can potentially work with **long term**, so there will be consistent work available for the right editor.

As we develop a workflow, I want the editor to learn my style well enough that I can send over **raw footage and video inspiration**, and they can understand exactly how the finished video should look.

## How to Apply

Please send:

1. Your short-form editing portfolio
2. **3–5 of your BEST TikTok/Reels/Shorts edits**
3. Any TikTok Shop or UGC ads you've edited
4. The software you use
5. Your typical turnaround time
6. Your rate per short-form video
7. How many videos you can realistically edit per week

**Important:** Do not send me a portfolio with 50 videos and ask me to choose.

Send me the **3–5 videos that best demonstrate your ability to edit high-retention TikTok content.**
