JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a talented and creative short-form video editor to edit high-quality food videos for our restaurant’s TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts accounts.

We will provide you with raw vertical 9:16 footage of our food and restaurant.

****Your job will be to transform the raw footage into attention-grabbing, fast-paced videos that stop viewers from scrolling, keep them engaged, and make the food look irresistible.****

We are not looking for someone who only knows how to cut clips together. We need an editor who understands short-form content, viewer psychology, retention, storytelling, and what makes food videos perform well on social media.

## Responsibilities

* Edit raw 9:16 restaurant footage into engaging short-form videos
* Create a powerful hook within the first 1–3 seconds
* Select the strongest and most visually appealing clips
* Use clean transitions, sound effects, motion graphics, zooms, speed ramps, and other effects when appropriate
* Add captions, text overlays, headlines, and calls to action
* Match cuts and transitions to music, sound effects, and trending audio
* Use pattern interrupts to maintain viewer attention
* Make food look as appetizing, crispy, juicy, cheesy, and satisfying as possible
* Edit videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts


## You Must Understand

* How to create a strong first-three-second hook
* How to increase viewer retention and watch time
* How to build curiosity and create satisfying payoffs
* How to identify and remove slow or unnecessary footage
* How to structure short-form food content for social media
* When to use fast cuts, slow motion, close-ups, text, and sound effects
* Current TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts editing styles
* The difference between professional editing and unnecessary effects that distract from the food

## Requirements

* Proven experience editing short-form social media content
* Strong portfolio of TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts edits
* Food, restaurant, hospitality, or product-video experience is strongly preferred
* Experience using Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, CapCut, etc....
* Strong sense of pacing, timing, music, storytelling, and visual composition
* Ability to follow a brand style while also bringing creative ideas
* Excellent attention to detail
* Reliable communication
* Ability to complete edits with a quick turnaround time
* Stable internet connection and the ability to download and upload large video files
* Ability to receive feedback professionally and apply revisions accurately


## What We Are Looking For

The ideal editor actively studies successful restaurant and food creators and understands why certain videos go viral.

1. A brief introduction about your video-editing experience
2. Links to 1-3 of your best short-form video edits are welcome

Below is a link of some of the Footage to give you an idea of the raw footage you will be editing
