Summary

Your job is to take ideas and turn them into visually engaging, story-driven videos that people can't stop watching. The Style This is not a subtitle-over-B-roll editing role. Every sentence should have a visual payoff. Think: Motion graphics Kinetic typography Premium transitions Magazine layouts Product mockups Diagrams Historical footage News headlines Stock footage AI-generated imagery (where appropriate) Screen recordings Light VFX Sound design The goal is for each video to feel like a short documentary rather than a standard social media edit. Example Workflow I'll send: A 1–3 minute voice recording explaining an idea. Any reference material if relevant. You'll: Develop the visual narrative. Source footage and graphics. Create motion graphics where needed. Add sound design. Deliver a polished vertical video ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. What We're Looking For You should have experience with: Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe After Effects Motion graphics Storytelling through editing Typography Sound design Bonus if you've worked on: Documentary-style content Business content Educational YouTube videos Premium creator content This Is A Long-Term Role We're not looking for someone to edit one video.

Which creator's editing style most closely matches yours. A few sentences about how you'd approach turning a voice memo into a compelling visual story. We care far more about creativity than speed.
