We publish short form content across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, and we need a video editor who understands that short form editing is about hooks, pacing, and keeping viewers watching to the last frame.

What we need from an experienced short form video editor: - High retention short form editing with strong hooks in the first 3 seconds - Engaging animated captions and subtitles built for silent autoplay - Tight pacing, zoom punches, and clean cuts that hold attention - Sound design and music sync that matches the content's energy - Edits ready to post across Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts Requirements: - Proven, experienced short form video editing background (portfolio required) - Strong skills in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or After Effects - Deep understanding of short form hooks, retention, and caption design - Fast, consistent turnaround for recurring weekly batches - Strong creative judgment — able to edit independently without step-by-step direction This is ongoing work for the right editor. Please share examples of your highest-retention short form videos and tell us about your experience with engaging caption styles.
