Fast Short-Form Editor (AI-Native) — 2 Videos/Day, Simple Edits, $500/mo

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm looking for a short-form video editor who actually uses modern AI tools (Descript, CapCut, Submagic, etc.) and doesn't edit everything manually like it's 2019. Speed and efficiency matter more than fancy effects. The work is simple. Most videos are just: cutting, captions, and music. Nothing complex. If you know the current tools, each video should take you ~10 minutes, not an hour. I don't want to waste your time, my time, or my money on over-editing. The volume: I post 3 videos a day. You'll handle 2 of them: Talking-head clips (20–40 seconds) — cut, caption, music. Dead simple. Mid-funnel videos — slightly more involved: simple image sequences or basic Remotion animations. (The third daily video is auto-generated by our own software — not your job.) Pricing: $500/month for 2 videos a day. Simple, fast edits. If you're efficient with AI tools, this is easy, high-volume, recurring work. Growth opportunity: This is a starting role. For the right person, there's room to grow into UGC management, idea/content moderation, and other paid positions as we scale. More responsibility, more pay. To apply, send me: 2–3 examples of short-form videos you've edited (talking-head style preferred) What tools you use and roughly how long a simple 30-second captioned clip takes you Confirm you're comfortable with ~2 videos/day, fast turnaround If your answer to #2 is "an hour per video doing it manually," you're not the right fit. I want someone fast, modern, and efficient.
