Japanese/English Bilingual Video Editor for Ongoing Ad Work

We make short-form video ads and need a bilingual (Japanese + English) video editor who is genuinely good at editing. We'll give you footage/assets, a script, and reference videos. You edit them into a polished ad that matches the intended style and pacing — clean cuts, good timing, captions/subtitles, and on-screen text that reads naturally in both Japanese and English. You must be comfortable working in BOTH Japanese and English: reading Japanese scripts, matching on-screen Japanese text, and getting the nuance and pacing right for a Japanese audience, as well as English. What you'll do: - Edit short-form video ads (cuts, pacing, transitions, timing) - Add and time captions/subtitles in Japanese and English - Match a reference video's style, structure, and pacing - Handle on-screen text and localization accurately across both languages - Deliver polished ads on a fast, roughly one-per-day cadence You're a fit if you: - Are fluent in Japanese AND English - Have a strong eye for pacing, timing, and clean edits - Move fast and apply feedback without repeating the same mistakes - Take ownership of the final video quality The first step is a short paid demo edit: we give you the footage, a reference ad, and a script, and you deliver a polished edit. If it's strong and fast, we move into ongoing daily work. Please send over: - 2–3 of your best video editing samples - The editing software/tools you use - Your usual turnaround time - Your Japanese and English level And answer this so we know you read the post: what's the first thing you check in a reference video before recreating it?
