Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a reliable short-form video editor to help turn long-form podcast episodes into engaging vertical clips for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. This is for a Toronto-based hip-hop, culture, and interview podcast. The content is conversation-driven, so I need someone who understands how to find strong moments, create clean pacing, add captions, and make podcast clips feel sharp without over-editing. The ideal editor should have experience with podcast clips, talking-head content, interviews, creator content, or culture/media shows. What You’ll Be Doing You’ll receive full podcast episodes or longer segments and turn them into short-form clips. Each clip should include: Clean cuts Strong opening hook Captions/subtitles Basic zoom-ins and punch-ins Good pacing and flow Light audio cleanup when needed 9:16 vertical export Ready-to-post versions for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts I’m not looking for overly flashy edits. The style should feel clean, modern, sharp, and social-media ready. Content Style Think hip-hop podcast, culture commentary, street documentary energy, and interview clips. The edits should feel engaging, but not corny. Good captions, strong timing, and knowing where the real moment is matter more than random effects. Workload This can become ongoing weekly work. To start, I’d like to do a paid test with a few clips. If the quality is strong, this can turn into consistent weekly editing. Please Include in Your Proposal Your price per clip Your turnaround time How many clips you can deliver per week Examples of podcast clips, interview clips, or talking-head shorts you’ve edited Whether you can choose the best moments yourself or need timestamps What software you use Important Please start your proposal with the word MOBB so I know you read the full post. Generic copy-and-paste replies will be ignored.
