Podcast Video Editor Needed (One-Minute Launch Video → Long-Term Opportunity)

Hi! I’m Jermell, and I’m launching my new podcast under my personal brand, #teamTHIS. I’m looking for a talented video editor who can help bring my vision to life through engaging storytelling, clean editing, and social media-ready content. This first project is a 60-second launch video introducing myself, my brand, and what viewers can expect from the journey. The script is complete. I need someone who can transform it into a video that captures attention, creates emotion, and leaves people wanting more. 🚨 Project Timeline * Start: Immediately * Deadline: July 1 * Please only apply if you’re confident you can meet this deadline. 🎯 What I’m Looking For I want an editor who understands that great editing isn’t just about cutting clips—it’s about telling a story. The style I’m after is: * Modern * Clean * High-energy * Story-driven * Authentic * Social media-friendly Think smooth pacing, intentional cuts, engaging captions, subtle motion graphics, sound design, and editing that keeps viewers watching until the very end. Less flashy… more impactful. 📦 Deliverables For this first project, I need: * One professionally edited 60-second vertical video * Dynamic captions * Light branding * Background music and sound design (where appropriate) * Smooth transitions and pacing * Final export optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts 🤝 Long-Term Opportunity This is more than a one-time project. If we’re a great fit, I’d love to continue working together as my primary editor for the podcast and future #teamTHIS content. Future projects will include: * Full podcast episodes * 3–5 short-form clips from each episode * Reels * TikToks * YouTube Shorts * Additional branded content I’m looking for someone who wants to help build a brand—not just edit another video. ✅ The Ideal Editor You: * Have strong storytelling instincts * Understand how to create engaging social media content * Communicate well * Meet deadlines * Can take direction while also contributing creative ideas * Have experience editing podcasts, interviews, or talking-head content (preferred) 📩 To Apply Please include: * 2–3 examples of similar work * Your turnaround time * Your rate for this project * What editing software you use * A brief note explaining why you’d be a great fit for #teamTHIS Creative Question (optional you don’t have to answer but it helps with me getting to know you) Imagine you only have three seconds to stop someone from scrolling. What are the first three editing choices you’d make to hook the viewer? I’m just as interested in how you think as I am in your portfolio. 👀 Hidden Screening Instructions To show you’ve read this entire posting, please begin your proposal with the phrase: “The Second Half Starts Now.” Attention to detail matters, and I read every proposal.
