Summary

Realistic 30-Second Short-Form Videos: 3-Second Clip Edits (Ongoing Work) *Please paste the cost per video in the 1st 100 characters of your cover letter, or your proposal will be ignored.* I'm looking for a skilled video creator/editor to produce realistic-looking 30-second short-form videos from topics I provide. This is potentially ongoing, high-volume work — if the first batch goes well, I'll have a steady stream of videos for you. I'll give you the topic (and a script or key points) for each video, and you produce a polished, ready-to-post final video. What I need in every video: - Length: 30 seconds total. - Built from 3-second clips — short, punchy cuts rather than long static shots. - A realistic look (not cartoonish or obviously low-quality AI). Whatever tools you use are fine, as long as the result looks believable and clean. - Strong editing: tight pacing, smooth cuts, clean transitions, synced voiceover/music, and captions where appropriate. Editing is a big part of what I'm hiring for. - Vertical (9:16) for Reels/TikTok/Shorts unless I specify otherwise. - Videos will need captions. Voiceover and background music can be provided separately. In your proposal, please include: 1. Examples/portfolio — 2–3 samples of realistic short-form videos you've made, ideally with fast 3-second-style cuts. This is the most important part; proposals without samples won't be considered. 2. Your price per finished video — a clear cost per full 30-second video (flat per-video rate, not hourly). If your rate changes with volume, list the tiers. 3. Turnaround — how long to deliver one video, and how many you can produce per week. 4. Revisions — how many rounds are included in your per-video price. 5. A quick note on your process/tools for making the footage look realistic. Screening question: What tools and workflow do you use to make short-form footage look genuinely realistic, and how do you keep editing tight at the 3-second-clip level? Budget: quote me your per-video rate — I'll evaluate on quality and price together. This is ongoing work, so strong results lead to a long-term, repeat engagement. To be considered, include your video samples and your per-video price.
