Short-Form Documentary Video Editor (AI Visuals & Storytelling)
Worldwide
I am looking for a creative and detail-oriented video editor to turn a 60-second sports script into a high-impact, short-form documentary for TikTok and Instagram Reels. The content covers a "What If" sports history scenario. I have the voiceover audio and the core visual concept, but I need an editor who understands pacing, rhythmic cuts, and how to blend AI-generated visuals with archival content. Responsibilities: Assembly: Take the provided voiceover and build a professional-grade sequence in CapCut. Pacing & Rhythm: Implement "pattern interrupt" editing—cutting on the beat and using fast, rhythmic transitions (glitches, pans) to maximize viewer retention. Text/Captions: Add dynamic, engaging captions in the center of the screen, highlighting key "power words" in yellow. Quality Control: Ensure the video feels like a high-end documentary, not a generic slideshow. Requirements: Proven experience editing viral short-form content (TikTok/Reels). Proficiency in CapCut. Ability to follow a script’s emotional arc and visual cues. Please provide examples of previous work, specifically videos that use fast-paced cutting or documentary-style storytelling. Application Process: Please start your proposal with the word "DYNASTY" so I know you have read the entire description. Include a link to 1–2 of your best short-form edits.
