Short-Form Video Editor (Crypto/Trading Niche) — Ongoing, 2–4 Edits/Week

I'm looking for a talented short-form video editor for an ongoing role with CoinGPT (coingpt.bot), an AI-powered crypto trading platform. You'll be editing content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, with clips repurposed for X. This is a long-term, ongoing engagement — not a one-off project. What you'll do Edit 2–4 short-form videos per week (9:16 vertical) for Instagram, TikTok, and Shorts Cut longer videos (7–10 min talking-head/market analysis content) into punchy short-form clips — finding the hook and the best moments is a core part of the job Occasionally edit full long-form videos (7–10 min) Add TikTok-style burned-in captions, clean cuts, motion, sound design, and on-screen graphics that match current short-form trends Bring editing-side input: pacing, hooks, caption styling, trend formats. Content strategy is handled on our side, but I want an editor who guides the execution — someone who knows what's working on TikTok/Reels right now Who you are Strong portfolio of short-form edits, ideally in crypto, trading, finance, or AI/tech You understand the crypto/trading audience — you know what a chart, a setup, and a market take look like, and you don't need hand-holding on terminology On top of current short-form trends: retention editing, caption styles, hook structure, pattern interrupts Reliable turnaround (48–72h per edit) and clear communication Comfortable working to a brand style guide (fonts, colors, caption styling — full brand kit provided) Compensation $20 per short-form edit (≤60s vertical) Up to $50 per long-form edit (7–10 min) 2–4 pieces per week ongoing, with room to grow as we scale toward daily posting How to apply Link 2–3 short-form edits you're proud of — crypto/trading/finance niche preferred Tell me in one or two sentences what makes a crypto short perform in 2026 Start your proposal with the word SIGNAL so I know you read this Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete one paid test edit ($20) from footage we provide before starting the ongoing role. Screening questions (Upwork form) Share links to 2–3 short-form videos you edited (crypto/trading/finance preferred). What editing software do you use, and what's your typical turnaround for a 60s short? Describe one current short-form trend you'd apply to trading content and why.
