VSL Video Editor

Experienced VSL Video Editor Needed — Ongoing Work For Growing Ecommerce Education Brand We're looking for a skilled video editor with specific, proven experience editing VSLs (Video Sales Letters) for direct response or coaching/education brands. This is not a general content editing role, we need someone who genuinely understands how a VSL is structured and why it's edited differently than typical short form or entertainment content. About Us: 5ive World is a private ecommerce and digital marketing education company. We teach students how to build real online businesses, and our VSL is the centerpiece of our entire funnel, it's the first real introduction most people get to our brand before applying to work with us. This makes the quality of this edit extremely high stakes, and we need an editor who takes that seriously. What You'll Be Doing: Editing raw, multi-take footage into one clean, cohesive VSL, selecting the best delivery from multiple takes for each section Removing all dead space, filler words, stutters, and false starts while preserving a natural, confident, unscripted feeling Following a structured script order precisely, our VSLs are built in specific sections (hook, credibility, opportunity, offer, proof, close) and pacing needs to shift appropriately between sections Adding simple, clean pop-up graphics and text overlays at specific moments to reinforce key numbers, stats, and points Working from detailed written editing briefs we provide for each project, and asking clarifying questions when needed rather than guessing Turning around edits in a reasonable, professional timeframe with clear communication throughout You're A Strong Fit If You: Have specific, demonstrable experience editing VSLs, not just general talking head content, vlogs, or short form Understand direct response video principles, why VSLs are structured to build belief and handle objections before presenting an offer Have a strong eye for pacing, knowing when a video should breathe and when it should move quickly Are comfortable working with multiple raw takes of the same section and selecting the strongest one based on delivery, not just chronological order Can execute clean, minimal graphics and text overlays that don't feel flashy or distract from the message Communicate clearly and proactively, we'd rather you ask a question than guess and deliver something off-brief Take pride in editing work that feels natural and confident, not overproduced Please Include In Your Application: Links to 2-3 VSLs or long-form sales/education videos you've personally edited (not just any video editing work, specifically VSL or direct response style content) A brief note on your typical turnaround time for a VSL-length edit (10-20+ minutes of raw footage) Your experience level working from detailed written editing briefs This Is Ongoing Work: If we find the right fit, this will be a long-term working relationship, we're regularly producing new VSLs, course content, and long-form video for our education platform, and we're looking for someone who can become a consistent part of our production process, not a one-off project. If you have genuine VSL editing experience and take pride in clean, confident, high-converting video work, we'd love to hear from you.
