Video Composer / Music-Video Editor Wanted: Multiple Cuts From One Song, Trial-Based
Worldwide
We are building a creative team and looking for a Video Composer: an advanced editor and visual storyteller who takes the best clips from several creators and combines them with a finished song into multiple complete music-video compositions. This is the more advanced editing role in our pipeline. The clip creators produce the raw pieces, you assemble them into finished, platform-ready videos, and importantly, into several versions of the same song rather than one final edit. For one song, you might produce: an emotional version, a viral-hook version, a performance version, a cinematic version, plus 15-second, 30-second, 60-second, and full music-video cuts. WHAT YOU SHOULD BE STRONG AT: - Music synchronization: editing tightly to the beat and feel of a track - Pacing and rhythm: knowing when to cut, hold, and build - Visual storytelling: making a sequence of clips feel like one piece - Selecting the strongest footage from a large set - Hooks, retention, transitions, captions, and platform formatting - Creating many mixes and versions from the same assets, comfortably - Both short-form and full music-video editing, vertical and horizontal HOW WE WORK: This is ongoing, trial-based work. You start with a short paid trial (a song plus a set of clips to cut into a few versions), and the strongest, most reliable composers move into a steady flow of projects with better assignments and higher pay over time. We evaluate on actual output, not interviews. TO APPLY, PLEASE SEND: 1. Your best 2 to 3 edited videos or music-video work (links or a reel) 2. If you have it, an example where you made multiple versions or cuts from the same footage or song 3. The editing tools you use 4. Your rate and weekly availability 5. Your typical turnaround for a short edit Lead with your work. Strong applicants will be invited to a short paid trial quickly.
