Video Editor Needed - Simple Trimming & B-Roll in Submagic (5–10 Videos/Day, Ongoing)

Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

We produce AI-generated UGC-style videos for our marketing clients and need someone reliable to handle the final cleanup pass. The task is simple, and so is the software. We use Submagic, which is browser-based and takes about twenty minutes to learn. You don't need Premiere or After Effects experience. You need a good eye and a fast turnaround. Our videos are short — 30 to 45 seconds each, built from several AI-generated scenes stitched together. Two things need fixing before they go out: 1. Trimming the joins. Where scenes meet, there's usually a glitch or a jarring frame or two. Trim those out so the video plays through smoothly. 2. Covering weak scenes with b-roll. Sometimes the AI actor's mouth doesn't match the voiceover, or they do something odd on camera. When that happens, you layer b-roll over the top while the audio keeps running. The key word is relevant — if the voiceover is talking about invoices, we want paperwork or an office, not a random stock clip of a sunset. The viewer should never feel the visual has gone off-topic. No colour grading, no motion graphics, no sound design, no scripting. What you'll be doing: Receiving 5–10 raw videos per day Each video is 30–45 seconds with roughly [4–6] scene joins to clean up Trimming glitch frames so transitions feel natural Layering relevant b-roll over any scene where the AI actor looks off Exporting and returning the finished files Realistically this is 10–15 minutes per video once you're up to speed. What we're looking for: A good instinct for timing and for picking b-roll that matches what's being said. This is the whole job some people can cut on the right frame and pick the right clip, and some can't Fast turnaround — same-day is ideal Consistent weekday availability English good enough to follow the voiceover and choose b-roll that fits it Submagic experience is a plus but not required — we'll show you Bonus, not essential: experience with AI UGC or AI scene generation tools
