Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I have a 1-hour video podcast interview (filmed in London, good quality footage) that needs editing into: - Around 5 short-form reels (60-90 seconds each) for Instagram/TikTok/YouTube Shorts - 1 long-form edit for YouTube (full episode, cleaned up: cut dead air, filler words, tighten pacing) Style for the shorts: punchy and entertaining, not just talking-head clips. Think: Quick zoom-ins on reactions/facial expressions Jump cuts to keep pace tight Attractive captions/subtitles burned in Sound effects or emphasis cuts where it fits the moment Pull the most interesting, funny, or insightful moments as standalone hooks For the long-form cut: Clean edit, remove dead air and filler words Light color/audio correction Captions optional but a plus You'll need to: Watch the full hour and pull out the best 5 short-form moments Deliver vertical (9:16) format for the shorts, horizontal for the long-form Please include in your application: Examples of similar podcast/interview edits you've done (links to reels or YouTube preferred) Estimated turnaround time Budget: $120 fixed price for all 6 deliverables (5 shorts + 1 long-form). Looking to start ASAP and would love to work with someone ongoing if this goes well.
