Summary

Video Editor Needed — Fast Turnaround, Clean Edits, Meta Ads Here is the brief: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rg4LW6aZfyfWV9BqxdOTRARRCxxjByqsl0g36vRuuHY/edit?usp=sharing Check it out! Don't apply if you can't execute it. We need a fast 48 hour turn around. We need someone who understands pacing, story, structure, English, and what actually makes footage worth watching. Everyone has a good portfolio. What matters to us is whether you can actually break down footage and make good editing decisions. I don't want to have to babysit you. Required Skills * Strong English comprehension * Experience editing social media content * Strong understanding of pacing and retention * Ability to cut dead space, rambling, weak lines, and unnecessary filler * Ability to structure footage into a clear narrative * Clean captions and subtitles * Good music selection and sound design * Strong attention to detail * Fast turnaround times * Ability to export correctly for different platforms * Basic metadata understanding for YouTube/social uploads, including titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, file naming, and platform-specific formatting Editing Style We are not looking for over-edited, flashy, chaotic edits. We want clean, sharp, high-quality edits that look professional and are easy to watch. The edit should support the content, not distract from it. Good pacing, clean visuals, clear audio, strong cuts, simple motion graphics, and tasteful captions are more important than unnecessary effects. Turnaround Expectations 48 hours. You must be reliable and able to deliver on agreed timelines. We do not want someone who disappears, misses deadlines, or needs to be chased constantly. Who This Is Not For This is not for you if: * You only know how to make flashy edits but do not understand storytelling * You cannot understand spoken English clearly * You need every single cut explained to you * You are slow with revisions * You miss deadlines * You overcomplicate simple edits * You rely only on templates * You cannot take feedback * You submit messy exports, poor captions, or low-quality audio Who This Is For * You have real editing experience * You understand pacing and structure * You can make raw footage watchable * You care about clean, professional work * You can work quickly * You can think for yourself * You want consistent work * You are confident enough in your skill to be judged on a test edit Pay We are willing to pay well for the right person. We are not looking for the cheapest editor. We are looking for someone who can actually deliver quality work consistently, move fast, and make our lives easier. If you are good, reliable, and fast, there is room for ongoing work. How To Apply 1. Your portfolio 2. 3 examples of videos you personally edited 3. Your rate 4. The editing software you use 5. Read through the brief We are not looking for perfect. We are looking for clean, sharp, reliable, and fast.
