Video Editor to create a professional masterclass video series

We're producing a professional masterclass video series for our clients: a polished, premium course of 20-30 talking-head videos (2-6 minutes each). We're looking for a skilled video editor to take our raw footage through to finished, client-ready videos: editing, color grading, titles, and light motion graphics. This is posted as a project-based engagement covering the full course. We expect ongoing content work to follow and intend to grow this into a permanent position for the right person. We run a paid test edit of one video to confirm fit. We pay for the test edit regardless of outcome. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING - Editing talking-head footage into clean, engaging, professionally paced videos - Color grading from C-Log 3 (Canon) footage to a consistent, premium look across the series - Building and applying titles, lower-thirds, and on-screen text - Light motion graphics where needed (animated text/graphics) - Syncing and mixing scripted dialogue audio; cleaning up flubs, retakes, and dead air - Following our scripts to catch deviations, repeated takes, and mistakes, and assembling the intended final cut - Adding music and captions/subtitles - Working to an established style template: we'll provide a brand kit (logo, colors, etc.) and reference videos showing the look and style we're after. You'll create the LUT, lower-thirds, titles, and graphics assets from our brand kit on the first video, which we'll approve and lock as the template for the rest of the series. PROJECT DETAILS - Project-based for the masterclass series, with ongoing work expected for the right fit - Turnaround: batches of ~5 videos within ~2 weeks - Availability: At least one hour of availability with North American Eastern Time (9-5 ET) business hours once per week, for calls and feedback Please submit your rate proposal structured however you think is appropriate (per video, per batch, monthly retainer, or project total), with your reasoning REQUIREMENTS: - Demonstrated experience editing talking-head / interview-style content - Multicam editing experience - Strong color grading skills, specifically grading from Log footage - Proficiency in at least one of Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro (tell us which you use) - Ability to create titles, lower-thirds, and on-screen text - English proficiency strong enough to follow scripted spoken content and catch script deviations, flubs, and repeated takes - Reliable workflow for handling and transferring large 4K video files (we'll likely use Frame.io for review and feedback, and Frame.io or Google Drive for file transfer) - Production consulting: Ability to advise on our filming setup, including lighting, camera angles, sound treatment, and workflow, before bulk filming begins (paid, in addition to editing) NICE-TO-HAVES - Light motion graphics / simple animation skills - Experience with Frame.io
