Video Editor for Spanish Footage / Social Media Clips

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a video editor to edit footage that was shot in Spanish. The selected editor must be able to understand Spanish well enough to make natural editing decisions based on the conversation. We will provide the footage as proxy files. The editor will be responsible for reviewing the material, cutting it down into as many strong social media clips as possible, adding b-roll where appropriate, and exporting the final videos. The number of final clips may vary depending on the footage. It could be two to three strong clips, or it could be four or more. We are looking for an editor who can use their judgment to identify the best moments and create polished, engaging social cuts from the material. Responsibilities: - Review Spanish-language footage and identify the strongest moments for social media clips. - Create as many high-quality social cuts as the footage naturally allows. - Understand the Spanish conversation well enough to make smart cuts and preserve the meaning, context, and flow. - Work with proxy footage provided by our team. - Cut out pauses, mistakes, repeated lines, or unnecessary sections. - Add b-roll where needed to support the story and keep the clips visually engaging. - Maintain a natural rhythm and pacing throughout each edit. - Make basic audio adjustments so the dialogue is clean and balanced. - Export each final clip in the required format. Requirements: - Strong video editing experience. - Fluency or strong comprehension in Spanish. - Ability to edit based on conversation flow, not just visuals. - Experience creating social media clips from longer footage. - Experience working with proxy files and b-roll. - Good sense of pacing, storytelling, and clean transitions. - Ability to follow direction while also making thoughtful editorial choices. Please include in your application: - Examples of social media clips you have edited, especially Spanish-language content if available. - Your level of Spanish comprehension. - The editing software you use. - Your experience working with proxy files and b-roll. - How you usually decide what makes a strong social clip from longer footage.
