Video editor for Meta Ads — Shopify e-commerce brand

Hi there, I'm building an e-commerce brand and looking for a reliable video editor to work with over time, not just a one-off gig. I pay fairly, communicate clearly about what I expect, and trust your expertise rather than micromanaging every detail. If the first videos go well, there's real room to grow this into a regular collaboration. What I need Short vertical video ads (15 to 30 seconds, 9:16) for Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram), built from existing product photos, no filming involved. This is Meta-only for now; TikTok may be added later if the collaboration works out. Goal: a strong hook in the first 3 seconds, fast pacing, animated text, a structure built to drive purchases. Style: UGC-style edits or product motion graphics depending on the format, testing several creative angles and hooks on the same source visuals. What I provide (after first contact) High-resolution product photos, brand assets, style references, and a creative brief per video. Product and brand details are shared directly with shortlisted candidates. Skills required I'm looking for someone with real e-commerce experience, not just editing skills. You need to know what works and what doesn't in an ad that actually sells: which hooks hold attention, where people drop off, which formats convert on Meta Ads. Technical editing (Premiere Pro, CapCut) is the baseline, not what sets you apart. A plus if you're comfortable with AI generation tools (Higgsfield, Arcads or similar) to produce UGC-style content from plain product photos, without an on-camera creator. Deliverables An initial batch of 5 videos to test the collaboration, with different hooks on the same source visuals. If it works, moving to a regular pace of 8 to 15 videos per month. What's next This project can grow into a regular, long-term collaboration, and potentially extend to other projects if the work is good. Budget Per-video rate between $10 and $20 depending on complexity, or hourly rate between $8 and $15/h. The first batch of 5 videos is a paid trial before any monthly commitment. How to apply Send your portfolio with examples of e-commerce ads you've edited (ideally videos built from photos, not filmed footage), your rate, and your availability. Let me know if you've already used AI video generation tools from static images. Product and brand details will be shared privately with shortlisted candidates.
