Video editor for artist and auto detailer
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I’m looking for a reliable, creative video editor to become my dedicated long-term editor across several brands and content styles. I am a recording artist, songwriter, clothing-brand owner, content creator, and mobile auto-detailing business owner. I regularly create music content, promotional videos, short-form social media clips, detailing transformations, clothing advertisements, behind-the-scenes footage, and personal brand content. The main goal is to find one editor who can learn my style, understand my brands, and help me consistently release high-quality content rather than hiring a different person for every project. **Main deliverables may include:** * TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts * Music promotion videos and performance clips * Emotional, cinematic, and high-energy artist content * Auto-detailing before-and-after transformations * Clothing and merchandise advertisements * Behind-the-scenes and storytelling content * Longer YouTube videos when needed * Captions, motion graphics, transitions, sound design, color grading, and occasional VFX Most short-form videos will be between 15 and 60 seconds. I may provide raw footage, music, brand assets, examples, and direction, but I also want someone who can bring original ideas and recognize strong moments without needing every cut explained. **Skills I’m looking for:** * Strong short-form editing and attention-retention skills * Excellent pacing, hooks, captions, and storytelling * Music-video or artist-content experience * Ability to edit content to the beat and emotion of a song * Experience with color correction and cinematic grading * Clean sound design and audio synchronization * Knowledge of current social-media editing styles * Ability to create both polished professional content and raw, high-energy content * Basic motion graphics and visual-effects experience * Strong organization and file-management habits Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or similar professional editing software is preferred. **Communication and workflow:** Good communication is extremely important to me. I need someone who responds consistently, meets agreed deadlines, asks questions when necessary, and communicates early if there is ever a delay. I prefer direct and honest communication. I will provide feedback, references, brand information, and clear direction, but I also appreciate editors who contribute creative ideas and recommendations. Projects may be shared through Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io, or another agreed platform. We can use text, email, or another messaging platform for regular communication. I am interested in building a repeatable workflow where footage is delivered, edits are completed within an agreed turnaround time, revisions are handled efficiently, and content is organized for posting. **Initial paid test:** Before committing to a long-term arrangement, I would like to begin with a paid test project. Selected applicants may receive the same footage and instructions so I can compare editing quality, creativity, communication, and turnaround time fairly. If the test goes well, I am interested in ongoing weekly or monthly work. The expected workload may begin around 12 to 18 short-form videos per month and could increase as the brands grow. When applying, please include: * A link to your portfolio * Examples of short-form, music, automotive, fashion, or promotional content * Your usual turnaround time * Your rate per video, hourly rate, or monthly package * The editing software you use * Your revision policy * Your current availability * A brief explanation of why you would be a good fit for this position Please begin your proposal with the word “TWiiG” so I know you carefully read the full description. I’m not simply looking for someone who can cut footage together. I’m looking for a creative partner who wants to understand the vision, grow with the brands, and help turn consistent content into real momentum.
