Video editor for talking heads
Worldwide
I'm a Forbes 30 Under 30 founder and content creator posting talking head reels across Instagram and TikTok. I'm looking for a video editor who can take a raw clip (usually 1-3 minutes long) and turn it into clean, engaging short form taking head reels that feels natural and polished without being over-produced. What you'll be editing: Primarily talking head reels between 30 seconds and 3 minutes. The style is clean, direct and creator-led. No heavy effects, complicated transitions, or AI imagery. Good pacing, clean cuts, captions that match my voice, removing ums, ahs, filler, and overall producing a final output that feels like me. Examples of the editing style I'm aiming for: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZfwpXnkqkt/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/DZdFAOtjo7k/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/DZUIIT8Omf1/?hl=en What I need from you: - Clean cuts that maintain natural flow and energy in the talking head - Accurate captions styled consistently (font, size, placement - I will share references) - Basic colour grading to ensure consistent look across all content - B-roll or text overlay insertion where relevant based on the script - Fast turnaround - I post regularly and need someone reliable and responsive - Ability to take direction and adapt based on feedback without needing it repeated You're a good fit if: - You have a portfolio of short form talking head content you have - edited for creators or brands - You work independently and flag issues before they become problems - You are fast, organized and communicate clearly - You understand pacing for short form social content specifically What this looks like practically: 1.
