    A self-taught video editor with 5 years of experience who is looking for every chance to improve her skills. My main editing software is Adobe Premiere Pro, but I am also experienced in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Audition. My editing background includes educational content, memory collages, travel videos, vlogs, content for kids, and entertaining videos for clients as well as for my own YouTube channel. My experience ranges from creative editing styles that incorporate the use of green-screen effects, sound effects, and text animation, to a more straightforward editing style that includes jump cuts and simple transitions to suit clients' needs. From finding the right music to adding engaging graphics and transitions, I've been enjoying editing videos for the past five years. If you are looking for a creative and responsive video editor with great communication skills, then feel free to reach out!

    I am a highly motivated producer and editor who loves to create. I work with the Adobe Creative Suite and can do anything you need, from simple b-roll editing, ads for broadcast, OTT, and socials. If you need motion graphics, animated logos, or other design needs, I have you covered. I believe in clear communication and goal setting at the beginning of a project and aiming high. My goal is to help you realize your vision with a product that makes you proud and helps you accomplish your goals. My skill sets include: - Video Editing.

Recent freelance projects include a sizzle reel for Mom Hint by Sherri French, explainer videos for Solutions Journalism Network, and commercials for clients like Koala Insulation. - Graphics. I am very comfortable creating graphics for any platform. I create the graphics for all my productions, from basic text on the screen to motion graphics and animation. - Scriptwriting. I am a proficient and creative scriptwriter. I have written copy ranging from commercials for local businesses to major brands like Kroger, Southern Living, and People. - Executive Producer.

I built the show from the ground up, leading set design and installation, building the team, casting the hosts, overseeing graphic design, and promoting the show on the air and social platforms. I also worked with WSMV's parent company, The Meredith Corporation, to launch The Southern Living Show. The program featured the best of Southern Living's content and was broadcast across the United States. - Marketing. I worked for several years as a Creative Services Director. In that role, I gained experience as a media buyer and developed marketing strategies for my station and the station's clients. That experience has helped improve my skills as both a producer and editor. I look at everything with an eye on the ultimate goal of the project. - Consulting. I have experience in various areas, including commercial production, marketing, and managing big projects. I am a great sounding board that can offer new ideas for your project or flesh out your existing ideas. - Social Media.

    I'm an experienced video producer/editor based in Chicago seeking freelance projects. I've created successful TV shows, commercials, and digital media over various platforms from inception to the final touches in post-production, plus I'm extremely energetic and fun to work with! You can view samples of my work at my website listed below in the portfolio section. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago, where I majored in Television Post-Production. After college I spent over 7 years in Chicago producing and editing TV programming for PBS-WTTW. There, I produced and edited the TV show "Check, Please!" which, with over 100,000 viewers weekly, was one of the top dining/food influencers in Chicago. I also produced and edited a talk show called "My Chicago" where we conducted "interviews-on-wheels" in a car traveling through the streets of Chicago. In addition to my experience working for PBS in Chicago, I freelanced on a number of different projects where I created digital content and commercials for a wide variety of corporate clients, often for same-day delivery. In 2017, I followed my passion to NYC, where I became the video specialist for Tribune Publishing's food website, The Daily Meal. At The Daily Meal, my focus was capturing the dynamic food scene in New York through the eye of my camera lens, while also educating viewers with unique recipe videos, visually dazzling dishes, and tasty information that every home cook will appreciate. I solely produced, shot, and edited 300+ videos. My fiance and I returned to Chicago in the spring of 2022 to continue our work as freelancing partners and be closer to family. I have a fairly flexible schedule, which allows me to do plenty of creative editing and occasional filming. With my passion for video storytelling, and my experience working on a plethora of different types of projects, I'd be thrilled to help with any of your video needs.

    My name is Lucas Wilson and I am a filmmaker and video editor based out of South Florida. For the last 7 years I have worked on a wide variety of work ranging from music videos, corporate videos, documentaries, weddings, a variety of promotional content for small businesses and much more! My skills include Final Cut Pro X, After Effects, Photoshop and Lightroom. My main focus is filming and video editing, but should the need arise where you need some photo editing done, I can easily and quickly take care of any photo editing and retouching you should need. I have worked as a crew member on a handful of feature films including one produced under Affirm Films a branch of Sony. While I was not a camera operator or a film editor for these productions, I learned to appreciate a high level of professionalism in the film/media industry which is something I work hard to seamlessly translate into every project. Professionalism, good communication and being respectful are key character traits that I believe are important to have in everyday life, but also in how I work with every client. Wether you have a film, a commercial or a video for social media, rest assured it will be edited and handled with professionalism. Because your brand and your story matters!

How to Hire Top Video Editors

How to hire video editors

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A video captures motion in thousands of pictures. It’s no wonder so many businesses wish to include video in their content marketing campaigns. If you want to create professional videos for your business, a video editor can help.

So how do you find a video editor? What follows are some tips on finding top video editors on Upwork.

How to shortlist video editing professionals

As you’re browsing available video editing consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the freelancers you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Brand fit.
  • Portfolio.
  • Feedback.

How to write an effective video editing job post

With a clear picture of your ideal video editor in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective video editing job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From video collages to covering an event, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience working with certain industries or media platforms, mention this here.

VIDEO EDITORS FAQ

What is video editing?

Video editing is the art of cutting, manipulating, and rearranging video to create a new work. It refers to all the post-production tasks that go into turning raw footage into a compelling video. Video editors cut excess footage, choose which reels to highlight, touch up audio, and add graphics and effects that go into a final product.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in video editing professionals:

  • Video editing and production
  • Video editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Photo editing tools such as Photoshop
  • Motion graphics software such as After Effects

Depending on their specialties, video editors may be behind the camera, in the audio booth, behind a computer, or all of the above. The video producer you engage may be able to help with the following:

  • Video conceptualizing and storyboarding
  • Sourcing footage: Live action clips, stock clips, or screen capture
  • Motion design, animated graphics or text. Note that motion graphics is a very different skill than editing, but the two can overlap. If your video is strictly animated, be sure to engage a motion graphics designer.
  • Sound recording and editing, voice over editing, and music selection
  • Transitions, color grading, effects, and pacing with music
  • Optimization and publishing
  • Projects like eLearning or explainer videos
  • and more
