Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

JOB DESCRIPTION I’m building a personal brand around adult ADHD (late-diagnosed women) and need a reliable editor to cut a series of 8 short talking-head videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. These are simple, calm, story-driven clips — me speaking to camera. No flashy effects. The style is clean, warm, and a little understated (think thoughtful and intimate, not loud meme-style editing). The series is one connected arc, so I need a consistent look across all 8. What I’ll give you for each video: • Raw footage of me talking to camera (filmed on phone, vertical 9:16) • The script, so you can follow the intended beats and on-screen caption text • A simple brand kit: fonts, colours, and a logo What I need you to do per video: • Tidy the cut — remove pauses, stumbles, false starts, and dead air so it flows naturally • Add clean, accurate animated captions (most people watch muted) — styled consistently, not the default auto-caption look • Add the specific on-screen text/keywords noted in each script at the right moments • Light colour correction and audio cleanup (consistent levels, no background hiss) • Add a simple end card (logo + one line of text I’ll provide) • Export each in 9:16, optimised for TikTok / Reels / Shorts Deliverables: 8 finished vertical videos, plus the project files. Each likely 30–60 seconds finished. WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR • Experience editing short-form talking-head / creator content (please share examples) • Excellent, well-styled captions — this matters a lot to me • A consistent, tasteful aesthetic; able to match a calm brand, not over-edit • Clear communication and reliable turnaround • Bonus: experience with ADHD / mental-health / wellness creators, or content for women 40+ TO APPLY Please include: 1. 2–3 examples of short-form talking-head videos you’ve edited (links) 2. Your price — quote per video and for the full batch of 8 3. Your typical turnaround for a batch of 8 4. To confirm you’ve read this: start your reply with the word “teacup” Looking forward to seeing your work.
