Video Editing Short Form for instagram

Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only

Summary

We’re a growing screen printing and embroidery company producing custom apparel including shirts, hoodies, hats, and more. I film all of our content myself using a Sony A7III. I’m not a professional videographer, but I capture plenty of good raw footage from inside the shop. I’m looking for a long-term video editor to help turn that footage into engaging 10–20 second reels for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. What We Used to Do We’ve created plenty of “montage” style videos—printing, embroidery, shirts being made, machines running, all synced to music. They look great, but we’ve found they mostly appeal to other printers and people already in the industry. What We Need Now We’re moving more toward short explainer-style reels that combine: Fast-paced editing Captions and subtitles Voiceovers Storytelling Hooks that grab attention Clear messaging aimed at potential customers, not just industry people The goal is to educate viewers and explain what they’re seeing while still making the videos visually appealing. Voiceover Requirements This is very important: I do NOT want generic AI voices that sound robotic or stock. Natural-sounding voiceovers are a huge plus. If you provide your own voice or have access to realistic, conversational voice talent, that’s even better. Ideal Candidate Experienced with Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts Strong storytelling skills Excellent caption and subtitle work Understands hooks and customer-focused content Can make videos feel energetic and modern Comfortable working from raw footage Reliable and interested in a long-term relationship To Apply Please send: Examples of your best short-form work. Examples with voiceovers and captions (preferred). Whether you use AI voices, your own voice, or voice actors. A brief explanation of your editing process. I’ll provide examples of the style we’re aiming for. We’re looking for someone we can build a long-term relationship with, as we create content regularly.
