Video Editor for Short-Form Ad Reels (Start Immediately, Fast Turnaround)

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

**We're hiring a short-form video editor to start right away.** Our current editor can't keep up with our volume, so we need someone reliable who can take on 50 to 80 reels per month consistently. **The work:** These are 30 to 60 second reels used primarily as paid ads. Clients film raw footage and hand us a pile of clips and pieces. Your job is to: - Go through all the raw clips and pick the best takes - Match the footage to the provided script - Stitch everything into one smooth, fluid video that flows naturally - Add clean captions and subtle animations The style is clean and professional, not flashy or over-edited. Think polished and easy to watch. Consistency and clarity matter more than fancy effects. **What we need from you:** - Proven experience editing short-form ad/social reels - Fast turnaround and strong communication - Ability to handle steady volume without quality dropping - Availability to start immediately **How to apply (read carefully):** Put 2 to 3 example reels you have personally edited at the TOP of your application. We will only review applications that include sample reels. Anything without examples will be skipped. We are reviewing applications and selecting someone tomorrow, so apply now if you are ready to start immediately.
