Your goal is to maintain a consistent, high-energy, and entertaining style across all platforms, helping to document fitness transformations and deliver valuable advice to the audience.

Brand Consistency: Maintain a cohesive visual and auditory aesthetic that aligns with the brand’s identity across all platforms. Retention Optimization: Apply pacing, B-roll, text animation, dynamic captions, and sound design to maximize viewer retention and engagement. Requirements Proven, extensive experience editing both long-form YouTube videos and short-form vertical content for personal brands or fitness creators. Mastery of industry-standard editing software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut) and a strong understanding of fast-turnaround tools if needed (e.g., CapCut). A strong portfolio demonstrating an ability to tell a story, pace a video effectively, and hold an audience's attention. Self-sufficient, reliable, and able to meet weekly deadlines consistently.
