CapCut only editor for Instagram Reels - Soft/warm AI educational video

Posted last week

Summary

Hi! I'm Cindy, an AI creator on Instagram (@cindiezhu, ~49k followers). I'm hiring a short-form video editor to add the personality layer on top of my reels. You will receive the final cut, meaning all the fluff, bad takes, and pauses are already removed. No video cutting required on your end. Your job is purely the personality layer. This is per-project work at $30/reel. If we click and our styles align, it becomes ongoing, potentially part time or with a bonus structure. ✅ What you'll be doing - Receiving the final cut from me (already trimmed, no story editing needed) - Editing inside CapCut Teams (we'll share a workspace, this is how we collaborate) - Adding CapCut GIFs, stickers, and cute sound effects to match my style - Trimming and aligning screen recordings I provide as overlays so they fit the context of what I'm saying - Matching my "warm, cute, tech Instagram aesthetic" - Exporting and uploading the draft back into CapCut Teams so I can add the final 2-5% polish before posting If you can mimic my style from my reference reels, we'll move forward fast! ✅ Some of my Reels for your reference: - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX-GNTnTEeF/?igsh=OHRqeGMxNWxpdnQ= - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX1EfTLJuzV/?igsh=MWcxNWMzZnoyODV0OA== - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXtLcgSiXOK/?igsh=MTQ2dmVoemExdW1jMw== Just basic editing, it's all about taste and vibes! ✅ Hard requirements (please don't apply if these aren't a yes) - CapCut proficiency. Non-negotiable. We work in CapCut Teams, not Premiere, not Final Cut, not DaVinci. CapCut only, because I do the finishing touches myself and need to open the same file. - Strong eye for short-form pacing on Instagram - Strong taste for cute, playful editing (you'll be matching my style from samples, no written style guide provided) - Fluent English - Fast turnaround (24-48 hours per reel ideal) ✅ Nice to have - Experience editing for AI, tech, or marketing creators - Familiar with current Instagram hook formats and retention edits - Kawaii-leaning editing taste ✅ What you get from me - The final cut of each reel, fully trimmed, ready for the personality layer - Clear, fast feedback so you can lock the style within a few reels ✅ To apply, please send - 2-3 short-form video links for videos you've personally edited (CapCut preferred) - One sentence on your CapCut Teams experience - Comment capcut teams at the top of your application so I know you read this far - Your turnaround time per reel I'll shortlist and send a paid test reel ($30) before any ongoing work. Looking forward to seeing your samples, Cindy
