I run marketing for home-service businesses (pressure washing, exterior cleaning, and similar) and I'm looking for a video editor to cut short-form ad videos for Facebook and Instagram on an ongoing basis. What you'll be making: Vertical (9:16, 1080x1920) ad videos, typically 15–30 seconds, built for paid Meta campaigns. The formats we run include: - Founder-style talking videos with fast cuts and B-roll overlays - Before/after transformation reveals (split-screens, swipe/wipe transitions) - Timelapse process footage with speed-ramping "Review wall" social-proof videos (fast-scrolling stacks of 5-star review screenshots with featured readable quotes) - Simple text-card hooks and branded end cards with a call to action How we'll work: You won't be starting from a blank page. For every video, I'll give you a written shot-list/edit brief that lays out the concept, the timing shot-by-shot, the on-screen captions, and the brand colors/fonts. I'll supply all raw assets: phone footage, before/after photos, review screenshots, and logo files. Your job is to turn the brief + assets into a polished, scroll-stopping ad. Expected volume is 2–4 videos per month to start, more if the fit is good. This is long-term work for the right person. I'd rather build with one editor who learns our brands than re-explain everything each project. Skills required: * Strong short-form paid-ad editing (Meta/TikTok style pacing; a cut every 2–3 seconds, nothing sits still) * Bold, high-contrast burned-in captions that work with sound OFF, kept clear of the FB/IG UI zones * Clean speed-ramps, split-screens, and wipe/swipe reveals * Basic motion graphics (animated text, logo end cards, highlight/zoom on review screenshots) * Color/exposure cleanup of phone footage * Music selection that matches the edit rhythm (video must still work muted) * Ability to follow a written brief precisely AND flag when something in the brief won't work Nice to have: - Experience editing ads for local/home-service businesses or lead-gen campaigns - Understanding of what makes the first 3 seconds of an ad stop the scroll - Ability to deliver 2–3 hook variations of the same video for testing Deliverables per video: 1. Final MP4, 1080x1920, under 4GB, ready to upload to Meta Ads Manager 2. Project file or editable version so we can revise hooks/captions later 3. One round of revisions included Communication: I give clear, written direction and fast feedback. I expect a 24–48 hour first cut on most videos and responsiveness during US Eastern business hours (async is fine, just don't disappear for days). To apply: Send 2–3 examples of short-form vertical ads you've edited (paid ad work preferred over organic content). Tell me which one performed best and why you think it worked. Start your proposal with the word "SQUEEGEE" so I know you read this.

We're looking for a skilled video editor who specializes in short-form social media content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) to join us on an ongoing, as-needed basis. This is a long-term contract relationship, but the work is project-based. Some weeks will have multiple edits, others none. We're looking for someone reliable who can turn projects around on a flexible schedule and grow with us over time. This is not standard video editing. Short-form for social has its own language: fast pacing, hooks in the first 2 seconds, dynamic captions, sound design, trend awareness, and platform-specific formatting. We need someone who genuinely understands what makes a short-form video perform, not just someone who can cut clips together. What you'll be doing: - Editing raw footage into polished short-form videos for social platforms - Adding captions, b-roll, music, sound effects, and motion/text elements - Cutting for retention; strong hooks, tight pacing, clean transitions Formatting correctly for each platform (vertical, aspect ratios, safe zones) What we're looking for: - Proven experience editing short-form social content (this is a must) - A strong eye for pacing, rhythm, and what holds attention - Reliable communication and consistent turnaround - Self-directed; you can take footage and a brief and run with it To be considered, please include: - A portfolio or reel of short-form work you've personally edited - Accounts or brands you've worked on (links to the actual posts/profiles if possible) - A short note on the tools you use (Premiere, CapCut, After Effects, etc.) - Your typical turnaround time and rate (per video or hourly) We review every application that includes work samples. Applications without examples of short-form work won't be considered. Looking forward to seeing what you've made!

Your job is turning that raw material, plus AI generation where it fits, into finished 15-60 second ads ready to launch. Tools we use: Higgsfield (Seedance, Kling, Marketing Studio) for AI video generation CapCut, Premiere, or similar for cutting and finishing You should be comfortable writing prompts, iterating on generations, and knowing when to use AI vs. when the b-roll we hand you is the better move What we need from you: Experience editing direct response ad creative, not cinematic brand films You understand hooks, pacing, captions, and what stops the scroll Fast turnaround. Most projects are 2-4 ads per batch with 48-72 hour delivery You can take a one-paragraph brief plus a folder of assets and run with it To apply: Send 2-3 examples of short-form ad creative you've made, and note which ones used AI tools. Tell me your typical turnaround for a batch of 3 ads and your rate per ad or per hour. Applications without examples will be skipped. Ongoing work for the right person. We have a steady pipeline of clients and drops. (start proposal with "AI editor" so i know you read this all please)

We host regular events like Trivia Nights, Craft Nights, Girls Nights, parties, and more. After each event, I need someone to take the raw footage I filmed and turn it into a polished, high-energy highlight reel to post on our Instagram. The goal is to capture the fun, the energy, and the community vibe, so that people who weren't there wish they had been, and our members feel celebrated. Here's how it works: After each event, I'll send you a folder of all the raw video clips I took You edit them into a short, engaging highlight reel that fits Instagram (Reels format) The edit should match our brand identity and social media style (I'll provide examples of past content) Turnaround needs to be quick so we can post while the event is still fresh I'm looking for someone with a fun, creative eye for short-form social content & someone who can bring energy and personality to the edit, not just cut clips together. Ideally this becomes an ongoing working relationship as we host events regularly (almost weekly) throughout the year. Here's our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inclusionfusion
