Who We Are: Lukas Simianer is a combat vet, serial entrepreneur, and founder of VetClaims.ai. His personal brand is built for veterans who are done playing small.

Looking for a 45-second vertical to use on social media-'Then vs. Now' volleyball highlight edit for an incoming freshman.

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.

Our YouTube Channel, LMAk, is less than 3 years old, 20 million views and 30,000 subs. We are a Christian based outdoor adventure channel in Alaska. We are looking for an Editor to help us create new longs and shorts from our new content ideas and from our list of several hundred posted shorts and pull from a long form video playlist of 120 videos with new videos every week. You must be located in the USA or Canada and be willing and able to conduct video conference calls for the interview process and collaboration. Samples of your work are also required. An appreciation and understanding of this niche is required. If you are offended by things like hunting activities then this is not for you. The Editor's pack looks like this: You will get a batch of raw footage, working script, voice narrations, outline, early title and thumbnail concepts for reference, and a short list of similar videos doing well on the related topic. From that, you will help us create a new video, usually about 12-15 mins in length. Average editing time work time will be 4-6 hours. Turnaround time is usually 7-10 days.

Project Overview We took a two-week vacation to Bhutan. We hired a professional photographer who captured several hours of high-quality raw video footage. We want to transform this raw footage into a series of 5 distinct, visually compelling videos (around 5-6 minutes each) that represent different parts of our trip. The style will be audio voice-overs recorded by us describing the trip with video clips interleaved as we speak. Probably an atmospheric audio track behind, but likely no audio from the original videos. What We Will Provide * Pre-recorded voice-overs from us for each segment. These will provide the framework for the videos * Raw video footage. They are organized by sub-video where they'll be used and we'll tag which part of the video they can be pulled from. Most are clips of a few seconds in length. * We can provide a sample of one video we did for context if that's helpful.
