The task is to create interactive, engaging, and educational video content, both long- and short-form, for an educational platform designed for college students. We will provide you with written content and the key concepts we want to teach for each video, and you will develop videos without changing the key concepts or the outlined content. There can be some artistic license to cut some things for time, but the key concepts must be clearly communicated as we see fit. Because this is designed for a college-age audience, we want these videos to be in a format that they will find engaging (ex. Youtube, TikTok, Reels, etc) but still communicate the concepts that we provide. We will provide brand guidelines with the color palettes and font formats we will need you to adhere to as much as possible. Our expectation of the workflow for this process is the following: - We provide you with the brief for the video - You will then create a high-level script or concept for how you plan to transform it into a video that clearly communicates the concepts and content - We will provide feedback or edits if, for example, we feel like the video isn't going to clearly communicate what we expect it to - You will create the video, and we will review and give final approval or provide further feedback for edits We will require that: - Applicants reside inside the United States - Applicants sign NDA's - Applicants submit a portfolio of work for us to review prior to engaging - Applicants complete a Test Assignment to ensure that they are a good fit with the workflow, and that their work is up to our standard - Applicants agree to never upload any content we provide into any AI of any kind in the process of producing our videos

"The Point" Reel Short-Form Video Creator Needed — Pointing/Text-Overlay Reel for Mental Health Brand Budget: Fixed price — $100–$200 Timeline: Delivery within 7 days of hire About the project: We're a mental health treatment program serving the greater Houston area and are running a paid Meta ad campaign across Facebook and Instagram. We need a short-form video creator to film a 15–30 second "pointing reel" — a trending Reels/TikTok format where an on-screen presenter points to text bubbles that pop in one by one. Editing is not required — we can handle post-production on our end. However, if you're able to deliver a fully edited cut with text animations and captions burned in, we will pay more for that scope. Please indicate in your application whether you're applying for raw footage only or the full edited deliverable. What we need: -1 vertical video (9:16, 1080x1920) between 15–30 seconds -Clean, well-lit setting — think home office, neutral background, or modern indoor space -On-screen text bubbles timed to pointing gestures (we will provide the exact copy) -Upbeat but calm energy — this is a healthcare brand, not a hype video If editing: subtitles/captions burned in, delivered as MP4 ready for Meta ad upload. Copy/script will be provided. You bring the performance and filming (editing a bonus). Ideal creator: -Has experience with Reels-style or TikTok-style pointing/text-overlay videos -Comfortable on camera, natural and relatable presenter — not overly polished or salesy -If editing: proficient in CapCut, Premiere, or similar for text animation and captions -Portfolio or samples of similar format required to apply To apply, please include: -1–2 examples of pointing/text-overlay style videos you've created -Whether you can deliver raw footage only or a fully edited cut -Your turnaround time and rate for each option.

I run a small company that helps local businesses get noticed when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT or Google's AI to recommend a business nearby. Most owners have no clue this is even happening to them, and that's the story I want told on camera. I'm looking for someone in the U.S. who's actually good on camera and lives in the world of short-form video. TikTok, Reels, Shorts. Not stiff corporate stuff. The kind of clip where the first three seconds make someone stop scrolling. This is a small paid test project to start. If it goes well, there's a lot more work coming and a real ongoing role for the right person. We can talk about that on a call. What I need: - Short vertical videos, 15 to 45 seconds - A hook that lands in the first couple seconds (no slow intros) - You on camera, or directing someone who's great on camera - Normal-person language, no marketing buzzwords Who fits: - Based in the U.S. - You make short-form, not just edit it - You get small business owners and how busy and skeptical they are Don't stress about fancy editing or lighting right now. I care about your how you come across. How to apply (please read): Skip the cover letter. Instead, record a quick 30 to 60 second video of yourself, phone camera is totally fine, unedited is totally fine, and cover two things: 1. A quick hello and one line about your background in video or marketing. 2. Off the top of your head, one hook or angle you'd use to grab a local business owner's attention and show them that AI tools like ChatGPT might be skipping right past their business. I'm not judging the idea, but how clearly you explain it, and how you come across on camera. It does not need to look polished. Drop your video as a Loom, Google Drive, or unlisted YouTube link in your proposal. No video link, I pass. No exceptions. Thanks!

Who you'd be editing for: TouchTone DSG ("The Peoples Producer") — a 20-year mixing/mastering engineer building a brand around teaching real studio craft and documenting the build of an AI mixing tool. The channel is premium and credible — clean, high-end — not busy meme-edited slop. The audience is producers and engineers who respect specifics and can smell fake. Your edits represent a brand built on sound, so the bar is high — especially on audio. The role: my one ongoing long-form YouTube editor, every week — not one-off gigs. I shoot; you turn raw footage into finished, retention-optimized videos. Workload & turnaround: 1–2 long-form videos/week, ongoing (monthly). 72-hour turnaround per video from footage delivery — non-negotiable; it's what lets me publish 2x/week. Reliability matters more to me than anything else. 2 revision rounds per video. What you'll edit: educational/tutorial videos (me on camera + Ableton screen-recordings cut in sync), story/reveal videos, comment-response videos, occasionally course lessons. The style I'm after: Hook-first, retention-driven pacing — cut dead air, ums, rambles — but clean and intentional, not frantic jump-cut spam. Premium, not hyperactive. Screen-share in sync — when I explain something in Ableton, zoom/highlight the exact control or number I'm talking about. On-screen text for the key numbers (e.g. "−18 dBFS") — clean, on-brand, never cheesy. Tasteful gear/studio b-roll; consistent brand look (intro/outro, lower-thirds, fonts, colors — I'll provide assets); clean premium color. Audio is non-negotiable (the part most editors get wrong): this is a mixing/mastering channel — bad audio is brand suicide. Dialogue clean, de-noised, leveled, ~−14 LUFS, no clipping; music subtle and ducked under my voice; and when DAW mix demos / A-Bs play, they stay at honest, undistorted levels. An editor who ships muddy or clipped audio is an instant no. Technical & delivery: source is 4K (Sony A7S III, sometimes multi-cam) + Ableton screen recordings → deliver YouTube-ready MP4/H.264, 4K (1080p min) + captions. Tool is your choice (Premiere/Resolve/FCP) if the output's clean and revisions are quick. Workflow: organized raw footage + screen recordings via Google Drive, with a short beat-sheet per video. Proactive communication — flag risks early; ghosting or silent slippage is the dealbreaker. Great fit: reliable above all (consistent 72hr, communicates early) · real tutorial-editing experience · music/audio sensibility · takes direction without ego. Not in scope: shorts/clips (handled by OpusClip) and thumbnails (separate — bonus if you're strong at them). Long-form only unless we negotiate it in.

We’re a Denver-based digital marketing agency hiring a fractional social strategist to work white-labeled under our brand on client accounts. Starting with one account, with room to expand to more if the fit is strong. This role is specifically for someone who lives in short-form video and social-first content. We need someone focused on SOCIAL and VIDEO content, not a generalist marketer. Scope for the first account: Build the social and video content strategy: channel mix, content calendar, hooks, and messaging direction across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms. Direct video and UGC production: write briefs, manage a bench of freelance video creators and editors, and oversee output. You strategize and direct; you are not expected to personally shoot or edit every asset. Own the measurement framework: tie social and video content to real outcomes, not vanity metrics. This is a monthly retainer per account, not hourly. We define monthly deliverables and pay per month. Requirements: Proven, recent experience building SOCIAL and SHORT-FORM VIDEO content strategies, shown through real examples and live accounts, not just frameworks or decks. Demonstrated results with video content specifically (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, UGC video). Experience across BOTH DTC and B2B brands. You should be comfortable strategizing for each, since our clients span both. Experience in briefing and managing freelance video creators and editors. Comfortable working white-labeled under an agency brand, and client-facing as our team if needed. US-based (client-facing). Will sign an NDA and IP-assignment agreement before any account access. To apply, answer the screening questions below. Generic proposals and applicants without video samples will not be reviewed. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: As part of our hiring process, we’ve set the initial project budget at $300 for a paid test deliverable. Full ongoing pricing and scope will be discussed after hire based on your rate card, experience, and fit.

Upwork Video Editor Brief – Northampton Nursery (AOK Studios) Project Overview We're looking for an editor to put together three videos from a 3-day project we filmed for Northampton Nursery. The project follows the transformation of a residential backyard as the crew excavates the space and installs a new flagstone patio. This edit should feel clean, polished, and professional while showcasing the craftsmanship and transformation of the project. Storytelling is important, but pacing should stay engaging throughout. Footage includes: Sony A7S III footage (S-Log) Drone footage 3 days of coverage Before, during, and after construction Deliverables 1. Website Video (30–60 seconds) This is the primary deliverable. The goal is to showcase Northampton Nursery's work in a way that builds trust with potential customers visiting their website. The edit should tell the story of the project from start to finish: Establishing drone shots Before shots of the yard Excavation Crew working Installing the flagstone Detail shots of craftsmanship Finished reveal Final hero drone shots Focus on smooth pacing, clean transitions, and making the project feel premium. 2. Before & After Hype Video (20–40 seconds) This video should focus almost entirely on the transformation. Think: Strong before shots Quick progression through construction Dramatic reveal of the finished patio Impactful pacing Music-driven edit The transformation should be the hero of this edit. 3. Social Reel (15 seconds) Creative freedom. Use whatever moments you think make the strongest short-form piece. Could focus on: Satisfying construction moments Drone reveals Equipment Stone placement Quick transitions Before & after moments The goal is simply to create something engaging that performs well on Instagram. Editing Style We are looking for edits that are: Fast paced without feeling rushed Clean and modern Story driven Premium Natural color grading Strong use of sound design Music that builds energy Please avoid: Overused transition packs Excessive motion graphics Flashy effects Trend edits that won't age well Less is more. Color Color grade all Sony footage. Match drone footage so everything feels cohesive. Keep colors natural and vibrant. Audio Please include: Sound effects throughout Ambient construction audio where appropriate Music that fits the pacing Audio should help sell the project rather than overpower it. Captions No captions are needed. Export Requirements Please provide: 4K export 1080p export if possible H.264 (.mp4) AOK Editing Standards At AOK Studios, we prioritize storytelling over flashy editing. Every shot should have a purpose. Keep clips moving, but don't rush important moments. Build toward the final reveal, maintain visual consistency, and let the transformation speak for itself. Pay attention to shot selection, pacing, music, sound design, and color grading to create an edit that feels polished, intentional, and professional. If you think a sequence could be improved by rearranging shots or trying a different structure, we're open to creative input. We value editors who can elevate the footage rather than simply assemble it.

We're built around inclusivity and belonging, and are a space where our members come to connect, make friends, have fun, and feel like they're part of something. 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
