Role overview
Turn supplied footage into focused short videos for social platforms. You will find strong moments in longer recordings, shape a clear opening and progression, and finish each clip with accurate captions, balanced audio, and a suitable vertical export. The role requires editorial judgment as well as technical editing: the finished clip should hold attention while preserving the meaning of the source and the truth of any product demonstration.
What success looks like in this role
- Each clip begins with a relevant moment and forms a complete, understandable story without requiring the viewer to watch the source recording.
- Cuts remove repetition and dead time while preserving the speaker's meaning and the actual order of a demonstrated product workflow.
- Captions are proofread, synchronized, easy to read, and positioned clear of important visuals and platform controls.
- Dialogue remains clear above music and effects, and reframing keeps the speaker or product action visible on a phone screen.
- The batch meets the agreed format and delivery brief, with checked exports and organized files that are easy to review or revise.
Role requirements
- Ability to edit confidently in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or a comparable tool and manage a project from source files to final export.
- Editorial judgment for selecting useful moments, creating a strong opening, and keeping a short story clear and well paced.
- Practical skills in vertical reframing, caption timing and proofreading, basic color correction, and dialogue and music balancing.
- Understanding of asset permissions: use approved footage, music, fonts, and graphics, and flag unclear rights before adding them.
- A portfolio of short clips that shows your editing choices and contribution. Personal work or source-to-final examples are welcome as evidence.
Key responsibilities
- Review supplied recordings and the brief, identify candidate moments, and select clips with a clear message and sufficient context.
- Build a strong opening and purposeful pacing without changing quoted meaning, inventing outcomes, or fabricating product interactions.
- Reframe for the requested vertical format and add accurate captions and useful graphics while respecting the platform's safe areas.
- Clean and balance speech, music, and effects; check that all added assets are approved for the intended use.
- Watch each final export, apply review feedback, and deliver the agreed batch of ten videos with clearly named files and the requested project materials.
