Short-Form Video Editor for DJ/Music Artist – 3 Reels Weekly

I’m an Egyptian-American DJ, music producer, and performer building a distinctive artist brand called The Baddest Nav. My sound blends Arabic house, Egyptian rhythms, nightlife energy, fashion, and cinematic storytelling. I’m looking for a creative short-form video editor who understands music artists—not someone who only applies generic templates. You should have strong instincts for hooks, pacing, music synchronization, captions, storytelling, and visual style for Instagram Reels and TikTok. This first project is a paid trial editing one 30–60 second vertical video. If we work well together, the position can become ongoing work editing approximately three videos per week. For the trial edit, I will provide: • Raw video footage • The song or audio • The purpose and main message of the video • Brand and visual references The finished video should include: • A strong opening hook • Clean, intentional pacing • Music-synchronized cuts • Stylish captions or on-screen text where appropriate • Basic color correction and audio cleanup • Vertical 9:16 formatting • Up to two reasonable revision rounds • Delivery of the final high-resolution file and editable project file My visual world is bold, cinematic, sophisticated, sensual, mysterious, and culturally inspired. Think modern nightlife and editorial fashion blended with Egyptian and Middle Eastern influence. I do not want overly corporate editing, random effects, or a generic influencer aesthetic. Ideal candidate: • Has edited content for musicians, DJs, performers, fashion creators, or nightlife brands • Understands retention, hooks, and short-form storytelling • Can make creative choices rather than simply follow instructions • Communicates clearly and meets deadlines • Is interested in an ongoing creative partnership To apply, please send: 1. Three examples of your strongest short-form edits, preferably for music or entertainment clients 2. A brief explanation of why your editing style fits this artist brand 3. The software you use 4. Your typical turnaround time for one reel 5. Your price for an ongoing package of three reels per week Please begin your proposal with the words “ENTER THE PORTAL” so I know you read the full description. Budget for the paid trial edit: $50.
