Short-Form Video Editor for Instagram and TikTok (Fixed Pilot, 3 to 4 Videos)

We are a small, founder-led business in the global mobility and portable careers space. We help professionals build work they can run from anywhere, and most of our content is the founder talking directly to camera about real experience living and working across several countries. We already have the footage. This is an editing job, not a filming job. WHAT THIS IS A fixed-price pilot: 3 to 4 finished short-form videos, cut from existing footage we will hand you. If the work is good, there is more of it. We would rather pay properly for a small first batch than underpay for a long commitment. WHAT YOU WOULD DO Cut 3 to 4 vertical shorts from longer talking-head footage and supporting b-roll. For each one: - Find the moment in the raw footage that actually holds attention and build the cut around it - Tighten pacing and clean up the audio - Add accurate captions, styled to our brand, not auto-generated and left alone - Add simple on-screen text and light graphics where they help the point land - Deliver in vertical format, sized for Instagram Reels and TikTok WHAT WE CARE ABOUT Captions that are correct. Our audience includes people watching with sound off and people for whom English is a second or third language. Sloppy auto-captions are the fastest way for this not to work out. Restraint. We are closer to independent publishing than to a coaching brand. No trend audio bolted on, no jump cuts every two seconds, no stock motion graphics. Editorial, clean, human. Reading the footage. The founder speaks in long thoughts. The skill we are hiring for is hearing where the actual story is and cutting to it. SCOPE AND BUDGET Fixed price, $350 total for 3 to 4 finished videos. One round of revisions per video included. Delivery within two weeks of receiving the footage. We provide brand colors, fonts, and caption styling. A note on platforms: Instagram is where we are committed. TikTok we are currently testing, so the same assets need to work for both. TO APPLY Please skip the template cover letter.
