Short-Form Video Editor

Summary: We’re looking for a remote short-form video editor who specializes in Instagram Reels and performance creative. I will shoot raw footage locally, upload it, and then you will handle pacing, hook construction, captions, music, sound design, B-roll, graphics, branding, and final exports. The ideal freelancer can turn raw material into polished, engaging content that performs well on social platforms. Southern Skin & Wellness — Paid Test Edit We are a physician-led cosmetic dermatology and laser practice in New Orleans. I'm looking for an ongoing remote short-form video editor for Instagram Reels. I will provide professionally shot camera and iPhone footage. A script with on-screen text and voiceover content will be provided along with a style guide for our brand. I need you to turn that raw material into polished, premium short-form content. For this test, create one 25–30 second 9:16 Reel about post-summer laser skin rejuvenation. Primary objective: maximize retention during the first 3 seconds. The brand should feel modern, sophisticated, medical, and premium—not like a generic med spa, beauty influencer, or overly flashy TikTok edit. Please use tasteful typography, excellent pacing, subtle sound design and appropriate music. Avoid excessive transitions, emojis, gimmicky animations or stock “beauty clinic” aesthetics. Please provide three alternative opening hooks for seconds 0–3; the rest of the Reel can remain the same. You are encouraged to improve the pacing, sequencing and visual storytelling rather than simply following the script literally.
