  • Select and layer background music and sound effects to match the tone, mood, and pacing of the video.

  • Revise edits based on creative feedback while adhering to project turnaround deadlines.

  • Export and deliver final video files in optimized aspect ratios and formats for intended platforms.

  • Editing Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating proficiency in short-form video editing (YouTube, social media, promo, or corporate content).

  • Software Proficiency: Expertise with professional video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut Pro).

  • Visual Pacing: Deep understanding of narrative flow, visual hooks, frame transitions, and timing.

  • Technical Setup: Access to a reliable, high-performance editing setup and stable internet for uploading video files.

  • Communication: Ability to follow detailed creative briefs, accept constructive feedback, and communicate project status clearly.

PREFERRED SKILLS

  • Experience creating dynamic motion graphics using Adobe After Effects.

  • Knowledge of platform-specific formatting trends (e.g., YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn).

COMPENSATION & DETAILS

  • Deliverable Rate: $20.00 per completed and approved 2-minute video.

  • Flexibility: Fully remote position with flexible working hours based on project availability.
