Premiere Pro Video Editor for social media posts

I use videos to share interviews, new product discoveries, or market and industry insights. I want to focus on content capture and need a trusted person to convert this into short-form videos that tell a story.

My ideal video editors will be able to take my content and a project plan/creative brief and convert it into an engaging and interesting video. But to be clear, it is not just about knowing your way around the editing software; it’s about helping me tell a story with video.
