We are launching a new social media presence and are looking for a talented Video Editor to join our two-person startup team. You will work closely with our Content Planner and Voice Actor to bring scripts and voiceovers to life in compelling short form videos optimized for platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.
As our Video Editor, you will:
– Take scripts and voiceover files and efficiently create engaging short form videos utilizing images, text, graphics, sound effects, and clever yet simple transitions
– Skillfully edit provided voiceovers to match timing and flow of video
– Start by creating 1 high-quality video in week 1, then quickly ramp up to producing 3-5 short videos per week
– Work with our Content Planner to bring scripts and ideas to life
Creative Vision:
1. /QWveXdj6oZU?t=67
Watch this video from 1:07 to 1:37 and notice the animations, glitchy text, and smooth transitions. This isn’t exactly what I have in mind, but the simple, cool look is the best way I can describe what I want.
2. Even simple videos like this are a nice inspiration: /reel/CuSTZ7ROdmW/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
3. Sometimes usage of stock footage with text overlay / text animations (access to stock videos provided, when needed): /reel/Cv0BuC_NBli/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
4. Combination of stock footage, meme/funny clips, and voiceover transcription added to video, like this: /reel/Cvm9sQeOMbQ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Week-to-Week Expectations:
– Week 1: Focus on creating one high quality video to set the creative vision
– Week 2: Recreate quality of week 1 video with less revisions
– Week 3: Ramp up to producing 2-3 videos per week
– Week 4: Establish process for scripts, revisions, feedback to increase output
– Week 5+: Produce 3-5 videos per week and adjust creative strategy as needed
This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled Video Editor to get in on the ground floor of building an engaging social media presence from scratch. If you’re ready to help grow our channels, we would love to see your portfolio!
Quick Test (Bonus):
Here’s a rough idea for a piece of content, so you can understand the flavor of it.
Topic: Setting up an IRA for the first time
Script: If you haven’t set up an IRA yet, you’re losing money. Actually. Why not click a few buttons once and never touch it again? Before you scroll on, ask yourself a few questions: how long can I put this off? Why not put in just $10? Can I spare 5 minutes right now? … think it over. Future you would be proud.
With this topic and script in mind, what initial ideas come to mind? What sort of video would you want to create, given a voiceover? Do you have any questions or feedback for the script itself? What would be your initial questions to getting on the same page about this piece of content?
Oh, and let us know about the wage. We’ve posted our ideal number, but are open to feedback in terms of rate and desired hours per week. If we’re close, we’d still like to hear from you.
