**Short-Form Video Editor — 2 Vertical Clips from Podcast (TikTok/Reels)** **Who we are:** We are DB2's podcast team. This is an authorized, paid editing task. You are the sole editor on this job — do not subcontract or split the work. --- **What you are editing:** A full-length podcast video available at this YouTube URL: [login to view URL] You will download or screen-record this video (using any tool you prefer, e.g., yt-dlp, 4K Video Downloader, etc.) and edit two short vertical clips from it. The source video is the ONLY material you may use — no outside assets of any kind. --- **Your task — step by step:** 1. **Watch the full podcast video.** Get a feel for the content, the speakers, and the most compelling or shareable moments. 2. **Select 2 distinct moments** that would work well as standalone TikTok or Instagram Reels clips. Use your editorial judgment. Good candidates are: a strong opinion or hot take, a surprising fact or story, an emotional or funny moment, a clear beginning-middle-end mini-narrative, or a moment that would make a viewer want to watch the full episode. The two clips must be from different parts of the video — do not select overlapping segments. 3. **Edit each clip to meet ALL of the following specs:** - **Duration:** 30 to 60 seconds each (no shorter, no longer — trim precisely) - **Aspect ratio:** 9:16 vertical portrait (1080 pixels wide × 1920 pixels tall) - **Captions:** Burned directly into the video (not as a separate subtitle file). Captions must be accurate transcriptions of what is spoken, properly timed and synced to the speech. Use a readable font and size suitable for mobile viewing. Style them however you think looks best for short-form content. - **Audio:** Must be perfectly in sync with the video — no drift, no lag, no echo. Clean audio from the source only. - **No third-party assets:** Do NOT add background music, sound effects, stock footage, b-roll from other sources, animated graphics, logos, watermarks, lower-thirds templates, or any element that did not originate from the provided YouTube video. The only additions allowed are the burned-in captions you create. 4. **Export both clips as MP4 files.** Use H.264 encoding if possible. Name the files clearly, e.g., [login to view URL] and Clip_2.mp4. 5. **Write a brief note** (3–6 sentences total, can be plain text in the chat) explaining: (a) the timestamp range you pulled each clip from, and (b) in one sentence each, why you chose those moments as the most engaging. --- **What to deliver:** - 2 separate MP4 files ([login to view URL] and [login to view URL] or similarly clear names) - 1 short written note covering the timestamp ranges and your reasoning **How to deliver:** Upload your final MP4 files and your written note directly in the project CHAT (the direct message thread for this job). Do not post to the Workspace feed — we review and release payment from the chat. If you have any trouble uploading large files via chat, message us first and we will arrange an alternative (e.g., a shared Google Drive link). --- **Constraints summary (must follow all of these):** - Exactly 2 clips, not 1, not 3 - Each clip: 30–60 seconds, 9:16, burned-in captions, synced audio - Zero third-party assets — everything comes from the source video only - Both clips delivered as MP4 files - Written note included **Deadline:** 2 days from assignment. If you have any questions before starting, message us in the chat. Please confirm when you accept the task that you understand and can meet the no-third-party-assets rule.

Working12 years in the design space, our team has found that the biggest challenge isn't just making a design look "modern," but making it intuitive enough that users don't have to think twice. We start by understanding what the design needs to communicate, who it’s for, and how it should make people feel. From there, we create visuals that are clean, purposeful, and aligned with the brand, not just visually appealing, but effective in communication too. Every element is placed intentionally, so the final design feels balanced, engaging, and meaningful. We have the bandwidth to start immediately. When would be a good time for a brief technical discovery call? Looking forward to hear from you and to bring your imaginations to life.

Your biggest challenge isn’t simply keeping five social media platforms active. It’s making sure Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube all feel alive, consistent, and strategically connected without your content becoming repetitive or losing the personality of your brand. What if your next 30 days of content could do more than simply keep your pages active, what if it could reveal exactly which content your audience responds to and give you a clearer strategy for growth? The problem many brands face is that they post consistently but still struggle to see stronger reach, saves, engagement, or follower growth. Reels may look good, but without a clear content strategy, strong hooks, platform-specific optimization, and regular performance analysis, it becomes difficult to know what is actually moving the audience. A conversation can go a long way in identifying what is holding your content back and what opportunities you may be missing. Even if we don’t end up working together, you’ll leave the conversation with clearer ideas and a practical direction for your social media completely free of charge. Let’s discuss your current social media challenges and map out the strongest first 30 days.

I understand and will strictly follow the no-third-party-assets rule: no external music, B-roll, sound effects, graphics, logos, or other outside material. I will use only the provided podcast footage plus the required captions. Both MP4 clips and the timestamp/selection notes will be delivered within 2 days.

I understand the brief, especially the no-third-party-assets rule. I’d use only the supplied podcast video and add nothing beyond the burned-in captions. I’ll watch the full episode and choose two genuinely strong, non-overlapping moments that can stand alone as 30–60 second clips. Each will be reframed carefully for 9:16, with the active speaker kept prominent, accurate mobile-friendly captions, clean pacing, and perfectly synced source audio. I can deliver both 1080×1920 H.264 MP4s plus the requested note with exact source timestamps and why each moment was selected. The 2-day deadline works for me, and I’ll handle the complete edit myself. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Laibakashif21 Best, Laiba
