We are a scaling marketing agency looking for a talented individual video editor to work with us on Reels, short-form content, and VSLs. We are NOT looking for an agency. We want an individual editor who is fast, reliable, follows instructions well, and wants to grow with us. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR You should understand what good organic content looks like today. We like editing that feels native to Instagram and TikTok - clean, minimal, fast-paced and engaging, rather than overly edited and obviously "an ad." You should be comfortable with: * Reels / TikToks / Shorts * Talking-head and UGC content * VSLs * Captions, B-roll, hooks and pattern interrupts * AI-assisted editing and newer AI video tools We will give you clear instructions, references and inspiration, so you do not need to be the world's greatest creative strategist. But if you can think for yourself, spot something that could make the edit better, and bring ideas to the table, that is a big plus. AI + SPEED MATTERS We are interested in editors who are experimenting with the latest AI tools and faster editing workflows. The goal is not to use AI just for the sake of it. It is to help you produce better work, faster. SHOW US YOUR WORK Do not send us a giant portfolio. Just send: * 3 of your best organic Reels / short-form edits * 1 VSL edit, if you have one * The editing tools and AI tools you use * Your availability and expected rate If you have edited something that went viral, performed exceptionally well, or received great client feedback, show us that one. Actual work matters more than a resume. WHO WILL FIT WELL This could be a particularly good opportunity for young, hungry editors and upstarts who are genuinely good at what they do and want to build with a growing company. You do not need 10 years of experience. If you are fast, sharp, coachable, curious about new tools, and obsessed with making content better, we would rather talk to you than someone with a fancy resume. LONG-TERM WORK We are scaling our marketing agency, so this is not intended to be a one-off project. The right person can get consistent ongoing work as our content volume grows. We will provide ready-to-edit work for the initial test: 3 organic Reels and 1 VSL, along with clear instructions and references. Shortlisted candidates will be given the material and a clear brief to complete as a paid test project. If you do great work, there is a lot more coming. ONE SMALL TEST OF WHETHER YOU READ THIS When applying, start your application with the exact words: "I am a solo editor." Applications that do not start with those exact words probably did not make it this far. Apply with your best work, not a generic portfolio.

Hello, Your focus on native-looking Reels, TikToks and VSLs rather than over-edited “ad-style” content stood out to me. For this role, I’d keep the editing clean and purposeful while using strong hooks, pacing, captions and pattern interrupts to hold attention without making the content feel forced. My workflow is built around Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with AI tools such as Runway, ElevenLabs and other current AI-assisted workflows when they genuinely improve speed or quality. I’ll turn talking-head and UGC footage into sharp short-form edits, using relevant B-roll, dynamic captions, sound design and subtle visual changes while following your references and instructions closely. Before committing to the full workload, I’m happy to create a small sample from your footage so you can judge my pacing, caption style and overall approach. If the direction works for you, I’ll continue with the complete work and remain open to revisions, feedback and ongoing improvements as your content system develops. Send me the footage, references and preferred style, and I can get started quickly. I can also share a focused selection of my strongest short-form work and discuss availability and rate. I’m looking for exactly the kind of consistent, long-term collaboration you’re building. MD SHER-E ALI

The real challenge here is speed without making the content feel rushed or over-edited. I’m comfortable building native-looking Reels, TikToks, Shorts, and VSLs with clean pacing, strong hooks, captions, B-roll, and purposeful pattern interrupts. I also use AI-assisted workflows where they genuinely improve speed or quality, while keeping the final edit human and platform-native. I’m comfortable working from clear references and briefs, but I’ll also flag opportunities to improve pacing, hooks, or retention when I see them. I’m looking for exactly the kind of long-term collaboration you described. I have two quick questions to make sure we're on the same page: What editing software and AI tools are currently in your workflow? What is your expected weekly content volume after the paid test? Let’s discuss your project now!

Hello! I am a solo editor. We are a team of 62 professionals with over 9 years of experience in content creation and video editing, but for this role, I would be your dedicated individual editor handling all Reels, short-form content, and VSLs personally. We understand you want a fast, reliable editor who follows instructions well and wants to grow with your scaling agency—not an agency with rotating teams. Here's how we can help: - Deliver clean, native-feeling Reels and TikToks for talking-head and UGC content, with captions, B-roll, hooks, and pattern interrupts that feel organic, not overly "ad-like." - Edit VSLs that convert, using AI-assisted tools like Descript, Runway, or CapCut to speed up workflows without sacrificing quality. - Bring creative ideas to the table—spotting what could make an edit better and proactively suggesting improvements. - Work long-term as your content volume grows, with fast turnaround and clear communication throughout. To confirm, are you looking for a specific number of Reels per week, and do you have preferred aspect ratios (9:16 vs 1:1) for different platforms? Also, what's your typical feedback loop—do you prefer rough cuts or polished first drafts? I can send my 3 best organic Reels, a VSL edit, my tools, availability, and rate right away. Let's get started with the paid test.

I am a solo editor. I can turn your raw footage into fast clean and engaging Reels Shorts and VSLs that feel native to Instagram and TikTok rather than overly produced ads. I focus on strong hooks sharp pacing captions B roll and pattern interrupts while keeping the content natural. I understand that you are looking for an individual editor rather than an agency and that speed reliability and following instructions are important. I am comfortable working from clear briefs references and examples while also making smart editing decisions when I see an opportunity to improve the final result. For organic short form content I focus heavily on the first few seconds. I will remove unnecessary pauses tighten the pacing and use captions B roll zooms cuts and pattern interrupts only where they improve retention and keep the viewer engaged. I am also comfortable editing talking head and UGC content as well as VSLs where structure pacing clarity and presentation are especially important. I can adapt the editing style to match the reference rather than forcing the same editing approach onto every project. I use professional editing tools including Premiere Pro and After Effects and I am also comfortable incorporating AI assisted tools into the workflow when they genuinely improve speed or quality. I see AI as a production advantage rather than a replacement for good editing judgment.
