- Source or use provided b-roll, stock footage, and sound effects where needed.
- Keep pacing engaging and aligned with Instagram best practices.
- Ensure consistency with our brand fonts, colors, and style.
- Export and deliver files in correct format/resolution, using clean folder organization.
- Join weekly 30-minute check-ins (paid at the same rate as a video edit) to review progress and suggest improvements.

- Video footage & audio direction (or recommended tracks/styles)
- B-roll & audio software/libraries

- Revisions: up to 2 rounds based on feedback.
- Communication: proactive updates about delays, availability, or questions.
- Attention to detail: accuracy with captions, clean cuts, brand alignment.
- Constructive input: we welcome feedback on how to improve workflow or content results.

- Strong grasp of pacing, hooks, and trending editing styles.
- Proficiency in captioning, motion graphics, and transitions.
- Proficient written & spoken English.
- Reliability with deadlines and communication.
- Bonus: familiarity with business/marketing/entrepreneurship topics.

COMPENSATION
$25–35 per video, depending on skill level and experience.
- Includes the same rate for each weekly strategy meeting.
- Ongoing monthly workload of ~20 videos (approx. $500–$700/month).

HOW TO APPLY
To apply, include the following in your message:
1) Type “banana bread” in the email subject line so we know you read this.
2) Record a 2-minute video introduction: who you are, where you’re from, and your favorite hobby.
3) Up to 3 examples of short-form video edits you’ve done (Reels, TikToks, Shorts).

NEXT STEPS
If your application stands out, we’ll invite you to a 30-minute interview.

Finalists will complete a paid test project (we’ll provide raw footage, storyboard, and brand guidelines).

From there, we’ll choose 1–2 editors to start working with us on an ongoing basis.


This is a great fit if you’re looking for stable, creative freelance work, enjoy editing short-form content, and want to grow alongside a media brand.
