Video Editor (Ad Creatives)

About the Role

We’re hiring a part-time video editor to produce short, punchy ad creatives for Facebook/Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. This is pay-per-video work with ongoing volume.

What You’ll Do

Edit UGC-style and brand footage into direct-response ads (6–45 seconds).

Cut multiple hook variations per concept for split testing.

Add captions/subtitles (SRT + burned-in), punchy on-screen text, light motion graphics, simple transitions.

Source/trim stock B-roll and royalty-free music (we provide libraries).

Create platform-ready exports in 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 as needed.

Deliver organized project files and exports via Google Drive / ---------- .

Make 1–2 rounds of quick revisions based on feedback.

Hit reliable turnarounds: 24–48 hours for most edits (faster for simple hook swaps).

You’re a Great Fit If You

Have proven ad editing experience (please show short-form ads, not only vlogs).

Know direct-response basics (strong first 3 seconds, problem–solution flow, CTA).

Work in Premiere Pro / Final Cut / DaVinci Resolve and can share project files.

Are comfortable with sound design, levels, denoise, EQ, and music timing.

Can create clean caption styles (no typos, high readability).

Understand platform specs: bitrate, codecs, safe zones, file sizes.

Communicate clearly and meet deadlines without hand-holding.

Nice to Have (Bonus)

Basic graphics (simple lower thirds, arrows, highlights).

Experience with A/B creative testing and naming conventions.

Familiarity with home services / local services niches (plumbing, roofing, HVAC, education, etc.).

Deliverables & Quality Bar

Each “video” typically includes:

1 master edit (9:16) + 2–3 hook variants

Clean burned-in captions + SRT

Music + basic SFX

Thumbnail frame (exported still)

Optional crops (1:1 or 16:9) when requested

We value thumb-stop openings, clear benefits, and tight pacing. Fluff gets cut.
