JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a creative and highly organized Video Editor Virtual Assistant to join our content team. You will be responsible for transforming raw footage into high-quality, engaging videos for YouTube and repurposing that content for social media platforms (TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts).

The ideal candidate has a "story-first" mindset, understands platform-specific algorithms, and can take a project from raw files to a polished final product with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities
Long-Form Editing: Edit 5-6 YouTube videos per week, including narrative cutting, B-roll insertion, sound design, and color grading.

Short-Form Repurposing: Extract "viral" ---------- nts from long-form content to create 20–25 high-energy vertical videos (Reels/TikToks) per week.

Engagement Elements: Add dynamic captions, motion graphics, and sound effects (SFX) that keep viewers watching.

Thumbnail Support: (Optional but preferred) Design high-click-through-rate (CTR) thumbnails using Photoshop or Canva.

Asset Management: Organize raw footage, project files, and final exports in a shared cloud drive (Google Drive/Dropbox).

Required Skills & Qualifications
Software Mastery: Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (preferred), Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. Knowledge of After Effects is a huge plus.

Social Media Native: You understand the "vibe" of different platforms—you know when to use a fast-paced "jump cut" for TikTok vs. a smoother transition for YouTube.

Technical Basics: Expert knowledge of aspect ratios (16:9 vs 9:16), frame rates, and file compression.

Communication: Strong English communication skills and the ability to follow a creative brief.

Reliability: Ability to meet strict deadlines and handle feedback/revisions professionally.

Portfolio Requirements (MUST HAVE)
Please do not apply without a link to your portfolio. We are specifically looking for:

A Demo Reel: A 60-second summary of your best work.

Long-Form Examples: At least 2 links to full YouTube videos you have edited.

Short-Form Examples: At least 3 links to Reels/TikToks/Shorts showcasing your use of captions and pacing.
