SHORT FORM VIDEO EDITOR (LEGAL NICHE)

I’m looking for a skilled short-form video editor for an ongoing client in the legal space (criminal defense attorney).

This is NOT flashy TikTok content.

We need clean, professional, authority-driven edits for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

If you specialize in over-the-top edits, gaming edits, meme-style videos, or heavy transitions — this is not the right fit.

???? Content Type
Talking-head videos
30–60 seconds
Calm, authoritative tone
Legal education + risk interpretation

???? Editing Style Requirements
Clean subtitles (professional style, not meme-style)
Subtle zoom cuts for retention
Smooth pacing (remove pauses, tighten delivery)
Clean lower thirds (name/title)
Brand color integration (minimal)
Light background music (optional, subtle)
Clean export optimized for vertical platforms

We are NOT looking for:
Meme inserts
Overdone transitions
Over-animated captions
Flashy edits
This content must feel premium and authoritative.

???? Deliverables Per Video
9:16 vertical edit
Burned-in captions
Export ready for IG / TikTok / YT Shorts

???? Volume
8–10 videos for Month 1
Ongoing monthly work (15/month from Month 2)
Long-term relationship preferred
Please write “Authority Edit” at the top of your proposal so I know you’ve read this.

???? Budget
Open to fair market rates.
Please send:
Your rate per short-form video
Portfolio (must include talking-head content)
1–2 examples of professional / authority-style edits
We will start with 1 paid test video before committing long-term.

???? Important
If you’ve worked with:
Lawyers
Coaches
Consultants
Personal brands
Corporate creators

That’s a strong plus.
