Short Form Video Editor

What You'll Be Doing

I'm a fitness coach based in Australia and I create short-form video content for Instagram and YouTube. I need a reliable video editor who can turn raw footage into polished, engaging Reels that feel on-brand and are ready to post.

This starts as a test project with paid work. If your edits are great and you're fast, there is consistent ongoing work available.

What I'm Looking For

Experience editing short-form vertical video (Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
Comfortable with captions, text overlays, and on-screen graphics
Good eye for pacing — knows when to cut and how to keep viewers watching
Can work with music, voiceover, and sound design
Delivers clean, export-ready files without being chased
Fast turnaround — speed matters as much as quality
Portfolio or examples of past video work (required to apply)

The Test Project

Everyone who applies will receive the same raw footage to edit. This is how I find the best person — same brief, same footage, best result wins the ongoing role.

The raw footage link is below. It contains three videos in a single file. Edit all three and return them as separate finished exports.

----------

Download the footage, edit all three videos, and send back your finished files with your application.

How I'll Choose

01
Speed — How quickly do you get the test back to me? Fast editors are valuable. Slow editors slow down my content calendar.
02
Quality — Are the edits clean? Good pacing? Captions on point? Does it look like something I'd actually post?
03
Communication — Do you ask smart questions? Are you easy to work with? Do you follow the brief?

Getting Paid

$12 AUD per finished video
Everyone who completes the test project gets paid — even if you're not selected
Ongoing work paid per video, processed promptly
