Long-Form to Shorts Editor
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I release videos that regularly run well past the hour-mark, and every one of them needs to be reborn as punchy vertical clips for TikTok. I’ll hand over the full recording, a folder of pre-selected highlights, the soundtrack, and a reference reel that shows the pacing and colour grade I’m after. Your job is to take it from there and turn each moment into a scroll-stopping short.
Here’s the flow I have in mind:
• Work from 60-plus-minute source files and extract multiple 15-60 second cuts.
• Keep everything optimised for TikTok’s 9:16 aspect, 1080 × 1920 resolution.
• Apply crisp text overlays for captions and calls-to-action that match the style guide I provide.
• Use tasteful transitions so the energy never dips, without over-editing.
• Deliver renders and an editable project file (Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve are both fine) inside the agreed folder structure, named exactly as in the template.
I move fast, publish daily,4 clips per day and value clear communication and a rock-solid work ethic above all else. Impress me with reliability, and this becomes a full-time, long-term seat on the team.
