Premiere Pro Assistant Editor (Organize footage, cut it and place it in Premiere Sequences)
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m looking for experienced Premiere Pro assistant editors to help organize raw footage and prepare clean, well-structured Premiere Pro projects that are ready for editing.
This role is focused on footage organization and select-building, not creative editing. You’ll review raw video and audio and assemble them into clearly labeled Premiere Pro sequences. The goal is to deliver a project where all sequences are organized, selects are easy to navigate, and the creative edit can begin immediately.
All footage is stored in Google Drive. Premiere Pro project files and media must remain organized and synced within Google Drive using the provided folder and project structure.
Responsibilities include:
– Reviewing raw footage and audio in full
– Identifying visually strong, emotionally meaningful, or narratively important moments
– Cutting selects into organized “Selects” or “Stringout” sequences (not final edits)
– Grouping selects by theme, scene, or category when applicable
– Using markers, clip labels, and clear naming to preserve context
– Building and maintaining clean Premiere Pro bin structures
– Ensuring all media and project files follow the defined Google Drive folder structure
Important notes:
– No creative editing, effects, transitions, or storytelling required
– No music, color grading, or sound design
– Focus is strictly organization, selects, and prep
– You must delete all my footage from your local disks when completed
Requirements:
– Strong working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro
– Experience with bins, sequences, markers, labels, and media management
– Excellent attention to detail and consistency
– Comfortable working with Google Drive–based workflows
– Fast and reliable high-speed internet. You will be downloading and uploading large amounts of data
If you enjoy clean project setup and preparing footage so the edit flows smoothly, this role is a great fit."
Video Sequence Assemble Steps
1. Receive the list of videos required assembly and access to Google Drive. Go to the Subfolder 1. You will find the Premiere folder (where all premiere work files must go), the Bins (all footage), Thumbnails (cover images, if any), and Final Cuts folder (the ready to share HD video files), and a Google document with the captions.
2. Create the prproj file in the Premiere folder. Name it with the subfolder 1 name. Following the file structure and name convention in the respective Google Drive folders is important.
3. Open the google docs file to go over the captions and understand what the video(s) are about
4. Create the FHD sequence(s) for the respective videos. Also create one for bloopers and BTS noteworthy footage to savage.
5. Add the footage from the Bins. Most likely the latest recordings are the best ones (but not always, ask me before you start to avoid double-work).
6. Layer the footage including multiple camera angles so we can select the best one.
7. Trim and adjust the footage. Trim and crop excess.
8. Pay closer attention to mis-pronunciations and select the best selections of the actor's speech, the ones that sound the most natural. Use the sections with the best pronounciation and acting.
9. Add the audio layers (google "Zoom H6 LR vs BU files" to understand how to use both audio files if needed to ensure the best audio quality)
10. Add the captions from the Google Doc.
11. Export the video(s) first draft to the Premiere folder so that I can revise it. Save the prproj file, ensuring it's linked to the correct Media, so that when I open it, it's link to the bin or that I can link it effortlessly. If other files are created as the result of working on this sequence, ensure it's in the Drive.
Job pays between $6 to $12 per sequence assembled.
As of right now, 30+ videos are ready for assemble. More coming.
Needed ASAP. Thanks
