Social Media Video Editor
Budget: $8 – $15 AUD
# Ongoing Short-Form Video Editing Support for Social Media Content
## Project Overview
We are looking for an experienced video editor to support our content team with ongoing short-form video editing.
Our company produces a high volume of content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts and Meta Ads. We already have an in-house videographer capturing footage and creating content concepts. We now need an additional editor to assist with post-production and increase overall content output.
This is an ongoing project rather than a one-off edit.
The successful freelancer will become an extension of our content team and assist with editing, repurposing and formatting content on a weekly basis.
