Video editor

Job ID: 40533457

Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR

We are looking for a creative, detail-oriented Short-Form Video Editor to transform raw footage into highly engaging, visually polished videos for Instagram Reels and LinkedIn.
The ideal candidate understands how to capture attention in the first 3 seconds, structure a narrative for high retention, and adapt content to fit two distinct audiences: a visually driven community on Instagram and a professional, insight-oriented network on LinkedIn.

Key Responsibilities:
Edit Short-Form Videos: Cut, pace, and polish raw talking-head footage, behind-the-scenes clips, and educational content into seamless 30–90 second videos.
Optimize for High Retention: Implement clean cuts, strategic B-roll, subtle sound design, dynamic zooms, and visual hooks to keep viewers engaged.
Create Dynamic Captions & Graphics: Add accurate, well-timed, and visually clean on-screen subtitles. Integrate minimal, professional graphics or diagrams where necessary to explain concepts.

Platform Adaptation:
Deliver high-energy, aesthetically engaging edits for Instagram Reels.
Deliver clean, authoritative, and professional versions (often requiring a headline bar or burning-in highly readable captions) for LinkedIn.
Collaborate on Visual Identity: Maintain a consistent brand aesthetic across all video assets (fonts, color correction, and overall tone).

Qualifications & Skills:
Proven Experience: A strong portfolio or reel demonstrating short-form video editing specifically optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts.
Software Proficiency: Mastery of industry-standard tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve (CapCut is acceptable if advanced typography and keyframing skills are demonstrated).
Visual Storytelling: A sharp eye for pacing, rhythm, framing, and color grading.
Text & Typography: Excellence in text formatting—captions must be clean, correctly spelled, and timed perfectly with speech.
Self-Directed: Ability to take a raw video file and an outline/script and turn it into a cohesive story with minimal hand-holding.
Understanding of Architecture/Design Aesthetics (Optional but a major plus): An eye for clean, minimalist layouts and framing spatial or design-focused content beautifully.
