Video Editing for UGC E-commerce Ads

Job ID: 40592171

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

VIDEO EDITOR — SIMPLE UGC E-COMMERCE ADS
Paid Trial + Long-Term Opportunity

We are looking for 3 experienced video editors to complete a paid one-week trial.

This is a long-term role for the right person. We do not need complicated cinematic editing, heavy effects, or advanced motion graphics.

We need someone who can create clean, natural, high-converting UGC-style e-commerce ads:
- voice-over
- relevant video clips
- clean subtitles
- fast pacing
- no awkward silences
- correct spelling and brand details

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THE JOB
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Your job is pure editing.

We will provide:
- the background video / video clips
- the final ElevenLabs voice-over as an MP3
- reference ads when relevant
- brand name, text, offer and CTA
- all necessary assets

You will:
- edit the video in a natural UGC ad style;
- cut all unnecessary silences and dead space from the voice-over;
- match the visuals to what is being said in the voice-over;
- add clean, accurate subtitles;
- make sure the product is shown when the voice-over talks about the product;
- make sure relevant visuals appear when the voice-over mentions an ingredient, benefit, problem, review, etc.;
- add simple music/SFX only when they improve the ad;
- check every subtitle, product name and brand name for spelling mistakes;
- export polished vertical 9:16 ads ready for Meta/TikTok.

We are looking for simple but effective editing. The ad must feel natural, make sense visually, and keep attention.

PAID TRIAL — FIRST WEEK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Duration: 1 week
- Production days: 3 days during the week
- Standard workload: 15 videos per production day
- Typical video duration: 30–40 seconds
- Maximum standard duration: 60 seconds
- If videos are closer to 60 seconds, the daily quantity may be reduced to around 10 videos.
- If videos are much shorter than 30 seconds, the quantity may be increased.

Trial payment: $100 USD total for the week.

This rate is fixed and non-negotiable.

The trial videos will be simple: all core assets and the final voice-over will already be provided. You will not need to search for UGC footage, create scripts, generate voice-over, or find product resources from scratch.

Please apply only if you accept the fixed trial rate and can reliably handle this workload.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
AFTER THE TRIAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

We will select one editor for a long-term collaboration.

For the same simple workload:
- approximately 15 videos per production day;
- approximately 30–60 seconds per video;
- 3 production days per week;

the base rate remains $100 USD per week / approximately $33 USD per production day.

As the role grows, pay will increase if:
- videos become longer or more complex;
- more videos are required;
- additional responsibilities are added;
- your quality, speed and reliability are consistently strong.

After the trial, payment can be weekly, biweekly, or per day depending on your preference.

REQUIREMENTS

- Fast, organized and reliable.
- Able to follow a brief and recreate the rhythm and structure of successful competitor ads without overcomplicating the edit.
