Engaging Video Editor Needed for Viral Clips -- 2

Job ID: 40235816

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Description:
We are a growing social/membership platform looking for a talented and creative video editor based in India for long-term collaboration. Your task is to create high-quality, trending short-form content for Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts aimed at our target audiences.

About the project & audience:
· For audiences attracted to male-oriented lifestyle content: edits using influencer/model visuals and lifestyle scenes.
· For audiences attracted to female-oriented lifestyle content: videos around “luxury lifestyle” themes — authentic income stories, dining, travel, cars, luxury experiences, and how our platform helps creators and users benefit.

Key tasks & content types:
Compilations / Edits: Create short, punchy clips assembled from client-provided footage, licensed clips, influencer content and user-generated material, focusing on themes of success, lifestyle and opportunity.
Thematic edits / mini-stories: Produce short videos that tell a clear mini-story (e.g., a creator’s journey — earning, traveling, enjoying life). The content should naturally communicate how our platform supports such outcomes.
Technical specs for the editor:
· Format: Vertical 9:16 (primary), sometimes 1:1 or 16:9.
· Duration: 15–60 seconds (sometimes up to 90s).
· Style: Fast-paced editing, a strong hook in the first 1–2 seconds, a clear mini-story within the clip. Videos must be high-quality, aesthetic and well-paced.
· Source material: Work from client-supplied clips, licensed stock or cleared UGC. Key skill: selecting the most engaging moments that will hook viewers and have viral potential.

Candidate requirements (you must be able to):
· Edit quickly and cleanly, selecting the best moments.
· Create accurate subtitles (Hindi required; sometimes English/Russian) + basic text animation.
· Perform basic color correction and audio work (levels, noise reduction, music sync).
· Follow references and handle revision requests.
· Meet deadlines consistently.
· Use professional software (Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve) or modern mobile/online editors (CapCut, InShot, Canva, etc.).
· Provide a portfolio with samples of short-form clips/ads (Shorts, Reels, TikTok).

Working conditions:
· Payment: Fixed rate per video or per batch (negotiable). Performance bonuses for videos that achieve exceptional engagement (views, retention). Payments will follow platform policies or mutually agreed documented methods.
· Workload: Long-term volume — 10–30 videos per week (depending on quality and speed).
· Start: 1–2 paid test videos if the result is satisfactory. We provide guidance, references and a clear structure — willingness to learn fast and deliver consistently is essential.

To apply, please send:
3–5 relevant samples (links) of short-form work (Reels/Shorts/TikTok).
Your rate: per 30–60s video and for a bundle of 10 videos.
How many videos you can deliver per day consistently.
Which software you use (Premiere, AE, CapCut, etc.).
A short note on your approach: how you choose scenes and structure a clip to maximize viewer retention and engagement.

We are willing to discuss and pay a large bonus for each successful reel. We need someone who can come up with cool trends and ideas for videos. We are also willing to discuss hourly pay. We are willing to pay large bonuses for high view counts and activity, and we are open to discussion.
