Social Media Video Editor for Local Services
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Video Editor Needed — Short Form Social Media Content (Instagram & Facebook)
We're a local service business in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho with two brands — Simple Junk Removal and PowerAndCare Auto Detailing. We are actively posting content and running paid ads on Instagram and Facebook and need a reliable video editor who can turn our raw footage into clean, engaging short form videos consistently.
What We Need Edited:
Videos range from 15 to 45 seconds. Some are organic posts, some are paid Facebook and Instagram ads. Content includes job site footage, before and after clips, talking head videos of the owners on camera, and customer stories.
Editing Style We're Looking For:
Clean and professional but not over-produced. We want it to feel real and authentic — not like a corporate ad. Fast paced cuts that hold attention. No cheesy transitions or effects. Captions on every video — clean font, easy to read, synced perfectly to the audio. Color correction and basic color grading to make the footage pop. Music when appropriate — nothing too loud, background only so the talking is always clear. Text overlays and popups for key points — simple and bold. Vertical format for Instagram Reels and Stories. Horizontal or square for Facebook when needed.
Specific Requirements:
Must be able to match the energy of the video — fast cuts for satisfying job clips, more conversational pacing for talking head content
Captions must be accurate — we will send back anything with caption errors
Must understand the difference between organic content and paid ad creative — ads need a strong hook in the first 3 seconds
Able to take raw footage and a brief description of what we want and deliver without us having to hold your hand
Quick turnaround — ideally 24 to 48 hours per video
Able to handle ongoing weekly work as we post consistently
Volume:
We are looking for someone who can handle 4 to 8 videos per week minimum with potential to grow. We are posting daily and running multiple ad campaigns at once so consistency and speed matter.
What to Include in Your Application:
Portfolio or examples of short form content you've edited for service businesses, local businesses, or similar industries
Examples of ad creative you've edited — specifically anything under 45 seconds
Your turnaround time per video
Your rate per video or monthly rate
Preferred Experience:
Experience editing for Facebook and Instagram ads is a big plus. Familiarity with CapCut, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. Understanding of what makes a hook work in the first 3 seconds of a video. Experience adding captions and text overlays that look clean and professional.
