Experienced Video Editor for E-commerce Business
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
Overview
We’re an Australian e-commerce business specialising in custom blinds (indoor + outdoor), and we’re looking for a high-level video editor to work with founder-led content.
This is not basic editing — we need someone who understands conversion, storytelling, and performance marketing.
You’ll be editing videos used for:
Product pages (conversion-focused)
Facebook / Instagram ads
Educational / how-to videos (measuring, installation, product demos)
What You’ll Be Working With
Single-person, founder-led footage (often self-shot)
Real environments (homes, outdoor spaces)
Practical demonstrations (measuring, installing, explaining products)
Core Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
1. Accurate English Subtitles
Must be word-for-word accurate (Australian English)
Clean formatting, easy to read on mobile
Ability to highlight key phrases for emphasis
2. Strong Editing for Single-Person Content
Cut out dead space, hesitation, filler
Improve pacing and flow
Add visual interest without over-editing
3. E-commerce Understanding
You MUST understand:
Hook → Problem → Solution → Offer → CTA structure
How to retain attention in the first 3–5 seconds
How to edit for conversion, not just aesthetics
4. Creative + Strategic Thinking
Add B-roll, overlays, callouts where needed
Suggest improvements (don’t just follow instructions blindly)
Ability to turn raw footage into engaging, high-performing content
5. Experience with Australian Clients
Familiar with Australian tone, language, and expectations
Understanding of local style (no overly “Americanised” edits)
Preferred Experience
E-commerce brands (especially home improvement, construction, or DIY)
Direct response / performance marketing videos
Founder-led or UGC-style content
Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ad creatives
Editing Style We’re Looking For
Clean, modern, professional
Not over-the-top or “TikTok gimmicky”
Clear, confident, slightly bold
Think: high-trust, high-conversion
Typical Tasks
Edit 15–30 second ad videos (TOF + MOF)
Edit 30–90 second product/demo videos
Add subtitles, motion text, and light graphics
Insert product shots / supporting visuals where needed
Optimise for different formats (1:1, 9:16, 16:9)
Deliverables
Final videos in multiple aspect ratios:
1:1 (square)
9:16 (reels / stories)
16:9 (website / YouTube)
Source files (if requested)
Fast turnaround (ideally 24–72 hours per video)
To Apply
Please include:
Portfolio (REQUIRED)
Examples of e-commerce or ad-style videos
Preferably founder-led or UGC content
Specific Experience
Have you worked with Australian clients? (Yes/No + examples)
Experience with e-commerce brands?
Your Approach
How do you improve a basic talking-head video?
Availability + Turnaround Times
Nice to Have (Bonus)
Experience with blinds, home improvement, or similar products
Ability to suggest hooks or script improvements
Understanding of Meta ad performance
Important
We are not looking for cheap editing.
We are looking for someone who can:
-Make videos more engaging
- Improve conversion rates
- Contribute creatively
If that’s you, this can turn into ongoing work.
