Video Editor

Our client is a dynamic brand seeking a meticulous and creative Video Editor to bring influencer-led video content to life. The Video Editor will work on creating multiple video versions that best showcase the product and resonate with the target audience.

The ideal candidate will have an eye for detail, a strong understanding of video editing best practices, and the ability to evaluate creative elements like voiceover and imagery to produce high-quality, engaging content.

Location: Fully remote (Work from home), 9 AM - 6 PM EST

Key Responsibilities:

• Voiceover & Video Review: Listen to all voiceover options from influencers and evaluate based on verbal/audio delivery quality. Pair voiceovers with corresponding videos where the influencer’s expression and delivery are strong.

• Content Selection: Review all available video clips and static images to select the best options that highlight the product’s key features. Consider images for additional placement to enhance the video’s appeal and effectiveness.

• Video Versions & Hook Strategy: Create a minimum of 3 versions of each video, each with different hooks (first 3-8 seconds) to optimize viewer engagement. Develop versions of varying lengths and focal points based on available content and strategic recommendations.

• Voiceover Transcription & Text Styling: Transcribe voiceover content and apply bolding or differentiated text styling to emphasize keywords or phrases. Audit spelling and consider additional text treatments or animations for highlighting features like "Machine Washable."

• Text Placement: Position text within safe zones, ensuring that it doesn’t obstruct focal points, such as the product or the speaker’s face.

• Product Optimization: Edit the video to ensure the product looks polished and appealing. Make minor adjustments to styling as necessary (e.g., smooth covers, align seams, remove creases).

• Music Selection & Balancing: Select appropriate background music and adjust volume levels for balance with the voiceover to create a cohesive audio experience.
