Must know Premiere.

Editor to assist director with practical technical issues and to take a pass at editing a full cut of the film

You will be working in coordination with the Director to help edit the film. You will be asked to assist with practical technical issues as they arise and you will also have the opportunity to take a pass at editing the entire film as well.

I'm looking for a rare breed of person who has a combination of:

1. Strong storytelling skills

2. Strong video editing skills

3. *Preferably* somebody who has experience editing for YouTube, which is very different from Television, Film, and corporate video editing styles



Here's a description of the work I need done from start to finish:

1. Have Google Drive for Desktop installed on your machine

2. Make the root folder of the project "available offline" which will download all the files to your desktop

3. The project will be pre assembled, meaning the 3-4 hours of footage has already been distilled down to a 12-20 minute sequence, and the basic story structure is already 80% there. Your job is to find opportunities to squeeze every drop of life from this sequence, making it able to compete with any viral video on YouTube. This includes scoring the video with engaging music. (Ever watch movie clips without the music track? Ability to choose the right music, and have the music reflect the events of the video in real time is the MOST IMPORTANT SKILL! I have a bank of songs to choose from, with 10 different genres/moods.) It also includes re organizing clips into the order that maintain the tension of the story, and keep viewers watching through to the very end.

4. Watch my most recent videos, and match the editing style of pace, music, humor, animations/motion graphics, crops, sfx, tastefully punctuating the video with drone shots and b-roll, captions etc. (Color grading is not required, I'll handle that)

5. Deliver V.1 via Frame.io, and I'll leave notes for changes. Complete changes, and deliver V.2 etc, usually V.4 is the final edit.



If this doesn't describe your experience and abilities, please don't apply. If this sounds like you, there's an exciting future ahead, please apply!

Our agency is seeking a video editor to work with us as a contractor on a long term, part time basis to edit several corporate videos. These are not film or TV projects. Our agency focuses on storytelling for corporations with much of our work focused on overall wellbeing, corporations doing good, and/or outdoor initiatives.

Hourly work is most likely but some projects may be structured in a project based contract. For this role we're expecting someone who is capable of independently executing producer direction in editing. This editor should also be someone who works well in a collaborative environment - occasionally meeting to work together in person.

Indie Feature film editor needed. Ultra low budget so will need someone who is looking for feature credit.
Share progress with director via Frame.io
Negotiable with rate and duration depending on estimated time once you see our script. 91 pages.

We are looking for a food competition editor. Must have prior experience with Food competition shows working in Avid.

We would currently just be one video series amongst your other clients.....but position would scale with the right prospect...our target for 2024 is 4 retainer clients per month.

We are a small, queer-owned documentary production company seeking a freelance Editor for ongoing projects focused on conservation and uplifting diverse voices.

Filming for these remote, single-camera verité style documentaries begins in March 2023. Locations will vary across the country.

Instead of a resume or cover letter, tell us in a short paragraph why you care about conservation, regenerative agriculture, or related environmental/social impact topics. Having passion about this space is key. I know you're applying for an editing job so that's assumed.

While the editing can be done remotely, we prefer candidates based in or very near New York City (including NJ/Newark) so we can meet in person occasionally.

Please send a link to your editing reel/samples along with your paragraph. Please don't write more than that. If you do I'll know you did not read the entire posting ;) . If it seems like a potential fit, we can set up a meeting to talk further.

This is for an initial video, but we are in the process of onboarding new clients for next year and currently don't have a go-to editor.....so the work load has a lot of potential. We selected 1 month as we had to select something but this could be ongoing with the right prospect.

Looking for someone who feels like this sounds like fun and would be a good opportunity for them to grow. Looking at about $1200-2000 a month worth of work to start depending on the project. Obviously based on the rate we are not looking for someone with insane experience. Also prefer folks who have self shot and edited their own docs.

Prefer final cut editors but could be open to the right premiere candidate.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
