Video Editor (Social Media Motion Design)

Role Summary

We’re looking for a part-time Video Editor to transform raw footage into clean, polished, professional short-form content for social media. You’ll also support motion design and, where relevant, create AI-assisted mockups to showcase websites, branding, and digital work in a compelling way.

What You’ll Do

• Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn
• Turn raw footage into high-quality edits with strong pacing, rhythm, and structure
• Apply clean audio syncing, noise reduction, and sound mixing
• Create motion design elements (titles, lower thirds, transitions, simple graphics)
• Format content for multiple aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) and platform specs
• Develop template-based styles for consistent, brand-aligned output
• Create showcase videos using mockups (websites, branding, product visuals)
• Use AI tools where useful (without compromising quality) for:
  • b-roll generation, image enhancement, clean cutouts
  • animated mockups, stylised transitions, quick concept visuals
• Collaborate with our team on briefs, iterations, and content schedules
• Deliver final exports with correct naming, versions, and file organisation

Must-Have Skills

• Proven experience editing social media content (short-form)
• Strong editing fundamentals: storytelling, pacing, sound, rhythm, clean cuts
• Confident with motion graphics basics
• Strong attention to detail and ability to match a brand style
• Reliable communication and ability to hit deadlines consistently
• Comfortable receiving feedback and turning revisions quickly

Tools (You Should Be Comfortable With)

• Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Final Cut Pro
• After Effects (or equivalent) for motion design
• Familiarity with CapCut is a bonus (not required)
• Basic understanding of mockup workflows (e.g., PSD mockups, web screen recordings, overlays)

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI creative tools for video and visual production
• Experience creating videos that present websites, branding, UI/UX, or digital products
• Understanding of social-first best practices (hook in first 1–2 seconds, retention editing, subtitles when needed)

Output Expectations

• Short-form videos that feel premium, modern, and professional
• Clean motion design (not “template-looking” unless requested)
• Consistent formatting, exports, and organised project files
• Ability to produce multiple edits efficiently while maintaining quality

Hours & Engagement

• Part-time ongoing (flexible hours)
• Workload varies week to week depending on content pipeline
• Remote-friendly (Sydney-based is a plus)

How to Apply

Please send:

1. A portfolio (links preferred) showing social edits + motion work
2. Your availability (hours per week + timezone)
3. Your rates (hourly or per-video)
4. A short note on your workflow and the tools you use

Important: Applications without a portfolio will not be considered. We’re looking for editors who can deliver work beyond simple caption overlays—clean, professional edits with strong pacing and polish.
