Video Editor - Miami, FL

We're a Miami-based video production company creating documentary-style content for nonprofits, universities, and foundations. We tell stories that matter - impact interviews, event recaps, mini-docs, podcast episodes, and social content. We're producing for 8-10 clients today and growing fast.

We're looking for a skilled video editor who can work within a structured production system, communicate clearly in English, and grow into a consistent, high-volume role.

What You'll Edit

3-5 minute YouTube videos (interviews, mini-docs, event recaps), social cut-downs for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, podcast episodes, and promotional content. Clean, story-driven style - no flashy YouTuber aesthetics. Think documentary-lite with branded intros, lower thirds, and light motion graphics.

What You'll Work With

Multi-cam footage from Nikon ZR, Sony FX6, and DJI Pocket 3. Audio from DJI wireless and Sennheiser lav mics - always clean. We shoot 32-bit float on the Nikon, so levels are forgiving. You'll receive clear creative briefs for every project: story arc, interview selects, must-have moments, and brand references.

Core Skills Required

• Multi-cam editing - syncing and cutting between 2 camera angles
• Color correction - matching Nikon/Sony/DJI cameras to a consistent look per client; DaVinci Resolve is a strong plus
• Audio work - levels, noise reduction, basic sound design and music beds
• Graphics - working with branded templates (intros, outros, lower thirds, captions)
• Social cut-downs - pulling 2-3 short clips in vertical/square formats from the main edit
• Motion graphics basics - Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop
• Software: Premiere Pro preferred; DaVinci Resolve also works

Non-Negotiables

English fluency - real-time creative communication via Slack, not just translation tools. This is a hard requirement.

Comfort working inside a structured production system. We've built StoryOS, a backend platform that integrates directly into Premiere Pro - briefs, footage checkout, exports, and tracking all run through it. Asset management and client feedback happen through Shade (shade.inc), including timestamped comments and version control. If you thrive in freelance chaos, this isn't the right fit.

How We Work

Everything flows through StoryOS + Shade + Notion. You'll get a brief, pull footage, edit, export, and deliver - all within one connected loop. Async check-ins on Slack. No ambiguity about what's needed or where things stand.

Volume and Trajectory

We're behind on deliverables and need to move fast. This starts with a test project - one real edit - and scales quickly if it goes well. The goal is 8-10 standard edits per month handed off from our CCO, freeing him for creative direction and complex work. As we add clients quarterly, volume grows. We're looking for someone building toward a near full-time role, not a one-video-a-week arrangement.
