Short-Form Video Editor / Content Clipper — Ongoing Work I’m looking for an experienced short-form video editor/content clipper to turn my long-form classroom content into engaging, ready-to-post social media videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. The Content I teach a college-level course focused on social media, entrepreneurship, content creation, branding, and marketing. I record my full classes, which are approximately **60 minutes long**. These classes contain numerous conversations, lessons, examples, stories, and teaching moments that can be turned into individual pieces of short-form content. I do not want to provide timestamps for every clip. A major part of this role is being able to watch the long-form content and **identify the moments that have the greatest potential to become engaging short-form content.** What I Need You will take approximately 60 minutes of raw classroom footage and: - Identify the strongest standalone moments from the class - Turn those moments into approximately **45–90 second vertical videos** - Create a strong opening hook using the existing content whenever possible - Remove unnecessary pauses, filler words, dead space, and portions that don't contribute to the message - Use pacing, punch-ins/zooms, transitions, B-roll, graphics, and other editing techniques when appropriate - Add clean, accurate, engaging on-screen captions - Highlight important words or phrases within the captions when appropriate - Make sure each clip tells a complete story or delivers a clear takeaway - Format everything in **9:16 vertical format (1080 × 1920)** - Deliver finished videos ready to upload to Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts Content Strategy I'm not looking for someone who simply cuts videos. I'm looking for an editor who understands **short-form storytelling and viewer retention**. You should be able to recognize when something I say could become a strong piece of content and understand how to package that moment so someone who has never seen my class still understands it. The goal is for someone scrolling Instagram or TikTok to stop, watch, learn something, and ideally want to follow for more. Editing Style The content should feel: Professional Educational Authentic Fast-paced without being over-edited Native to Instagram/TikTok/YouTube Shorts I don't want every video filled with unnecessary effects. The editing should support the message rather than distract from it. Ongoing Opportunity This is potentially an "ongoing position". I regularly record approximately 60-minute classes and would like to build a consistent pipeline of short-form content from those recordings. If we work well together, I would prefer to establish a predictable monthly workflow rather than continually hiring different editors. When Applying, Please Include 1. Links to 3–5 short-form videos you personally edited, preferably talking-head, podcast, educational, or similar content. 2. An example of content where you were responsible for selecting the clip from longer footage, not simply editing a timestamp provided by the client. 3. Your typical turnaround time for approximately 60 minutes of raw footage. 4. Approximately how many high-quality short-form clips you would expect to identify from a 60-minute recording. 5. Your price per completed clip. 6. Your price per 60-minute source video, if you offer project-based pricing. 7. Your monthly retainer price and what number of finished clips that would include. 8. How many revisions are included. 9. What editing software you use. 10. Whether you are comfortable following an established editing/caption style once we develop one together. Paid Trial For this paid trial, I will provide one approximately 60-minute classroom recording. You will be responsible for identifying the 5 moments you believe have the greatest short-form content potential and turning those into 5 polished, ready-to-post videos. I will NOT provide timestamps. - Identify strong content without being given timestamps - Create compelling hooks - Understand the context of what I'm teaching - Edit for retention - Create accurate captions - Maintain my natural speaking style - Deliver polished, ready-to-post videos If the trial goes well, I am interested in establishing an ongoing relationship and potentially moving to a monthly retainer.

Hello, I get what you're looking for. My plan is simple: I'll watch the full 60-minute class, pick out the best moments that really pop, and turn those into punchy 45-90 second clips. I’ll focus on crafting a strong hook at the start to grab attention right away and cut out any filler to keep it tight. This way, we can make sure each video is engaging and ready for social media without wasting time on the boring bits. To nail this, could you tell me which themes or topics you think resonate most with your audience? Also, do you have any examples of clips you really liked from past work or other creators?

Hello I’ll watch each 60-minute class and identify the strongest moments myself, without relying on timestamps.

I’ll make sure each clip works as a standalone piece while keeping your natural teaching style and message intact. I’m also comfortable developing a consistent editing and caption style for the ongoing workflow.

What matters most to me in this project is not just editing the clips, but finding the moments that are actually worth turning into short-form content. Do you already have a preferred caption style or examples of Shorts/Reels you want to use as a reference? I can review the full 60-minute classroom recording, identify moments with a strong standalone idea or takeaway, and turn them into 45–90 second vertical videos designed to hold attention. My approach would be to find the strongest opening within the original content, remove unnecessary pauses and filler, tighten the pacing, and use punch-ins, captions, highlighted words, B-roll or simple graphics only when they improve the message. Each clip should make sense to someone who has never seen the original class. I mainly use Premiere Pro and After Effects, and I’m comfortable developing and consistently following an established editing and caption style. For the paid trial, I can independently review the full recording, select the 5 strongest moments, and deliver 5 polished 9:16 videos without requiring timestamps. For an ongoing workflow, I’d be open to discussing per-clip or monthly pricing after the trial.

Hi, This is exactly the kind of short-form editing I enjoy—finding the strongest moments in long-form content and turning them into clips people actually want to watch. I won’t need timestamps; I can watch the full 60-minute class, identify the most valuable/engaging teaching moments, and shape them into complete 45–90 second stories with strong hooks. I’ll handle tight pacing, removing filler and dead space, strategic punch-ins, relevant B-roll/graphics, and clean captions with highlighted keywords, while keeping the content authentic and educational rather than overly edited. I’m comfortable creating 5 polished clips for the paid trial and can follow your established style consistently once developed. I use professional editing software and can provide relevant talking-head/educational samples, including examples where I selected the clips myself. If the trial works well, I’d be happy to build a reliable ongoing workflow with you.
