About The Third Half: The Third Half ([login to view URL]) is a Substack newsletter and interview series covering business leadership, second-act careers, ESG and technology. The Blueprint interview series features senior executives, sports figures and business leaders in long-form conversation. Before applying, please visit [login to view URL] to get a feel for the tone and audience. This is intelligent, grown-up content — not corporate, not clickbait. The Role: We need a sharp video editor to take each Blueprint interview and cut it into social media clips for distribution across LinkedIn, Instagram, X and TikTok. You will receive a full interview recording and produce: 10 short clips per interview - TikTok/Reels style - 30–90 seconds each - Punchy, self-contained moments — a strong opinion, a surprising insight, a good story - Subtitles/captions included - Formatted for vertical (9:16) and square (1:1) 1–2 longer shorts per interview - 2–3 minutes each - For use as a "launch" trailer when the full interview goes live - Horizontal or square format These should work as a standalone taster — someone who hasn't heard of TTH should watch it and want to hear the full thing What We're Looking For: - Proven experience cutting social clips from long-form interviews or podcasts - We will provide guidance but you should have good instinct for what makes a moment — you watch the full interview and find the gold, we don't timestamp it for you - Clean, minimal editing style — no flashy transitions, no over-produced graphics - Captions that are accurate and well-timed - Reliable turnaround: clips delivered within 5 working days of receiving the source file - Comfortable with vertical, square and horizontal formats What We're Not Looking For: - Heavy motion graphics or complex animation - A generic corporate look — TTH has a voice, the clips should feel consistent with it - Someone who needs extensive briefing on every clip — after the first interview, you should understand the show Trial Task: Shortlisted candidates will be given access to an archive Blueprint interview and asked to produce: - 2 short clips (30–90 seconds, vertical format, captioned) This is a non paid trial. We will assess on clip selection (did you find the best moments?), editing quality, and caption accuracy. Following this there will be a paid trial. To Apply: Please send: Two or three examples of social clips you've cut from long-form interviews or podcasts A brief note on your process — how do you watch an interview and decide what to clip? Your rate per interview (covering 10 short clips + 1–2 longer shorts) The Third Half is a growing independent publication. We work with people who take the craft seriously and like having creative autonomy. If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.

Hello, I’ve carefully reviewed your project and the tone of The Third Half, and I fully understand the need for intelligent, clean, and insight-driven editing that respects the depth of your interviews. I specialize in extracting high-impact moments from long-form conversations and turning them into engaging, standalone social clips without over-editing or losing authenticity. My process involves watching the full interview to identify “golden moments”—strong opinions, unique insights, or compelling stories—then structuring each clip with a clear hook, smooth pacing, and natural flow. I edit using Adobe Premiere Pro, ensuring precise cuts, clean audio, and minimal yet effective styling, with accurate, well-timed captions that enhance clarity without distraction. Each clip will be optimized for vertical (9:16) and square (1:1) formats, maintaining consistency with your brand voice across LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and TikTok. Longer 2–3 minute cuts will be crafted as strong narrative teasers to drive interest in the full interview. I can reliably deliver all assets within your 5-day turnaround, maintaining quality and consistency across every batch. Before moving forward, I’m happy to complete your trial task to demonstrate my clip selection and editing approach. Please send me a message so I can share relevant portfolio samples and discuss your workflow and rates in detail. MD Sher-e Ali

Greetings, The Blueprint interview series already has the kind of depth and authority that performs well on social, and the opportunity here is turning long-form insight into sharp, high-retention moments without losing the intelligence or tone of The Third Half. I can take full interview recordings and distill them into a structured set of social clips that feel natural, thoughtful, and platform-ready. My focus is on identifying strong narrative pivots, opinion-led moments, and emotionally clear statements that can stand alone, then shaping them into clean, captioned edits optimized for LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and TikTok. What makes my approach effective is editorial judgment first, editing second. I do not rely on timestamps, I watch the full conversation to identify genuine “turning point” moments, then build clips around clarity, pacing, and meaning. The result is content that feels intelligent and aligned with the tone of long-form journalism rather than recycled social noise. You will receive a complete set of short-form vertical clips plus longer teaser edits, all captioned accurately and formatted for multi-platform distribution, with a consistent, minimal editing style that respects the integrity of the original conversation.
