Video Editor – SFW & NSFW Creator Content
About the Project
We are looking for an experienced freelance video editor to support an ongoing creator-content project.
The content portfolio includes both SFW and NSFW material, covering different formats such as lifestyle, travel, fitness, behind-the-scenes content, interviews, entertainment, and other creator productions.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable working with both types of content and can maintain a consistently professional editing standard regardless of the subject matter.
This is intended to become a long-term collaboration for the right editor.
Role & Responsibilities
The main responsibility will be to transform raw footage into polished, engaging videos for different platforms and purposes.
Typical projects may include:
Long-Form Editing
Edit approximately 30–40 minutes of raw footage into a polished final video, typically around 20–30 minutes, depending on the content.
Editing may include:
• Selecting the strongest footage
• Removing unnecessary sections, mistakes, and pauses
• Improving pacing and storytelling
• Audio cleanup and enhancement
• Colour correction
• Transitions where appropriate
• Music and sound effects where appropriate
• Text and graphics
Teaser / Highlight Videos
From longer recordings, create an engaging 5–10-minute teaser/highlight video designed to generate interest in the full production.
The teaser should:
• Have a strong opening
• Maintain good pacing
• Select the most interesting moments
• Create curiosity without giving away the entire video
• Feel like a professionally produced standalone piece
Short-Form Content
Where appropriate, extract shorter clips from the original footage for:
• Instagram
• YouTube Shorts
• X
• Other social media platforms
Typical clips may be 30–90 seconds, depending on the content and platform.
Content Types
The projects may include both SFW and NSFW material and can cover:
• Lifestyle
• Travel
• Fitness & wellness
• Behind-the-scenes
• Interviews
• Entertainment
• Gaming
• Cosplay
• Creator productions
• Long-form videos
• Promotional teasers
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an editor who understands storytelling and audience retention, rather than simply cutting footage together.
Important qualities include:
• Strong sense of pacing
• Good storytelling ability
• Attention to detail
• Creative editing
• Understanding of audience retention
• Ability to identify the strongest moments in raw footage
• Consistent quality
• Reliability and meeting deadlines
• Ability to work independently
Software
Experience with professional editing software such as:
• Adobe Premiere Pro
• DaVinci Resolve
• Final Cut Pro
• After Effects
• CapCut Pro
Example Project
Input:
30–40 minutes of raw footage
Potential deliverables:
• 1 × Full edited video – approximately 20–30 minutes
• 1 × 5–10 minute teaser
• 3–5 × short-form clips
Confidentiality
Because some projects may contain private or sensitive material, confidentiality is extremely important.
The editor must:
• Keep all supplied footage confidential
• Not share, publish, or distribute material
• Not use footage in a portfolio without explicit permission
• Securely store project files
• Delete or return source material when requested
A confidentiality/NDA agreement may be required.
Application
Please provide:
1. Your portfolio or showreel
2. Examples of long-form editing
3. Examples of teaser/highlight editing
4. Examples of short-form content
5. Editing software you use
6. Typical turnaround time
7. Your pricing structure
Please also tell us whether you are comfortable working with both SFW and NSFW material.
Paid Test Project
Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a paid test project using approximately 30–40 minutes of raw footage.
The test would consist of:
• One 5–10 minute teaser
• One short-form clip
• Brief explanation of your editing approach
The test will allow us to evaluate:
• Storytelling
• Pacing
• Editing quality
• Creativity
• Understanding of the source material
• Ability to create a compelling teaser
• Turnaround time
Successful completion could lead to regular monthly projects and a long-term collaboration.
Pricing
Please provide either:
• Price per 30-minute finished video
• Price for a 5–10 minute teaser
• Price per short-form clip
or alternatively:
• Hourly rate
• Monthly retainer
We are open to discussing the most appropriate model based on the expected volume of work.
