Part-Time Entertainment Reels Editor

I create a steady flow of short-form entertainment clips and need a part-time editor who can turn raw footage into polished reels that feel effortless and clean. The material shifts from live music performances to quick comedy moments and sit-down interviews, so your eye for pacing and story across different vibes is crucial.

The finished edits will live mainly on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, so vertical 9:16 framing, tight hooks, and smooth captioning are a must. I lean toward a minimalist, uncluttered look—no flashy wipes or heavy motion-graphics—just crisp cuts, tasteful typography, and audio that stays clear and balanced.

Workflow
• I’ll drop raw files and brief notes into a shared drive.
• You send back ready-to-post MP4s plus the project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci—your choice).
• Typical run time is 15–60 seconds; I’m aiming for 3–5 reels each week, with a 48-hour turnaround.

Acceptance criteria for each reel
• 1080 × 1920 resolution, H.264 codec
• Clean color, leveled audio, hard-coded captions
• No watermark, minimal transitions, consistent font use
• File name and metadata formatted to platform specs

If you have a knack for keeping edits lean while letting the performance or punchline shine, I’d love to see a link to your latest vertical work and talk about starting this week.
