SHORT-FORM FOOD VIDEO EDITOR - NO MUSIC - 25-30 VIDEOS/MONTH
We are looking for a talented short-form video editor specializing in food and restaurant content for a long-term collaboration.
We operate a restaurant brand and will provide the raw footage. Your job is to turn the footage into high-quality, engaging and appetizing short-form videos for social media.
This is a monthly position, not a one-off project.
MONTHLY WORKLOAD
Approximately 25-30 finished videos per month.
Typical length: 15-30 seconds per video.
We will provide the raw footage.
You will handle the editing and final delivery.
We are looking for someone who can work consistently every month and maintain the same quality across a large number of videos.
VERY IMPORTANT - NO BACKGROUND MUSIC
WE DO NOT USE BACKGROUND MUSIC IN OUR VIDEOS.
This is a strict requirement.
Do not use trending TikTok music, Instagram music, background music or music-driven editing.
If your editing style depends heavily on music to make the video engaging, this project is not a good fit for you.
Instead, we want professional sound design using natural cooking sounds, sizzling, grilling, chopping, cutting, pouring, crunch and crispy sounds, restaurant ambience, carefully selected sound effects, voice-over where appropriate, and captions or text where appropriate.
The ability to make a video engaging without music is one of the most important requirements of this job.
CONTENT
The content will be focused on restaurant and food.
Examples include kebabs, grilled meat, shawarma, burgers, loaded fries, sauces, food preparation, cooking, plating, close-up food shots, kitchen activity, staff, restaurant atmosphere and promotional content.
The food needs to look appetizing, fresh and high quality.
EDITING STYLE
We want a modern, professional and natural style.
We are looking for strong hooks, excellent pacing, good storytelling, professional food presentation, good colour correction, clean typography, professional sound design and retention-focused editing.
We do not want generic CapCut templates, excessive transitions, excessive zoom effects, flashing effects, cheap filters, overuse of animations, excessive text or generic TikTok template editing.
The food should always remain the main focus.
THE FIRST 1-2 SECONDS MATTER
The opening needs to immediately capture attention.
Do not waste the first seconds with long logo animations, introductions or unnecessary titles.
Start with the strongest visual moment available.
Examples include cutting into meat, sizzling grill, sauce being poured, close-up of finished food, crispy texture, steam or strong cooking action.
You should understand how to create a strong visual hook and retention.
RAW FOOTAGE
The footage will usually be recorded by us using smartphones and basic equipment.
It will not always be professionally filmed.
Therefore, the editor must be able to get the best possible result from imperfect raw footage.
You should be comfortable with selecting the best shots, removing unusable footage, cropping and reframing, stabilisation, colour correction, exposure correction, improving composition, creating rhythm from simple clips and professional sound design.
We are also improving our filming process over time.
FORMAT
All videos should be delivered in 9:16 vertical format and 1080 x 1920 minimum resolution.
Videos must be suitable for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts.
YOUR PORTFOLIO
Please provide 3-5 of your best short-form food or restaurant videos that you personally edited.
Restaurant and food experience is strongly preferred.
Please do not send only a general video production portfolio.
We want to see the quality of your actual short-form editing.
If you have examples where you created engaging videos without background music, please include them.
REQUIRED QUESTIONS
1. Please provide 3-5 examples of your best restaurant or food short-form videos that you personally edited.
2. How would you make a 15-30 second restaurant Reel engaging without using background music?
Please briefly explain your approach to sound design, natural audio, pacing, hooks, captions and storytelling.
3. What is your best monthly price for approximately 25 finished videos?
Please quote a monthly price rather than a price per video.
TEST EDIT
Before selecting the long-term editor, we may ask shortlisted candidates to complete a short test edit using our actual restaurant footage.
The test will be approximately 15-20 seconds.
This allows us to evaluate your actual editing ability rather than relying only on your profile, rating or portfolio.
The same raw footage will be provided to shortlisted candidates.
NO BACKGROUND MUSIC is permitted in the test.
LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a reliable editor for a long-term relationship.
The initial workload is approximately 25-30 videos per month.
If the quality and workflow are excellent, there is potential for continued and increased work.
We value quality, consistency, reliability, fast communication, meeting deadlines and the ability to handle recurring monthly volume.
PRICE
Our target budget is approximately 150-200 USD per month for approximately 25 videos.
However, we are willing to consider higher prices for an editor who demonstrates significantly higher quality.
Quality is more important than simply choosing the cheapest freelancer.
We are looking for the best combination of quality, consistency and price.
IMPORTANT FINAL NOTE
Please only apply if you are genuinely comfortable creating professional short-form content without background music.
If your portfolio is primarily based on music-driven TikTok or Instagram edits, please do not apply.
If you are excellent at turning raw food footage into engaging short-form content through editing, storytelling and professional sound design, we would like to hear from you.
