Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly efficient and creative CapCut Video Editor (Short-Form) to own the edit-to-publish pipeline for UGC and personal brand content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.

In this role, you will receive raw footage and scripts and transform them into polished, high-performing videos ready for posting. Because we produce content at volume, you must be capable of establishing a consistent weekly cadence, delivering rapid turnarounds, and independently managing your editing queue.

Schedule:

• Monday to Friday, flexible schedule during the client’s business hours (US Eastern Time, 20 hours per week)

What You Will Be Editing:

• UGC Brand Content: Product-focused short-form videos designed for brand deals. These require quick turnarounds and the creation of multiple variations per brief (testing different hooks, calls-to-action, and cuts from the same core footage).
• Talking-Head "Yap" Videos: Direct-to-camera opinion and mindset pieces. You will be responsible for cutting out dead air to maintain tight pacing, adding engaging text overlays, and layering appropriate background music.

Key Responsibilities:

• Pipeline Ownership: Take raw video assets and scripts and manage the complete post-production process through to the final, ready-to-publish export.
• High-Volume Variation: Efficiently produce 30 to 60+ video variants each week by swapping hooks, reordering segments, and testing different CTAs across 6 to 8 core videos.
• Retention Optimization: Edit for pacing, utilizing strong visual hooks and dynamic cuts to keep viewers engaged past the critical first second.
• Captioning & Overlays: Apply clean, on-brand auto-captions or manual caption styling to all necessary videos.

Requirements:

• Editing Expertise: Strong understanding of short-form social media content, viewer retention tactics, and pacing.

• Technical Proficiency: Highly proficient in CapCut (our primary tool), with a strong command of keyframes, text animation, transitions, and effects.

• Caption Animation: Experience producing high-quality animated captions (experience with tools like Submagic is a bonus, provided the final output meets quality standards).

• Reliability & Speed: Ability to consistently return finalized edits within a 24–48 hour window.

• Self-Management: Highly organized with the ability to track your own queue, manage multiple files, and meet deadlines without requiring micromanagement.
• Infrastructure: Strong, reliable Wi-Fi and the hardware capacity to seamlessly handle large raw file transfers via Google Drive or similar platforms.
