Bilingual Japanese/English Video Editor (Short-Form Ads)

We make short-form video ads and need a BILINGUAL (Japanese + English) video editor who is genuinely good at editing.

IMPORTANT: You must actually speak Japanese AND English. In your application, please state your real Japanese level (e.g. native, JLPT N1/N2, business, conversational) - applications that don't mention a genuine Japanese level will be skipped.

We give you footage/assets, a script, and reference videos. You edit them into a polished ad that matches the intended style and pacing - clean cuts, good timing, captions/subtitles, and on-screen text that reads naturally in both Japanese and English.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Edit short-form video ads (cuts, pacing, transitions, timing)
• Add and time captions/subtitles in Japanese and English
• Match a reference video's style, structure, and pacing
• Handle on-screen text and localization accurately across both languages
• Deliver polished ads on a fast, roughly one-per-day cadence

YOU'RE A FIT IF YOU:

• Genuinely speak Japanese AND English
• Have a strong eye for pacing, timing, and clean edits
• Move fast and apply feedback without repeating the same mistakes
• Take ownership of the final video quality

THE PAID TEST:
A short paid demo edit. We give you the footage, a reference ad, and a script, and you deliver a polished edit. If it's strong and fast, we move into ongoing daily work.

TO APPLY, SEND:
1. 2-3 of your best video editing samples (links)
2. The editing software/tools you use
3. Your usual turnaround time for one short ad
4. Your REAL Japanese and English level
5. Answer this so we know you read the post: what's the first thing you check in a reference video before recreating it?
