AI Video Editor — DTC Creative Ads (Realistic AI Generation)

The Role
We're a DTC brand that lives and dies by creative, and we're looking for an AI video editor who can generate highly realistic, believable AI video — not the uncanny, obviously-synthetic stuff, but footage and avatars that hold up as real ad creative in the feed. You'll turn prompts, product assets, and UGC into scroll-stopping ads for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, using AI generation to produce content that would be slow, expensive, or impossible to shoot.

This is a craft-plus-volume role. The bar is realism: if your AI-generated humans, environments, and product shots pass as authentic and convert like real footage, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Own
Generating photorealistic AI video — lifelike avatars/spokespeople, realistic environments, and product footage that reads as genuine, not synthetic.
Editing direct-response ad creative for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube — hooks, UGC-style edits, VSLs, listicles, and demos built to convert.
High-volume variant production — spinning winning concepts into many testable variations (hooks, avatars, scenes, captions, pacing, CTAs, aspect ratios).
Realism QA — catching and fixing the tells that break believability: warped hands, off lip-sync, unnatural motion, lighting mismatches, artifacting.
Format discipline — native 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 cuts optimized per placement.

What You Bring
A portfolio of highly realistic AI-generated video — this is the core requirement. Show us AI footage or avatars that are hard to clock as synthetic.
Deep, hands-on command of AI video generation tools — e.g., Kling, Seedance, Veo, HeyGen/Synthesia (realistic avatars), ElevenLabs (voice/lip-sync) — and the prompting and post skills to push each toward realism.
Strong editing and compositing fundamentals (Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci, CapCut) to grade, retime, clean up, and blend AI output into a seamless finished ad.
A real point of view on DTC / direct-response creative — hooks, retention, sound-off editing, and why the first 3 seconds matter.
Sharp eye for the details that separate believable AI from uncanny, plus speed and consistency at volume.

Nice to Have
Motion graphics/VFX and compositing chops, custom avatar or voice-clone creation, image-to-video and upscaling workflows (e.g., Topaz), familiarity with Meta/TikTok ad and AI-disclosure policies, and a sense for testing angles.

How to Apply
Send your portfolio with: your most realistic AI-generated clip (and how you made it), a DTC ad you edited that performed well, and a rough sense of how many ad variants you can turn around in a week.
