UGC Video Editor

UGC Video Editor – Fast, Creative & TikTok-Savvy

I’m looking for a creative, fast, and reliable UGC video editor to help edit short-form content for TikTok, TikTok Shop, Instagram Reels, and other social platforms.

I create a high volume of UGC and product-focused content, so I need someone who understands that great short-form editing isn’t just about making a video look good — it’s about grabbing attention quickly, keeping viewers watching, and making the content feel natural and native to social media.

What I’m Looking For

You should be able to:

• Edit 15–60 second vertical UGC videos
• Create strong, attention-grabbing openings within the first 1–3 seconds
• Add engaging captions, text overlays, transitions, zooms, cuts, B-roll, sound effects, and other pattern interrupts when appropriate
• Understand TikTok/TikTok Shop pacing and editing styles
• Turn raw footage into polished content that still feels authentic and not overly produced
• Edit product demonstrations, testimonials, storytelling videos, GRWM-style content, car chats, lifestyle videos, and direct-response product videos
• Follow a script or creative brief while also bringing your own creative ideas
• Understand hooks, mid-video re-hooks, retention editing, CTAs, urgency, and natural product placement
• Keep videos formatted correctly for 9:16 vertical content
• Deliver clean, organized files without unnecessary back-and-forth

FAST TURNAROUND IS IMPORTANT

I’m specifically looking for someone who can work quickly.

Ideally, I would like most edits returned within 24–48 hours, depending on the project and number of videos.

There will be opportunities for consistent ongoing work for the right editor. I’m looking for someone I can build a workflow with—not just someone for a single project.

You’re Probably a Great Fit If…

You’re creative enough to take basic footage and think:

“How can I make someone stop scrolling and keep watching this?”

You stay current with TikTok and Reels editing trends, understand what UGC should feel like, communicate well, meet deadlines, and don’t need every single cut spelled out for you.

I LOVE an editor who can take direction but also say, “I have an idea that could make this video better.”

When Applying

Please send:

1. Examples of UGC, TikTok, TikTok Shop, or Reels you've edited

BONUS: If you have experience editing high-converting TikTok Shop/product videos, please specifically point those examples out.

I’m looking for someone who is creative, dependable, fast, understands social media, and wants consistent work.
