Podcast Video Editor for Shorts and Highlight Reels — CapCut and OpusClip

We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented video editor to join our podcast and media production team.

You will turn long-form podcast interviews into engaging vertical shorts and condensed highlight videos using OpusClip and CapCut.

This is not an advanced animation or cinematic-editing position. We need someone with strong judgment who can identify compelling moments, create accurate captions, follow our branding, and deliver organized files on time.

You will initially work on content for:

Interviews featuring CEOs, authors, speakers, consultants and experts

The right person can grow into a long-term position with additional hours and responsibilities.

OUR EDITING STYLE

Our audience includes business owners, authors, executives and professional experts. The videos should feel polished, credible and engaging.

A strong opening within the first three seconds

Clean, accurate captions

Professional pacing

Tasteful zooms and reframing

Selective emphasis of important words

Consistent branding

Clear storytelling

Professional closing screens and calls to action

HOURS AND COMPENSATION

Initial schedule: approximately 10–15 hours per week

First 30 days: $3 USD per hour

After successfully completing the 30-day introductory period: $4 USD per hour

Opportunity for additional hours as our production volume grows

Payments will be made according to an agreed schedule

The increase to $4 per hour will depend on:

Reliable attendance

Consistent communication

Meeting deadlines

Accurate captions

Correct branding

Proper file organization

Following instructions

Improving production speed

Producing strong clips without needing every timestamp supplied

PRODUCTION EXPECTATIONS

Training time will be provided during the first week.

Once trained, the general target is to complete a standard short-form package in approximately 60–90 minutes. A standard package will usually include:

Reviewing the OpusClip results

Selecting approximately three strong clips

Correcting captions

Applying our branding

Exporting and organizing the completed files

Some assignments may require a basic highlight video. More complicated assignments will be given an appropriate time allowance.

PAID EDITING TEST

Finalists will be invited to complete a small paid editing test using the same podcast footage.

The test will include:

Two vertical shorts

One short highlight video

Corrected captions

Proper branding and file names
