UGC Video Editor — CapCut/Premiere (Growth Into Full-Time)

I'm a UGC content creator producing short-form video ads for apparel, wellness, and supplement brands that run on Meta and TikTok. I'm looking for a video editor who understands UGC-style editing specifically — fast-paced, caption-heavy, native-feeling short-form content, not traditional or corporate video editing.

You'll take raw clips I film (talking-to-camera segments, product demos, b-roll) and turn them into finished, publish-ready ads: trimmed, captioned, paced, and structured to hook viewer attention immediately and hold it through the call-to-action.

This is starting as a part ---------- -based role. As I take on more brand partnerships, the workload will grow steadily, and I'm looking for someone who wants to grow into a long-term, full-time position as that happens. I'm not looking to cycle through different editors project to project — I want to build a consistent working relationship with the right person.

Responsibilities:

• Edit raw video clips into polished 15-60 second vertical ads (9:16) from a provided script and shot list
• Add clean, properly timed captions (not just raw auto-captions)
• Cut for fast pacing — tight jump cuts, no dead air, hook-first structure
• Add text overlays and simple motion graphics
• Use green screen / background replacement when needed
• Match tone and pacing to each brand's specific creative brief
• Turn around revisions quickly
• Communicate clearly and proactively — I'll send raw footage folders and need someone who can work independently from a brief

Requirements:

• Strong experience with CapCut and/or Premiere Pro/Final Cut
• Portfolio specifically showing UGC or short-form ad editing (not just general video editing — this is the most important requirement)
• Caption styling and timing experience
• Green screen/chroma key experience
• Reliable internet and consistent availability
• Strong written English communication
• Able to hit fast turnaround times

Pay: Will start at $4 per video (as volume, performance, and time progresses, open to looking into other options)
