VIDEO EDITOR – CINEMATIC REAL ESTATE, SOCIAL MEDIA & AI

ABOUT THE ROLE
For a busy Canadian real estate team producing cinematic property videos,
social media Reels, YouTube Shorts, podcasts, and business and branded content. We’re
looking for a talented, reliable video editor for a long-term, full-time (40 hours/week) remote
contractor role with flexible scheduling Monday through Saturday based on business needs.
This is not a basic cut-and-trim editing position. You must be able to create polished, cinematic
real estate videos AND modern, attention-grabbing social content. Strong technical editing
skills, creative judgment, and the ability to use AI video tools are essential.
WHAT YOU’LL EDIT

• Cinematic residential and luxury property tours, listing videos, and property highlight reels.
• Fast-paced Instagram Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and other vertical social content.
• Agent-led videos, educational content, team branding, promotional campaigns, and business

storytelling.

• Podcast episodes and engaging short clips repurposed from longer recordings.
• Multiple formats and versions for different platforms, including horizontal and vertical exports.

REQUIRED EDITING SKILLS

• Confidently build a story from raw footage, with strong shot selection, sequencing, rhythm, and

pacing.

• Advanced colour correction and cinematic grading, including LOG/HLG footage, consistent

white balance, and matching shots from different cameras.

• Smooth speed ramps, motion blur, creative transitions, masking, and movement-matched edits

that enhance the footage rather than distract from it.

• Music selection and precise beat syncing, layered sound effects, ambient audio, clean

dialogue, and professional sound design.

• Clean branded titles, lower thirds, captions, animated text, logos, property details, and tasteful

motion graphics.

• Confident editing of drone footage, interior/exterior footage, agent-on-camera content, and

mixed-source footage.

• Strong hooks, engaging captions, dynamic pacing, and a current understanding of short-form

social media trends.

• Efficient project organization, reliable turnaround times, and the ability to implement feedback

and revisions.
AI VIDEO & PROPERTY ENHANCEMENT — REQUIRED
You should already know how to use AI-assisted editing tools and be comfortable applying them
to real estate content, including:

• Realistic virtual staging and furniture placement in empty rooms.
• Day-to-night and twilight transformations for exterior property footage.
• Object removal, cleanup, and visual enhancements where appropriate.
• Sky replacements, lighting improvements, and other realistic environment enhancements.
• AI-assisted masking, tracking, rotoscoping, and workflow improvements.
• Maintaining realistic architecture, property features, proportions, and visual continuity. AI edits

must look professional and must not misleadingly alter material property characteristics.
Experience with tools such as Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Runway, or
comparable AI/VFX software is welcome. We care about your actual results, not just which tools
you use.
SOFTWARE
Final Cut Pro experience is preferred, but not required. Editors using Premiere Pro, DaVinci
Resolve, After Effects, or equivalent professional software are welcome if their work meets our
standards.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• A portfolio demonstrating BOTH cinematic real estate videos and trendy, engaging social

media edits.

• Strong creative instincts, attention to detail, and consistent visual quality.
• Someone who can work independently, follow brand guidelines, communicate clearly, and

meet deadlines.

• A proactive editor who keeps up with editing trends, AI tools, and new creative techniques.
• Someone interested in a dependable, long-term working relationship.

ROLE DETAILS

• Remote, independent contractor position.
• 40 hours per week, with a flexible schedule Monday through Saturday based on business

needs. Saturday availability is required when needed.

• Long-term opportunity
