Part-Time Video Editor – Property Videos, YouTube & Personal Branding

Part-Time Video Editor – Property Videos, YouTube & Personal Branding

We are a Singapore-based real estate team looking for a reliable video editor based in the Philippines for ongoing remote work.

You must have experience editing both short-form social media content and long-form YouTube videos.

Our content includes:

• Reels and shorts for Instagram, Facebook , TikTok and YouTube
• Property walkthroughs, property tips and on-camera presentations
• Personal branding and lifestyle videos, including family, travel and everyday experiences
• Short clips repurposed from existing home tours and other videos
• Property analysis and educational videos, sometimes up to 1 hour (in a later phase)

Most of the work will focus on property and business content, alongside personal videos for the founder's social media accounts. You should be comfortable adapting your editing style to suit property, educational and personal storytelling content.

How we work together:

We'll share the storyboard and key points for each video. We'd like you to bring the creative side: hooks, pacing, style, captions, music and transitions. If you enjoy suggesting ideas that make a video stop the scroll, you'll fit right in.

Your responsibilities:

• Turn raw footage into clear, engaging videos with good pacing and a logical flow
• Create strong hooks and openings that keep viewers watching
• Edit spoken dialogue smoothly, removing mistakes, unnecessary pauses and repetition
• Select property shots that help viewers understand the home and its features
• Repurpose existing home tours and other videos into engaging standalone short clips
• Shape family, travel and lifestyle footage into engaging stories
• Add supplied charts, screenshots and supporting visuals to help explain the discussion
• Keep longer property analysis videos interesting and easy to follow
• Clean up audio, balance speech and music, and correct colour
• Add accurate, readable captions, titles and simple graphics
• Export videos in the correct formats for each platform
• Keep footage and editable project files organised
• Follow feedback and meet agreed deadlines

What we're looking for:

• A portfolio showing both short-form and long-form editing
• Creative ideas for hooks, formats and repurposing content
• Ability to maintain pacing and viewer interest throughout longer videos
• Ability to work with both phone and camera footage
• Good English comprehension and ability to understand Singaporean accents
• Attention to detail with captions, property names, prices and figures
• Good judgement on shot selection, music and transitions
• Clear communication and reliable turnaround times
• A suitable computer, editing software and reliable internet for large video files

Experience with property, business or educational videos is a plus. Personal or lifestyle storytelling experience is also useful.

Working arrangement:

• Part-time, approximately 20 hours per week
• Remote, Philippines-based
• Flexible editing hours, with some availability during Singapore business hours for coordination
• Rate: PHP 230–260 per hour, depending on editing ability, portfolio and relevant experience. Estimated 20 hours per week (about PHP 19,900–22,500 per month). Extra hours only with prior approval.
• Ongoing work, with potential to grow into a full-time role as our content expands (including long-form YouTube), based on performance

To start, the focus is short videos (about 6–8 a week). Long-form will follow in a later phase. Property and personal videos will share the agreed weekly hours, and deadlines will be planned according to video length and complexity.

All raw footage, including personal and family clips, is confidential and can't be used in your portfolio without our permission.

How to apply:

Use the subject line:

Please send direct links to your most relevant work. We need to review both short-form and long-form samples before shortlisting.

Selection process:

• Portfolio review and a short interview
• A brief unpaid practice exercise limited to 20–30 minutes of work. This will be used for assessment only and will not be published or used in our marketing.
• Final shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a paid editing test using the same footage and brief. The fee and scope will be agreed before starting.
