The Offer

The Terms

What You Get

  • $250 USD per video. Flat rate for every finished, approved long-form video. Paid in dollars, every month.
  • Consistent volume. Between 4 and 8 videos a month, depending on how much you can take on. This is recurring work.
  • Fully remote and async. Work from wherever, on your own hours. We coordinate through Slack and ClickUp with clear deadlines.
  • Everything provided. Every video comes with a script, footage, style references and notes from our creative director. You just edit.
  • Real feedback. Our QC team reviews every cut and tells you exactly what to fix and why. You'll know the standard fast.
  • Room to grow. The editors who deliver get more videos, dedicated clients and better rates.

What You'll Be Editing

  • Long-form YouTube. Videos between 8 and 20 minutes for software companies. Tutorials, breakdowns, educational content.
  • Podcasts and interviews. Multicam conversations that live or die on rhythm.
  • Motion graphics. Product UI animation, zooms and highlights, built in After Effects.
  • English footage. Everything is recorded in English. You need to follow the argument to cut it well.

Don't Apply If You Don't Meet These

We're strict on purpose. We'd rather get a handful of applications from real editors than hundreds from people who cut clips. Read every line. If one of them doesn't describe you, this isn't your role.

  • You understand YouTube. You know why a viewer leaves at 0:40, and you think about retention every time you cut. You can tell a hook is weak before the analytics do.
  • You edit with music. You pick tracks that carry the emotion of the moment, and you know when to drop the music entirely because silence works better.
  • You build emotion. You can take flat talking-head footage and make someone feel something. If minute 12 of your edit feels the same as minute 2, you're not there yet.
  • You understand storytelling. Every video has a setup and a payoff. You cut to serve that arc, and you can explain the reasoning behind any edit you made.
  • You master pacing. You can feel when a video drags, and you know how to fix it.
  • You do real motion design. You animate in After Effects yourself. Anyone can drop in a template pack, and we will know the difference.
  • You understand spoken English. All the footage is in English. If you can't follow what's being said, you can't cut it well.
  • You deliver without being chased. A deadline here is a commitment. Miss one without warning and you're off the roster.

Every application gets checked against this list. If your portfolio doesn't show these skills, you'll get a rejection.

This Is NOT For You If

  • You want a fixed-schedule employee position.
  • Your portfolio is only short reels and TikToks.
  • You don't use After Effects, or you're "still learning it."
