Job Title: Short-Form Video Editor (India Only)

Source: reddit-r-forhire


About the Role

I am looking for a video editor based in India to help edit short-form talking-head content for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. This will be straightforward content for a digital marketing-focused channel. I will provide the raw vertical footage, a rough idea of the hook/topic, and any necessary references (such as photos).

Responsibilities

  • Clean cuts and removal of pauses/dead space.
  • Accurate, readable captions/subtitles.
  • Basic punch-ins/zooms, text callouts, simple transitions, and relevant light B-roll when it adds value.
  • Background music at a low level where appropriate.
  • 9:16 export, ready to post across Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.
  • Clean, modern editing—avoiding overdone effects or distracting edits.

Requirements

  • Location: Must be based in India.
  • Volume: Approximately 20–30 videos per month.
  • Turnaround: Ability to turn around an edit within 2–3 days.
  • Experience: Comfortable editing talking-head educational/business content.
  • Skills: Able to follow a reference style and take feedback.
  • Reliability: Consistent communication and reliability are prioritized over a large portfolio.

Compensation

  • Rate: ₹350–₹500 INR per short (depending on complexity).
  • Potential: At 20–30 videos per month, you can earn well over ₹10,000.
  • Terms: Ongoing work if we are a good fit.
  • Payment: Weekly payments via UPI, bank transfer, or PayPal.

How to Apply

Please send a DM with the following information:

  1. Two or three short-form edits you personally worked on.
  2. Your rate within the ₹350–₹500 range.
  3. Your usual turnaround time.
  4. The editing software you use.

Note: Please do not send a generic portfolio without highlighting the exact short-form videos you edited.
