About Us

Brand strategy PR and storytelling firm. We work with high-end wellness clients (doctors longevity specialists founders) on visibility and positioning.

Editing is the bottleneck. We are producing more raw footage than she can post. We need editors who can take long-form interview material and turn it into a steady output of polished short-form and long-form content fast and clean without supervision.

What youll actually do

Youll receive raw interview and lifestyle footage usually 4K often 1 to 3 hours per file and turn it into ready-to-post deliverables.

Every cut needs:

• Captions on every video 100% of the time. Captions must be video-rendered (burned in or styled in editor) not still graphics dropped over video. No exceptions.
• B-roll video-based not still images. High-quality visually clean on-brand.
• Subtle motion graphics where they elevate the cut (lower thirds text reveals transitions). Restrained not flashy.
• Polished cut style. Clean click-style transitions tight pacing no jarring cuts. Think mid-tier YouTube interview channels not viral TikTok jump-cut chaos.
• Color and audio at a baseline level. Levels matched no clipping no muddy audio.

Format breakdown:

• Short-form under 3 minutes: portrait orientation (9:16). Posted to Instagram Reels TikTok YouTube Shorts Facebook.
• Long-form over 3 minutes: landscape orientation (16:9) only. YouTube rejects portrait above 3 minutes. Long-form lives on YouTube and sometimes Facebook.
• Thumbnails: required for YouTube uploads. Not required for other platforms. Time-consuming so well factor that into hours.

What you will NOT do:

• You will not post anything anywhere.
• You will not have access to Mirits Instagram TikTok Facebook YouTube LinkedIn or X. Weve had hack concerns and platform access stays with Mirit.
• You will not write captions or scripts. Youll receive them or pull them from the source footage.
• You will not manage a content calendar or scheduling tool.
• You will not shoot. This is post-production only.

Tools

Required:

• Premiere Pro or CapCut (working knowledge of at least one ideally both)
• A machine that can handle 4K source files comfortably

Bonus not required:

• After Effects (for motion graphics that go beyond CapCuts range)
• DaVinci Resolve (especially for color)

Were not asking you to shoot a movie. The bar is clean fast consistent. Speed and reliability matter more than fancy effects.

Volume and cadence:

• 3 days per week minimum of active editing.
• 1 to 3 finished pieces per day is the realistic baseline.
• Up to 10 per day on heavy interview-drop weeks.
• Well need multiple editors at any given time to handle volume and avoid bottlenecks. This is not a solo gig.

File handling:

• Source files are typically 4K and often hours long.
• You need reliable upload/download bandwidth and enough local storage to handle multi-GB transfers.
• Files will be shared via Google Drive or similar.
• Deliver in the formats specified per platform (well provide a quick spec sheet on first job).

Who fits

• Strong instinct for short-form. You watch it you make it you understand what holds attention in the first 2 seconds.
• Comfortable with high volume. You can produce 5 to 10 short-form cuts in a day without quality dropping.
• Reliable. You hit deadlines. You dont disappear for 3 days mid-project.
• Self-directed. You can take an interview and find the highlight moments without being told which timestamps to cut.
• Detail-oriented on captions audio levels and brand consistency.
• Doesnt need to be a senior editor. Skill with shorts and a clean style matters more than years of experience.

Who doesnt fit

• Editors who need every cut specd out frame-by-frame.
• Editors whose default style is loud gimmicky jump-cut-heavy. Wrong brand fit.
• People who cant handle 4K source files on their machine.
• Anyone expecting to shoot write or be involved in strategy. This is editing only.
