**About the Role**
The Short-Form Video Editor will be responsible for turning raw footage into polished, platform-ready short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
You will review raw footage, identify strong content moments, edit videos in Adobe Premiere Pro, improve pacing, strengthen hooks, clean up captions, adjust framing, balance audio, add music when appropriate, export final videos, and upload them for internal review.
Most videos will be built from athlete interviews, training footage, podcasts, educational content, behind-the-scenes footage, and talking-head content. The goal is to create videos that are clear, engaging, fast-paced, emotionally or intellectually interesting, and ready to post.
You will not be expected to post content immediately at the beginning, but over time there may be opportunities to assist with uploading, scheduling, captions, hashtags, and platform-specific posting.
**What Youโll Be Doing**
As a Short-Form Video Editor, you will:
* Review raw footage from [Frame.io](http://Frame.io), Dropbox, Google Drive, or other client folders.
* Identify strong short-form clip opportunities from longer videos.
* Follow content briefings for scripted content
* Cut dead space, filler words, awkward pauses, and low-energy moments.
* Understand how to create a hook that sticks with viewers and holds attention
* Format videos with clean framing, readable captions, audio improvements, music additions, and proper subject positioning.
* Export videos using the proper settings and naming conventions.
* Upload finished edits for internal review.
* Apply feedback quickly and make revisions based on timestamped notes.
* Maintain the LVN standard across all videos.
**What Weโre Looking For**
We are looking for someone who is detail-oriented, coachable, creative, and highly skilled at editing short-form content.
You should be able to take feedback without being defensive and improve quickly. This role will involve more creative direction at first. Over time, the goal is for you to understand the LVN style well enough that fewer revisions are needed.
You should have a strong sense of pacing, hooks, captions, clip selection, and social media retention. You do not need to be a famous editor or have a massive portfolio, but you do need to care deeply about making videos feel sharp, clean, and intentional.
**Required Skills**
* Strong experience with Adobe Premiere Pro.
* Experience editing vertical short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts.
* Strong understanding of pacing and retention.
* Ability to cut dead space and filler without making the video feel unnatural.
* Ability to create clean, accurate captions.
* Ability to choose strong hook moments.
* Ability to follow detailed SOPs and client-specific instructions.
* Comfort working with [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) or willingness to learn quickly.
* Strong attention to detail.
* Reliable communication.
* Ability to meet deadlines.
* Ability to receive and apply feedback quickly.
**Preferred Skills**
* Experience editing sports content.
* Experience editing athlete content, training content, podcasts, interviews, or educational videos.
* Understanding of Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
* Basic understanding of social media storytelling.
* Understanding of how to utilize visual and text hooks to capture attention.
* Ability to select music that supports the emotion of a video.
* Comfort working with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Frame.io.
* Experience working with agencies, creators, athletes, coaches, or personal brands.
**What Makes Someone a Great Fit**
You may be a great fit if you:
* Watch short-form content and naturally notice why some videos hold attention and others do not.
* Understand that a strong video starts with the right clip selection.
* Care about small details like caption timing, audio levels, framing, and cover frames.
* Can work quickly without being sloppy.
* Like sports, athletes, fitness, training, storytelling, or creator content.
* Want to grow with a company instead of just completing one-off edits.
**What This Role Is Not**
* This is not a role for someone who only wants to follow basic instructions without thinking.
* This is not a role for someone who is uncomfortable making creative decisions within a clear system.
* This is not a role for someone who ignores captions, timing, audio, pacing, or framing details.
* This is not a role for someone who treats revisions as the main quality control step instead of doing a careful first pass.
* This is not a role for someone who cannot handle feedback.
**Software and Tools**
This role may involve working with:
* Adobe Premiere Pro
* [Frame.io](http://Frame.io)
* Slack
* Google Drive
* Dropbox
* Instagram
* TikTok
* YouTube Shorts
LVNโs current workflow uses Adobe Premiere Pro for editing, [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) for internal review and timestamped revision notes, Slack for team communication, and Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts as the primary posting platforms.
**Schedule and Workload**
This role will begin part-time, approximately 15 to 25 hours per week.
The workload may increase over time based on performance, client volume, and fit with the team.
We are open to structuring the role hourly, per project, or per batch of videos depending on the candidateโs experience and working style.
**Compensation**
Compensation will depend on experience, speed, quality, and whether the role is structured hourly, per video, or per batch.
Potential structures include:
* Hourly part-time contractor rate
* Per-video rate
* Per-batch rate
* Contract-to-hire part-time role
Selected applicants will complete a paid test edit before moving forward.
($30 HOURLY)
**Benefits**
This is a part-time contract-to-hire role and does not include traditional employee benefits at this stage. However, there is room for the right person to grow with LVN as we build our team and expand the company.
**Trial Project**
Selected applicants will be asked to complete a paid test edit.
For the test edit, we will provide:
* A raw footage file
* An example of the LVN editing style
* A section of our editing SOP
* Clear export instructions
* A deadline
You will be asked to submit:
* One finished short-form video
* Your chosen hook text
* A brief explanation of why you selected that clip and the creative decisions behind your editing choices
* Any notes or questions from the edit
The paid test project helps us evaluate editing ability, creative judgment, attention to detail, and how well you follow the LVN process.
**Final Note**
LVN is building a high-standard team. We care about speed, but we care more about judgment, taste, and consistency. We also want a person that is not only going to be exceptional at what they do, but exceptional as a person.
