Senior Short Form Video Editor

As a Senior Short-Form Video Editor at our company, your role will involve turning raw footage into visually powerful stories by creating 860 second edits for campaigns, reels, and social content. You will need to have an exceptional eye for pacing, lighting, stabilisation, and rhythm, blending cinematic storytelling with digital precision. This position is perfect for editors who approach their work like cinematographers, crafting frames that feel alive rather than just cutting footage. Key Responsibilities: - Edit short-form content such as ads, reels, teaser videos, and social campaigns with a high-end cinematic touch. - Utilize advanced techniques like stabilisation, beat-syncing, slow motion, and dynamic lighting corrections to enhance the visual impact. - Sync music and sound design effectively to create rhythm-based storytelling that resonates with the audience. - Collaborate closely with creative teams to ensure visual mood, pacing, and color direction align with the overall vision. - Select only the most cinematic shots, ensuring that each frame contributes to the storytelling. - Ensure that final renders meet broadcast and social platform standards, including aspect ratios of 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1. Qualifications Required: - Minimum of 2 years of professional experience in short-form video editing. - Expertise in editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve (preferred), or Final Cut Pro. - Strong understanding of stabilisation, lighting, reflections, and visual balance to create visually appealing edits. - Familiarity with cinematography principles including composition, framing, and exposure. - Strong sense of timing, beat matching, and visual rhythm to enhance the narrative flow. - A showreel showcasing high-quality, stable, and visually clean edits that demonstrate your editing skills. Please note that a test assignment is mandatory for applicants, which involves creating an 820-second short edit using provided footage. Focus on stabilisation, shot selection, lighting and reflection balance, beat-cutting and music sync, as well as incorporating slow motion or motion control for impact. Quality is prioritized over length in this assignment.,
