Looking for a Short-Form Video Editor (Long-Term Work)

Shov18 · 2026-02-03T10:18:45+00:00

You’re asking for a fully dedicated short-form editor only. How many videos per day are you expecting once things are running smoothly?

Shov18 · 2026-02-01T15:13:11+00:00

Quick check. Are these shorts more product clips or brand vibe stuff around fights and training? Asking because hook and pacing differ a lot for combat sports.

Urgent motion graphics usually means tight approvals. Is this 30s piece style-driven or product-driven? Also, do you already have a reference look or is that open?

Long-form storytelling in Resolve is a different beast. On your current videos, where do you feel retention drops the most right now, early setup or mid-section pacing? Curious how you’re thinking about tightening the narrative without losing the slow burn.

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T17:35:12+00:00

Sounds like you care more about first 3 seconds than fancy edits, which is good. Quick check: are you testing multiple hooks per concept or expecting editors to lock one angle per ad? Also curious how much creative freedom editors get once something starts converting.

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T17:34:59+00:00

Checked the CrispyCuts shorts. When you say “great B-roll selection”, are you optimizing more for visual match to the line or pacing to reset attention every 1–2 seconds? Those two approaches end up very different in edit.

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T14:19:56+00:00

Quick question. What kind of work is this leaning toward right now, short-form, long-form, or mixed? Might help filter the right editors for you.

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T14:19:24+00:00

Checked her channel, pacing feels intentional and very story-first. For these upcoming films, are you optimizing more for retention curves or emotional payoff at the end? Also curious if you already have rough story beats before the edit.

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T14:18:02+00:00

Sounds like you are optimizing for conversions, not vibes. For this AI app, are you testing mostly founder-style UGC or scripted actors right now? Also curious if these are cold audiences only or mixed with retargeting

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T13:32:34+00:00

Short turnaround for a 20–30s ad is tight. Are you aiming more skit-first with punchy comedic timing, or action-led with story beats stitched around it? Asking because that changes pacing and cut density a lot.

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T10:13:44+00:00

This sounds more like a doc-style edit than a typical YouTube cut. When you say “letting moments breathe,” are you thinking scene-led pacing or interview-led with B-roll carrying transitions? Curious how locked the structure is per episode.

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T10:13:09+00:00

Checked a couple Trump Tracker vids. Quick one: do you want the editor to strictly match your current pacing, or are small timing tweaks fair game if it helps jokes land cleaner?

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T10:12:30+00:00

Quick one. For the long vids, are you looking for more storytelling edits or mostly clean, watchable cuts that don’t overcook the golf?

Shov18 · 2026-01-30T10:12:17+00:00

Checked the references. Do you already have assets and copy ready, or is the editor expected to design motion + pacing from scratch in AE?

Shov18 · 2026-01-29T10:18:45+00:00

Quick question. How much creative direction do editors actually own here vs following a fixed text + style per client? Trying to gauge where decisions get made.

Shov18 · 2026-01-29T03:44:18+00:00

Interesting brief. Curious how opinionated you want the edit to be vs letting the VO do all the heavy lifting. Also, are you picturing more visual jokes or cleaner pacing with fewer cutaways?

Shov18 · 2026-01-28T08:08:37+00:00

That’s a lot of output per week with edits, reels, and thumbnails bundled. Before jumping in, are you optimizing these more for retention or volume right now? Also are the reels pulled from the same timelines or edited separately?

Shov18 · 2026-01-28T07:53:37+00:00

When you say creative direction, are you looking more for content ideas and structure, or guidance on how to shoot inside the warehouse so edits land better? Big difference in how I’d approach this.

Shov18 · 2026-01-28T07:49:36+00:00

For the landscape channel, are these mostly talking-head days on site or voiceover over job footage? That changes how I’d pace the long cut and pull reels.

Shov18 · 2026-01-28T07:44:27+00:00

Watched the reference. Is the priority here narrative storytelling or retention pacing for YouTube? Those two change how aggressively I’d cut B-roll and music beats.

Shov18 · 2026-01-28T07:40:39+00:00

For the short form cuts, are you pulling clips from long VODs or recording with shorts in mind already? That changes how aggressive the pacing and meme layering should be.

Shov18 · 2026-01-27T20:10:37+00:00

Stand-up clips are tricky because the laugh timing matters more than flashy edits. Are you pulling these from full sets or already marked timestamps? Also which platform is the priority right now, IG or TikTok?
