About the Role
We are looking for a skilled Long-Form Video Editor who can handle extended, narrative-driven video content (typically 20–60+ minutes). You will transform raw footage into polished, engaging long-form videos while also helping create short-form clips for social platforms.
Key Responsibilities

Edit long-form video content (documentary-style, educational, narrative, or story-driven formats) for platforms like YouTube and other video-first channels.
-
Structure and pace long videos to maintain viewer engagement, using clear storytelling beats and smooth transitions.
-
Sync multi-camera footage, B-roll, and supporting visuals to enhance the narrative.
-
Perform basic colour correction, audio balancing, and cleanup to ensure professional-quality
output.
-
Add graphics, lower-thirds, captions, and on-screen text where needed.
-
Export videos in correct formats, resolutions, and aspect ratios for each platform (horizontal,
vertical, square).
-
Collaborate with content creators or producers to align edits with the brand tone and creative
direction.
-
Suggest and implement creative ideas to improve retention (e.g., pacing, cutaways, subtle
motion graphics).
-
Maintain organized project files, backups, and naming conventions.
Required Skills & Experience
-
2+ years of experience editing long-form video content (documentary, educational, narrative, or similar formats).
-
Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve, depending on your stack).
-
Basic understanding of audio editing (removing noise, levelling levels, smoothing transitions).
-
Comfortable working with multi-camera setups and syncing audio/video.
-
Good sense of pacing, storytelling, and visual rhythm in long-form formats.
-
Ability to meet deadlines and handle multiple long-form projects per week.
-
Experience exporting for YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social platforms.
Nice-to-have:
-
Experience with After E_ects or motion-graphics tools for simple animations.
-
Experience creating short-form clips (Reels, Shorts, TikTok) from long-form episodes.
-
Familiarity with remote recording workflows and handling varied source quality.
What We Expect From You
-
You understand long-form storytelling and know how to keep viewers engaged in 20–60+ minute videos.
-
You can work independently with minimal hand-holding but are open to feedback.
-
You are organized, detail-oriented, and deliver clean, consistent edits.
-
You are comfortable with iterative feedback and quick turnaround times.
