Job Description

Overview

We are looking for a freelance video editor who can apply existing visual effects to video footage and generate clear before-and-after versions of each clip. The role focuses on applying preset effects or AI-based effects rather than creating complex visual effects from scratch.

Responsibilities
  • Apply existing visual effects, presets, or AI-generated effects to video footage
  • Produce two versions of each clip: original (before) and effect-applied (after)
  • Ensure effects are applied consistently across multiple clips
  • Export videos in required formats and resolutions
  • Organize output files clearly with structured naming and folders
Requirements
  • Experience with video editing or visual effects tools such as:
  • Adobe After Effects
  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • or similar video editing tools
  • Familiarity with AI-based video editing or visual effects tools
  • Ability to apply standard effects such as filters, lighting adjustments, compositing elements, or motion effects
  • Basic understanding of video timelines, rendering, and formats
  • Ability to process batches of clips efficiently
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working with film or professional video footage
  • Experience using AI tools for video effects or enhancement
  • Ability to process large volumes of clips while maintaining consistency
Deliverables
  • Original video (unchanged)
  • Video with applied effect
  • Clearly labeled files indicating before and after versions
