Video Editor is needed in United States.

Client: Just Dream

Location: United States

Contract: undefined

Job Description

We’re a Colorado-based content strategy team looking for a freelance editor who’s not just cutting clips but crafting visually compelling narratives. Strong Premiere Pro chops are a must (After Effects is a killer bonus), and you need to handle fast-paced edits and high-touch corporate content. This is a collaborative role under the Just Dream umbrella, where you will receive clear briefs, selects, and notes, then bring the edit to life with strong pacing, polish, and storytelling instincts.

Each assignment is quoted as a flat project fee based on scope, complexity, deliverables, and timeline, expecting anywhere from 5–20 hours per assignment. Flexible scheduling is accommodated, but adherence to deadlines is critical.

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro (non-negotiable)
• Strong grasp of pacing, rhythm, and storytelling
• A clean, organized portfolio that shows both creativity and attention to detail (required)
• Ability to accept feedback and iterate
• Understanding of pacing, music-driven edits, and clean transitions
• Basic audio cleanup and mix (clean dialogue, level balancing, music ducking)
• Basic color correction (balance and consistency across shots)
• Portfolio or reels (must be attached)

Preferred:

• After Effects (motion graphics basics)
• Experience with corporate narrative editing
• Color grading (look development beyond basic correction)
• Sound design polish (SFX, ambience, transitions)
• Experience editing corporate content, promo reels, or brand films (preferred)

Responsibilities

• Edit and assemble footage into polished, impactful videos that align with client goals.
• Collaborate directly with team members to understand objectives, tone, timelines, and deliverables.
• Elevate the story through pacing, rhythm, and clean execution.
• Execute smooth, intentional edits with various cutting styles and pacing that support the story.
• Incorporate motion graphics, text overlays, and light visual effects to enhance clarity.
• Maintain organized project files and meet deadlines consistently.
• Stay current with editing trends, especially those relevant to social media and corporate branding.

Application Process

To apply, submit a short introduction and relevant portfolio link. You’ll need to provide recent examples of similar work, outline your typical turnaround time for a polished edit, and confirm comfort using pre-built transitions/templates when necessary. Start your message with the word “JUNIPER” to demonstrate attention to detail.

Pay and Benefits

Compensation ranges from $30.00 to $50.00 per hour based on project specifics. The role offers a flexible schedule, and this is a contract position.

Work Location

This is a remote position. All applicants are required to reside in Colorado and be able to work Mountain Time hours, ensuring overlap with the team’s schedule.
