ACTEL - Video Editor

Video Editor is needed in New York, United States.

Client: ACTEL

Location: New York, HI, us

Contract: Freelance

Job Description

This is a remote position.

We’re hiring a Video Editor to join Actel’s Design Studio. You’ll own the editorial backbone of our video production pipeline, turning raw footage into finished stories that build trust with professional audiences.

This role is focused and high taste. Our video producers handle pre-production, scripting, and recording. Our animator handles motion graphics and UI sequences. You own the edit: finding the story in messy raw material, shaping the narrative, setting pacing, and delivering a locked cut ready for animation. After animation is complete, the project comes back to you for color, audio, and final delivery.

We work in two lanes: Brand videos are high polish projects like product launches, customer stories, and keynotes. Growth videos move faster: YouTube content, educational tutorials, paid ads, and social campaigns. Your job is to recognize which lane you’re in and calibrate accordingly, without losing the standard.

We’re not trying to look “pretty.” We’re trying to look inevitable. Clear. Premium. Like a company you’d trust with serious money and serious attention.

Requirements

• Shape narratives from raw footage (interviews, host segments, product demos, screen recordings).
• Build structure, pacing, and emotional rhythm, not just “tight edits.”
• Deliver locked cuts with final timing and structure before animation begins.
• Coordinate handoffs with our animator to ensure smooth integration.
• Color grade in DaVinci Resolve to maintain a consistent, premium look across projects.
• Mix audio for platform-ready delivery (clean dialogue, balanced music, controlled dynamics).
• Manage project files with clear naming, version control, and clean handoffs.
• Finalize videos after animation and deliver exports across all channels.
• Create social media cutdowns from bigger projects (short clips, vertical versions, alternate hooks) to keep the marketing calendar full when we have momentum.

Types of Projects

• Customer stories: 60 to 90 second testimonials showing transformation and outcomes.
• Product launches: 3 to 5 minute feature announcements, deep dives, and releases.
• YouTube content: educational videos, thought leadership, and tutorials.
• Paid ads: performance-optimized creative for Meta, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
• Keynote presentations: high-stakes founder presentations and virtual productions.
• Brand videos: premium positioning pieces that elevate our market presence.

Benefits

• Work from home stipend.
• Health insurance.
• Paid time off.
• Parental leave.
• Sabbatical.
