UGC Video Creator

Susan May • Freelance

Jul 2026 - Present • 3 mos

I create engaging UGC videos designed to help brands showcase their products and services in a natural, relatable, and conversion-focused way. My work combines AI-powered video creation with professional video editing to produce content that feels authentic rather than overly polished or obviously AI-generated. I create product demonstrations, testimonial-style videos, talking-head content, lifestyle UGC, AI UGC, social media advertisements, and short-form promotional videos for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other digital channels. I work from product images, scripts, references, brand guidelines, and creative concepts to develop videos that communicate the key selling points clearly within the first few seconds. I pay close attention to hooks, pacing, framing, facial expressions, lip synchronization, visual consistency, captions, and calls to action. When AI-generated characters or avatars are involved, I focus on maintaining consistent appearance, clothing, environment, and overall visual quality throughout the video. I also handle the editing process, including trimming unnecessary sections, adding captions and subtitles, improving pacing, incorporating transitions, sound effects, music where appropriate, and preparing videos in platform-specific formats. My goal is to create UGC content that stops the scroll, communicates the product benefit quickly, and gives brands reusable creative assets for their marketing campaigns.

Short-Form Video Editor

I specialize in editing short-form video content for social media creators, businesses, personal brands, and digital marketing campaigns. My work focuses on transforming raw footage, interviews, educational recordings, talking-head videos, and AI-generated clips into engaging content optimized for vertical viewing and platform-specific requirements. My editing workflow begins with reviewing the source material and identifying the strongest messages, useful visual moments, and opportunities to improve the opening hook. I organize footage, remove unnecessary pauses and repetitive sections, refine the sequence, and establish a natural rhythm that keeps the content clear and engaging. Where appropriate, I incorporate captions, strategic cuts, zooms, transitions, B-roll, and supporting visuals to reinforce the message. I use video editing tools such as CapCut and Adobe Premiere Pro to assemble footage, synchronize dialogue, improve pacing, and prepare exports. I pay attention to caption accuracy, readable text placement, subject framing, audio clarity, aspect ratio, and safe areas for mobile interfaces. My objective is to ensure that the main message remains easy to follow, including for viewers who watch videos without sound when captions are provided. I can work with educational content, personal-brand videos, product promotions, podcast clips, interviews, business updates, and creator-led social media content. For longer recordings, I identify potential highlight moments and reshape them into shorter standalone videos that preserve the original meaning while presenting the key idea more efficiently. My approach also considers content packaging and platform suitability. This includes opening with a relevant question, surprising statement, useful insight, or compelling visual when appropriate to the content. I adapt editing choices to the client's preferred tone, audience, and publishing strategy rather than applying the same editing style to every project.

Sizzle Reel Video Editor

Emotional Balance and Holistic Health Solutions • Self-employed

Jul 2026 - Aug 2026 • 1 mo

I specialize in creating high-impact sizzle reels that condense longer videos, events, interviews, campaigns, products, and brand stories into short, engaging visual experiences. A sizzle reel needs to communicate energy and value quickly, so I focus heavily on selecting the strongest moments, creating a compelling opening, maintaining fast but natural pacing, and building a clear visual flow from beginning to end. My editing process involves reviewing source footage, identifying standout moments, removing unnecessary pauses and repetition, arranging clips around a strong narrative, and using transitions, sound design, captions, motion graphics, and visual effects only when they improve the story. I can work with talking-head footage, podcast recordings, promotional videos, interviews, event footage, product content, and AI-generated assets. I also use AI tools to support the creative process where appropriate, including generating supporting visuals, enhancing concepts, creating B-roll ideas, and developing additional visual assets. I use professional editing workflows to ensure the final sizzle reel feels polished and intentional rather than simply being a collection of random clips. My focus is always on creating a reel that captures attention immediately, communicates the most important message efficiently, and leaves the viewer wanting to see more. The finished videos can be adapted for social media, websites, presentations, marketing campaigns, YouTube, and other digital platforms.
