Short Form Editor, Social Media Agency

Agency • Freelance

Jul 2026 - Present • 3 mos

Edited short-form video for multiple clients at once as part of an agency team, producing content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Took raw footage sent by clients often recorded directly on a phone and turned it into finished, ready to post videos with clean cuts, captions, and pacing adjustments. Also worked with longer client videos, identifying the strongest segments and cutting them into multiple standalone short-form pieces. Followed each client's specific style and editing guidelines rather than using one template across accounts, since different niches called for different pacing and tone. Delivered a set volume of edited videos on a weekly schedule and kept turnaround times consistent even when working across several clients simultaneously. Used Adobe Premiere Pro and CapCut day to day, with occasional light graphic work in Canva for on screen text and thumbnails. This experience built a habit of working independently from a brief without needing every decision reviewed first, since agency clients expected finished, publish-ready work rather than drafts.

Podcast & Talking Head Clipper

Consultants • Freelance

May 2026 - Jul 2026 • 2 mos

Reviewed full length podcast and talking-head recordings, typically 20 to 30 minutes long, and identified the segments most likely to work as short clips for TikTok and Instagram. Cut four to five clips from each source recording, focusing on moments with a clear hook and a natural stopping point rather than arbitrary time slices. Edited each clip with a strong opening line, captions, and a simple, clean style that kept attention on the speaker rather than adding unnecessary effects. Worked without provided timestamps, which meant listening through full conversations and making judgment calls on what buyers or viewers would actually stop scrolling for. Delivered a consistent monthly volume of clips from a fixed number of source recordings, keeping pacing and tone consistent across all of them. This work required understanding what makes a spoken word clip land timing the cut so it doesn't lose the point of the moment being highlighted more than heavy editing or visual effects.

YouTube Shorts Clipper & Optimization

Agency

May 2026 - Jun 2026 • 1 mo

Took long form YouTube videos provided weekly and clipped them into multiple Shorts, posted on a fixed daily schedule. Beyond editing, handled basic optimization for each Short, writing titles, descriptions, and tags aimed at search visibility rather than just posting clips with no context. Kept uploads organized in shared folders by month and week so source footage and finished Shorts stayed easy to track. Ran simple performance checks on which Shorts got more views or watch time and adjusted future clipping choices based on that. Learned the basics of tools like vidIQ for keyword research on top of the editing work itself. This role combined hands on video editing with a lighter layer of channel strategy, which meant thinking about search and discovery, not just how a clip looked.
