What are the responsibilities and job description for the Video Editor position at Confidential?
About the Job
We’re looking for a Social Video Editor / Motion Graphics Artist who lives inside a timeline, knows a great hook when they see one, and thrives on the challenge of making content that stops the scroll.
If you’re passionate about short-form social content, have a sharp eye for pacing, and believe that testing variations is just as important as the edit itself—keep reading.
What You’ll Do:
- Edit and deliver high-quality short-form social videos at speed—because testing content means producing options, not just one cut
- Create multiple variations of edits (different hooks, pacing, lengths) to support performance testing and internal creative reviews
- Develop motion graphics that elevate content and feel native to the platform—not like a slideshow
- Mix music, add sound effects, and handle audio in a way that makes people want to keep watching
- Apply color correction and grading to ensure visual consistency and quality across deliverables
- Support our photography and videography team by editing the content they capture—social posts, brand content, and beyond
- Assist with ad production and web video projects as brand needs arise
- Format and optimize content for every platform and aspect ratio—Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and wherever else we show up
- Stay current on trends and platform behavior so our content always feels timely and relevant
- Juggle multiple projects and deadlines without losing quality or momentum
What You Bring:
- 1–3 years of video editing experience, with a strong focus on social and short-form content
- Solid skills in Adobe After Effects and the broader Adobe suite (Premiere Pro, Audition, etc.)
- A real understanding of what makes social content perform—hooks, pacing, variation—and how to test it
- Experience with music mixing and sound design: you know how audio shapes a viewer’s experience
- Working knowledge of color correction and grading
- Comfortable taking a project from raw footage to final deliverable independently
- Strong attention to detail—one frame off is still off
- Good communicator who can take direction and give clear creative feedback
- Experience creating content for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and similar platforms
- Comfortable collaborating across teams—whether that’s photo/video, brand, or 3D
