Remote Freelance Video Editor Short-Form Social

Job Position(s): Remote Freelance Video Editor Short-Form Social

Twine is hiring a Remote Freelance Video Editor for Short-Form Social, based out of Derby, England, UK. This role sits firmly in the post-production workflow for social media content, with the editor responsible for turning raw footage and written briefs into polished 15 to 60 second vertical videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and short-form digital ads. It suits an editor who knows the rhythm of social platforms and can work independently at a consistent monthly output without hand-holding.

About the Role

This is a part-time, ongoing freelance contract within a short-form content post pipeline, not episodic television or feature film production, so the work is fast-turnover and platform-specific. A typical month involves editing approximately 25 short-form videos, each requiring sharp pacing decisions, caption timing, and format awareness for vertical delivery. You will be working remotely from brief intake through final export, with minimal back-and-forth expected once your workflow is established.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit 15 to 60 second vertical videos from raw footage and creative briefs for Instagram Reels and TikTok, hitting a target of around 25 deliverables per month.
• Apply pacing, cut timing, and sound design choices suited to short-form social post-production workflow rather than long-form narrative structure.
• Interpret written briefs independently and translate them into finished edits without requiring extended revision cycles.
• Manage your own project files, export settings, and delivery specs to meet platform requirements for vertical format content.
• Maintain consistent output quality across a varied slate of short ad formats, adapting tone and style to different briefs within the same month.
• Communicate clearly in English throughout the editorial process, flagging issues with footage or brief clarity before they become revision problems.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience editing short-form social content, with a portfolio showing vertical video work for TikTok or Instagram Reels.
• Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve, with the ability to deliver finished content from any of these tools.
• A reliable remote work setup capable of handling regular file transfers and video exports without technical delays.
• Strong command of written and spoken English for brief interpretation and client communication.
• A working understanding of social platform specs, aspect ratios, and audience retention principles that inform editing decisions.

Why This Role

Twine offers genuine growth potential within the contract, meaning consistent performers are considered for expanded scope rather than cycled out. The volume of work, 25 videos per month, gives a freelance editor steady, repeatable income without committing to full-time hours. This Remote Freelance Video Editor for Short-Form Social role is a practical fit for someone building a sustainable freelance post-production career around social content.
