Video Editor Wanted (DaVinci Resolve) – Perth – $30–$40/hr Ongoing

Kian is hiring a Video Editor with DaVinci Resolve experience for ongoing contract work based in Perth, Western Australia. This role sits squarely in post-production, covering the full offline and online edit pipeline across corporate video, brand storytelling, event coverage, and short-form social content, with feature film projects coming down the line. It suits an editor who is comfortable working independently in a structured post-production workflow and wants consistent, paid work with a clear path toward something more permanent.

About the Role

You will be editing for a corporate video and storytelling company whose production slate spans brand films, filmed interviews shot in 4K 10-bit Sony, DJI drone footage acquired in D-Log, highlight reels, and social cuts. Day to day, that means ingesting and organising media, pulling selects from interview rushes, building sequences with real attention to pacing and story, and delivering colour-corrected and graded cuts ready for client review. The team is small and organised, with proper briefs and feedback structure in place so you can focus on the edit rather than chasing assets.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit corporate and brand video projects from assembly through to final delivery inside DaVinci Resolve.
• Colour correct and grade Sony 10-bit and DJI D-Log footage to a broadcast-ready or client-approved standard.
• Cut filmed interviews with a strong instinct for story structure and clean pacing across long and short-form formats.
• Handle basic motion graphics and titling within the post-production workflow to a professional finish.
• Manage audio fundamentals including dialogue clean-up, level balancing, and sync across all deliverables.
• Meet project deadlines consistently and flag issues early to keep the production schedule on track.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated proficiency in DaVinci Resolve covering editing, colour correction, and colour grading.
• Hands-on experience cutting corporate video, brand content, or event coverage at a professional level.
• A showreel or portfolio of recent editing work that reflects your sense of pacing and visual story.
• Solid understanding of 10-bit log footage workflows, specifically Sony and DJI D-Log acquisition formats.
• Reliable communication habits and the ability to work to deadlines with minimal supervision.

Why This Role

Kian offers a starting rate of $30 to $40 AUD per hour based on skill level, with performance-based bonuses and genuine wage growth tied to output, not tenure. The contract is ongoing from the outset, with a real path to part-time or full-time work later this year for the right person. Perth-based editors also get the option to join the crew on set, which is not something most post-production contracts offer.
