Ecom video editor

I run a dropshipping business and I'm constantly testing new products — roughly 2 per week. Each product needs 5–10 videos, so there is a high and consistent volume of work for the right person. The products are usually small items varying from toys, gadgets, health and beauty devices, general household items, bathroom/kitchen gadgets/devices, small outdoor devices, etc.

Target audience is primarily USA, thus you will need to have a very good understanding of American English.

Video lengths vary widely. When starting off testing a product I am using only 3–7 min VSLs. Sometimes a few short form UGC style videos.

If there is success with a particular product that has been tested, we will be moving onto the second stage which is scaling the product. This will require extra video adverts being produced, which includes:

Making a wide variety of content styles: UGC, short form, long form, etc.
Producing video ads with new angles
Re-editing already existing video to produce the same VSL just with different hooks, or perhaps changing certain parts of the video to target other audiences.

Most importantly I am looking for:

- Creativity, especially for the opening hook: Looking for a creative who can concept pattern-interrupt video hooks — pairing unexpected visuals with emotionally charged headlines to stop cold traffic dead. To apply, send me 3 hook concepts (headline + visual) for a luck and fortune bracelet. The bracelet is sold to older Americans who feel like their luck has run out and are looking for something to change their fortune. I'm looking for ideas that have nothing to do with bracelets but everything to do with how the audience feels.

- Attention to detail: Read the full script before you start editing. If the script says "I woke up gasping for air" — find a clip of someone waking up gasping. If it says "my doctor told me my X-rays were normal" — find a doctor's office clip. The footage should match what is being said at that exact ---------- nt. Not random b-roll thrown over a voiceover. If you watch the finished video and the clips make logical sense with the words — you've done it right.

- Proactivity: I am not looking for someone who waits to be told what to do. If you notice the pacing is off, fix it. If you think a different clip would work better, use it and tell me why. If you have an idea for a stronger hook than the one in the script, pitch it. I want someone who treats the video like its their own project, not a checklist.

- Personality: I'm not looking for safe videos, or boring ones. The right video editor is someone who sees a product that helps people sleep better and immediately thinks — what if we show a car crash. I want ideas that make normal people uncomfortable but make the right people laugh and say "that's genius." If you always colour inside the lines, this is not the job for you.

What I'll provide:

Written script
All product media (photos, video, animated assets)
Website link for full product context
Note: I do not provide talking head footage or AI-generated voiceovers. You'll need to source or create these yourself.

What you'll be doing:

Really understand the product — not just cut to the script, but think creatively about which visuals, clips, and angles will make someone stop scrolling
Create high-quality, scroll-stopping opening clips — the hook is everything
Source or generate talking head characters with accurate lip sync — this is a hard requirement
Use AI-generated content where it makes sense and adds quality — you have full creative freedom here
Occasionally: take a competitor-style video with a new script and fully remake it with fresh visuals and a slightly modified angle
You must be able to:

Produce accurate lip sync
Work with UGC, talking head and hybrid formats
Source or generate voiceovers
Use AI tools confidently
Handle fast turnaround at volume
Think like a marketer, not just an editor

SALARY

If you're genuinely good and we work well together, I will pay you properly — and in the long run there is very good earning potential here given the volume of work. But I'm not putting someone on a full monthly salary when I don't yet know what they can do. We'll start with a fixed payment for a small batch of videos — say 5 for one product. If the work is strong and we both want to continue, we move to a monthly arrangement and negotiate from there based on quality, volume and turnaround time.

Please do not send me:
Canva CVs, resumes, or AI generated job applications and messages. I am not interested.

Please send me your Google Drive link with your previous VSL work.
