Video Editor

About Tend Productions:

Tend Productions is a video production company based in Austin, Texas. We produce content for a diverse roster of clients across industries including combat sports, food and restaurant, real estate, CPG brands, and more. Our work spans short-form social content, branded commercial videos, cinematic food and lifestyle content, and paid ad creative.
We’re looking for a talented video editor to join us on a part-time basis and grow with the company. This is not a one-off gig — it’s an opportunity to become an integral part of a small, fast-moving production team where your work directly impacts the brand and bottom line for real clients.

What You’ll Do:

- Edit raw footage (sometimes SLOG3) into polished final deliverables based on detailed creative briefs
- Create short-form social content (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts) optimized for engagement and platform best practices
- Edit listing videos, branded content, cinematic food videos, and personality-driven content across multiple clients
- Color correct and grade footage to match each client’s brand standards
- Mix audio, add music, and incorporate sound design to elevate edits
- Create and apply text overlays and motion graphics
- Reformat and repurpose long-form content into multiple platform-specific cuts (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5)
- Manage and organize project files in shared cloud storage (Google Drive)
- Communicate proactively on timelines, questions, and revision status

Who You Are:

Required
- Fluent in English — written and spoken. You’ll be on weekly video calls and communicating semi-daily via messaging
- Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
- 2+ years of professional video editing experience with a portfolio or reel you can share
- Ability to edit for multiple different brands
- Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, and what makes short-form content perform on social platforms
- Solid color correction and audio mixing skills
- Reliable high-speed internet and your own editing workstation capable of handling 4K footage
- Available for a weekly sync call during U.S. Central Time business hours (flexible on exact time)
- Self-motivated and organized — you can manage your own schedule and meet deadlines without being micromanaged

Nice to Have:

- After Effects skills for motion graphics, transitions, and animated text
- Experience editing food/restaurant content, real estate listing videos, or combat sports highlights
- Familiarity with social media trends, hooks, and platform-specific best practices (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts)
- Experience working with creative briefs and feedback/revision workflows
- Basic sound design and SFX skills
