Video Editor for VSLs with ai

We're a direct-response digital marketing company looking for a skilled video editor who can produce high-converting Video Sales Letters (VSLs) using a mix of traditional editing and AI tools. You'll be turning scripts into engaging, retention-focused videos for our Facebook/Meta and YouTube ad campaigns.
This is not generic YouTube/vlog editing. We need someone who understands direct-response pacing, hooks, pattern interrupts, and how to keep viewers watching for 20+ minutes.

What You'll Do

Edit long-form VSLs (2–7 min) from provided scripts and voiceovers
Create short-form ad creatives (hooks, UGC-style, listicle/advertorial videos)
Source and integrate B-roll, stock footage, and motion graphics
Use AI tools (image gen, AI avatars/voice, auto-captioning, etc.) to speed up production
Add captions, text overlays, sound effects, and music to maximize retention
Implement pattern interrupts, zooms, and visual hooks every few seconds
Revise edits quickly based on feedback
Organize project files and manage assets


Requirements

2+ years editing experience (direct-response/VSL experience strongly preferred)
Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or CapCut, After Effects a plus
Experience with AI tools: ElevenLabs, Veo3 ,HeyGen/Synthesia, Midjourney/DALL·E, RunwayML, Descript, or similar
Strong understanding of pacing, retention, and direct-response storytelling
Ability to add captions/subtitles efficiently (auto + manual cleanup)
Good eye for sourcing relevant B-roll and stock footage
Fast turnaround and ability to handle high volume
Reliable internet, capable computer, and consistent availability


Nice to Have

Experience editing health/supplement, beauty, or info-product VSLs
Knowledge of Meta/Facebook ad compliance (avoiding flagged visuals/claims)
Motion graphics / animation skills
Experience with thumbnail and static ad creation
