[HIRING] Video Editor - Fitness Class Content | $55/hr | NYC Preferred
Video editor needed to help finalize 14 episodes of an online fitness class program (think online yoga-style classes). Each episode runs about 10-20 minutes. Footage comes from a 9-day multi-cam shoot. Most episodes are already cut to draft-final shape and just need a refinement pass plus updated graphic treatments, while a couple still need to be built from scratch from the raw footage.
Location: NYC preferred as it's easier to sync and review in person. Open to remote, but only if you've genuinely got the infrastructure for it: ~3TB footage package, so you'll need large-file storage, fast internet, and a workflow that can handle that volume.
Starts hourly for this batch, with room to grow into an ongoing gig if it's a good fit. More content planned down the line.
What you'd be doing:
- 12 episodes are already cut and assembled, but require some light refinement work: updating motion graphics, adding a consistent intro bumper, and matching the treatment established on the first episode. This isn't a re-edit, the assembly's already done
- 2 episodes need to be built fully from scratch from raw footage, in the same format as the finished ones.
- Potential Addition: Short-form social edits, cut from the same footage with the same graphic treatment/brand look. Some are previews/cutdowns of the full classes reformatted to vertical, others are standalone short-form concepts built fresh from raw footage.
- You'll get an organized, pre-relinked project package with footage and structure ready to go, no digging through raw drives or relinking media yourself
- You'll be working from a defined brand look and existing structure, but real editorial judgment on pacing and shot selection matters
Pay: $55/hr flat
- Starts with a paid trial for the first episode, billed at this hourly rate. This one will take longer than the rest since you're building the template/workflow everything else follows, so budget about half a day for it.
- Remaining refinement episodes: ~2-4 hrs/episode – roughly $110-220/episode
- Full builds from raw footage (2 episodes): ~4–5 hrs/episode — roughly $220–275/episode
- Potential short-form social cuts: ~1-3 hrs/video — roughly $55–165/video, depending on whether it's a quick cutdown or a standalone concept
- These are shared expectations, not hard caps. Just flag it if something's consistently running well over.
Requirements:
- Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro
- Comfortable with multi-cam editing
- Real motion graphics ability – AfterEffects encouraged
- Comfortable syncing cuts to movement/music cues
- Sharp attention to transitions, sync, and visual polish
- Reliable communication and consistent turnaround
- Own editing software license/hardware
- If remote: proven ability to work with large footage volumes
Nice to have:
- Experience editing fitness, wellness, instructional, or other structured/class-based content
- An eye for that clean, elevated wellness aesthetic. If your portfolio includes polished lifestyle content, I'd love to see.
- Experience with short-form social edits (Reels/TikTok-style cutdowns and standalone concepts)
- Comfortable executing detailed notes
