About the Role
This is an internal role at Donna, not a client role.
We're producing a professional masterclass video series for our clients: a polished, premium course of 20-30 talking-head videos (3-7 minutes each). We're looking for a skilled video editor to take our raw footage through to finished, client-ready videos: editing, color grading, titles, and light motion graphics.
This is posted as a project-based engagement covering the full course. We expect ongoing content work to follow and intend to grow this into a permanent position for the right person. We're looking for someone we can build a long-term working relationship with.
What You’ll be Doing
- Editing single-camera talking-head footage into clean, engaging, professionally paced videos
- Color grading from C-Log 3 (Canon) footage to a consistent, premium look across the series
- Building and applying titles, lower-thirds, and on-screen text
- Light motion graphics where needed (animated text/graphics)
- Syncing and mixing scripted dialogue audio; cleaning up flubs, retakes, and dead air
- Following our scripts to catch deviations, repeated takes, and mistakes, and assembling the intended final cut
- Adding music and captions/subtitles
- Working to an established style template: we'll provide a brand kit (logo, colors, etc.) and reference videos showing the look and style we're after. You'll create the LUT, lower-thirds, titles, and graphics assets from our brand kit on the first video, which we'll approve and lock as the template for the rest of the series.
Job Details
- Project-based for the masterclass series, with ongoing/permanent work expected for the right fit
- Turnaround: batches of ~5 videos within ~2 weeks
- Availability: several hours of overlap with North American Eastern Time (9-5 ET) business hours at least twice per week, for calls and feedback
- Remote; based in the Philippines
- Compensation represents the equivalent of approximately PHP 60,000-70,000/month for a full-time workload, with ongoing work to follow
- Please submit your rate proposal in PHP: structured however you think is appropriate (per video, per batch, monthly retainer, or project total), with your reasoning
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience editing talking-head / interview-style content
- Multicam editing experience. Our current shoot is single-camera, but multicam experience signals the editing maturity we want, and future work may involve multiple angles
- Strong color grading skills, specifically grading from Log footage. This is essential; please be ready to speak to your Log grading workflow
- Proficiency in at least one of Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro (tell us which you use)
- Ability to create titles, lower-thirds, and on-screen text
- English proficiency strong enough to follow scripted spoken content and catch script deviations, flubs, and repeated takes
- Reliable workflow for handling and transferring large 4K video files (we'll likely use Frame.io for review and feedback, and Frame.io or Google Drive for file transfer)
- Production consulting: Ability to advise on our filming setup, including lighting, camera angles, sound treatment, and workflow, before bulk filming begins (paid, in addition to editing)
Nice-to-Haves
- Light motion graphics / simple animation skills
- Experience with Frame.io
Benefits
- Remote; based in the Philippines
- Compensation represents the equivalent of approximately PHP 60,000-70,000/month for a full-time workload, with ongoing work to follow
