We’re looking for freelance social video editors, with experience in editing for: Snapchat Discover, Tik Tok & Youtube - to join KNGDM Entertainment, a growing start-up pop culture channel producing scripted, presenter-led videos for YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat.

Each project consists of one presenter-led episode delivered in two formats: a vertical version for TikTok/Snapchat and a horizontal version for YouTube. The total payment per project is £70, covering both versions.

This is a great opportunity for editors who have a

• Native, or professional level understanding of English to handle subtitling for a range of accents
• Strengths in Premiere Pro to bring otherwise mundane edits to life
• Creatives, passionate about making fast-paced, engaging edits that follow a clear narrative structure.

Most importantly, a love and strong ability to recall moments from: TV, Film & Pop Culture!

What you'll be editing:

• Videos between 8–12 minutes, based on a single presenter rush & clips from film, tv & interviews
• 2-5 edits per week, depending on editor skill level
• Cuts guided by a detailed script with clip references
• Opportunity to source additional footage to bring each story to life
• Final video aligned with our established house style — thoughtful pacing, subtitles, and b-roll
• 1x vertical video (1920x1080) with subtitles for TikTok/Snapchat
• 1x horizontal version (1920x1080) without subtitles for YouTube
• All working project files (Premiere Pro, After Effects if applicable)
• Turnaround: 2 working days from receiving materials

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience using Adobe Premiere Pro
• 3+ years editing long-form YouTube videos
• 3+ years editing creatively for social platforms
• Strong English comprehension and storytelling instincts
• Excellent pacing, humour, and visual communication
• Comfortable working remotely with reliable, consistent delivery
• Note: If you are in full-time work or education, this role may not be suitable; we move quickly with trending stories

Revisions:

• Unlimited technical revisions (e.g., spelling, rendering, export issues)
• Up to 2 rounds of creative revisions (e.g., pacing, flow, clip choices)

Each completed set counts as one paid video. As a start-up, we're scaling fast and looking for editors who want to grow with us and help shape a new voice in pop culture storytelling for the digital generation.

If interested, a cover letter goes a long way & even better if they have links to relevant content.
