Video Editor + AI Creator for Meta Ads (HeyGen, CapCut, Spanish ES + MX)

Hi! I'm looking for a part-time Video Editor who can also create AI-powered content (avatars, animations, AI visuals) for Facebook & Instagram ads in SPANISH - both Castilian Spanish (Spain) and Mexican Spanish.

IMPORTANT: All videos will be in Spanish. We produce for TWO markets:
- Spain -> Castilian Spanish (NOT Latin American)
- Mexico -> Mexican Spanish

You don't need to speak Spanish, but you must be comfortable working with Spanish scripts, subtitles, and voiceovers in both variants. Attention to detail with Spanish text is critical - we never mix the two markets and we never deliver work with typos or wrong accents.

This is NOT a generic video editing job. I need someone who understands that ads on Meta need to LOOK like real content, not like an ad. If you only know how to edit corporate or YouTube-style videos, this is not for you.

------------------------------
WHAT YOU WILL DO
------------------------------

- Edit short-form video ads (15-60 seconds) AND long-form videos (1-5 minutes) for Facebook & Instagram
- Produce videos for BOTH markets (Spain + Mexico), with different scripts, avatars, and voiceovers for each
- Create AI avatar videos using HeyGen (Soul ID / Character mode)
- Generate AI images using Nano Banana Pro / Midjourney / similar tools
- Add Spanish captions, subtitles, hooks, b-roll, sound design
- Edit raw UGC footage into native-style ads (handheld, "authentic" look)
- Create AI animations - both simple AND advanced (motion graphics, product reveals, transitions, complex AI-generated sequences)
- Adapt winning ads into multiple variations (different hooks, different angles)
- Manage and organize raw footage and final assets in Google Drive

------------------------------
TOOLS YOU MUST KNOW (REQUIRED)
------------------------------

* CapCut (Pro) - daily driver
* Adobe Premiere Pro OR DaVinci Resolve
* HeyGen (avatar generation, Soul ID Character mode)
* Higgsfield (for high-quality AI video generation)
* ElevenLabs or similar AI voice tools
* Any AI image generator (Midjourney, Nano Banana, Flux, etc.)

------------------------------
NICE TO HAVE (BONUS POINTS)
------------------------------

* Runway / Kling / Sora (AI video generation)
* After Effects (motion graphics)
* Experience editing for DTC / e-commerce brands
* Understanding of Meta Ads creative best practices
* Basic Spanish reading comprehension (helps a lot - most scripts will be in Spanish)

------------------------------
WHO YOU ARE
------------------------------

- FAST AND DETAIL-ORIENTED. A HeyGen avatar video should take 2-4 hours, not 10. You work efficiently AND check your work before delivering.
- ZERO TYPOS, ZERO MISSING ACCENTS. You triple-check Spanish text before delivering. Errors get caught BY YOU, not by me.
- RELIABLE WITH DEADLINES. If you say it'll be done Tuesday, it's done Tuesday.
- You understand "native" content - ads that don't look like ads.
- You take direction well but also bring ideas.
- You have stable internet and a computer that can handle 4K editing.
- You're available to communicate during agreed working hours.

------------------------------
WHO YOU ARE NOT
------------------------------

- Someone who needs hand-holding on every task.
- Someone who delivers slow and sloppy work.
- Someone who copies the same template for every ad.
- Someone who ghosts for 3 days without warning.
- A "video editor" who has never touched an AI tool.

------------------------------
TOOLS - IMPORTANT
------------------------------

Once hired, I provide ALL the tools and AI credits you need (HeyGen, Higgsfield, ElevenLabs, etc.). You won't pay anything from your side.

For the TEST PROJECT, I can't cover tools because I receive many applications and it's not sustainable to provide tools to every candidate. You'd need to use trials or your own subscriptions just for the test. Most platforms have free tiers that work fine for this.

------------------------------
HOW TO APPLY
------------------------------

Send me:
- Your portfolio (links to videos you edited - Drive, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.)
- At least ONE example of an AI avatar video you created (HeyGen or similar)
- Your part-time hourly rate in USD

IMPORTANT: Applications missing portfolio or hourly rate will be ignored.

------------------------------
NEXT STEPS - FAIR TEST POLICY
------------------------------

Shortlisted candidates will complete a small test project (1 short video ad + 1 short AI animation).

- If the test meets the quality standard, you GET PAID for it at your full hourly rate, and we move forward to a long-term arrangement.
- If the test does not meet the quality standard, the test is unpaid, and we part ways with no hard feelings.

If we click, this is a long-term, stable part-time role with growing scope. I prefer to build long relationships, not rotate freelancers.

Looking forward to seeing your work!
