Video Editor

We are craftbro, a German marketing agency specializing in social recruiting, employer branding, lead generation, and professional photo and video production for small and medium-sized businesses.

We are looking for a reliable and detail-oriented remote video editor for a long-term collaboration.

You will edit authentic and modern recruiting videos, employer branding videos, company image films, customer testimonials, and short-form social media content for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and company websites.

Most projects include professional footage from German companies in industries such as construction, skilled trades, engineering, manufacturing, renewable energy, and technical services.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Edit short-form videos with a typical length of 30–60 seconds
• Create dynamic and engaging cuts from interviews and B-roll footage
• Select the strongest statements and most relevant scenes
• Add German subtitles accurately
• Add lower thirds, headlines, logos, calls-to-action, and simple animations
• Select suitable royalty-free music
• Balance interview audio, background music, and sound effects
• Follow detailed editing instructions and customer brand guidelines
• Export videos in multiple formats such as 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1
• Organize project files and follow clear file-naming conventions
• Implement feedback quickly and accurately
• Deliver projects reliably and on time

A typical customer project may include approximately 8 individual videos. Each video is usually delivered in three formats, resulting in around 24 final exports. The videos are generally 40–60 seconds long and require subtitles, branding, suitable music, clean audio, and format-specific adjustments. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

OUR EXPECTATIONS

We value reliability, accuracy, communication, and consistency more than flashy effects.

You must be able to follow detailed instructions, meet deadlines, handle feedback professionally, and maintain the same visual quality across many videos.

Our videos should feel authentic, modern, professional, approachable, and emotionally engaging. Static footage, unnecessary effects, visible third-party brands, poor audio, and incorrect subtitles must be avoided. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
