SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITOR (Reels, Shorts, TikTok)
Veritas Creative Media is hiring an editor for Adam Lane Smith, a relationship coach with a large following on social media. The role focuses on editing short-form video content for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. Required
- 3+ years of experience editing short-form social video, including for a channel that publishes daily.
- Experience with talking-head and educational content.
- Color grading with scopes on a calibrated display, including preset management and consistent skin tones across changes in wardrobe and lighting.
- Working knowledge of source-matched sequence settings, social loudness standards, color space and platform export settings.
- Fluent English listening comprehension, as edits follow the speaker rather than a transcript.
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro.
- A workstation capable of native 4K editing and an internet connection suited to 20–35 GB source files.
Nice to have
- Experience with After Effects.
- Ability to take full responsibility for color across all channels. Candidates with this experience are considered for the upper end of the salary range.
What you will do
- Edit vertical video from 4K footage and finished long-form episodes, including multi-speaker podcasts.
- Produce clean edits in the brand’s established style.
- Shape pieces for performance: select the strongest moment, craft the opening seconds, set the pace and test alternative hooks.
- Develop original concepts that bring the brand to new viewers.
How We Measure Success
- Consistent style, color and skin tones across every edit and channel.
- Measurable improvement in retention on pieces with tested hooks.
- A steady flow of original concepts that reach new viewers.
- Every export meets each platform’s loudness and color space standards.
Tools: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, YouTube Studio, ClickUp, Miro, Google Workspace
How to Apply

- A short note on one of these edits: why you chose its opening and which alternative hook you tried.
- A screen recording or project file showing your grading process.
- A professional reference from a channel you’ve edited for.
