Video Editor (Arabic Speaker)

Description

We are looking for reliable and highly responsive Arab freelance video editors to support our team with high-volume short-form video editing. The editing tasks are straightforward, but the role requires speed, consistency, and strong availability during working hours. This role operates on a per-video payment model, making it ideal for editors who can work efficiently and handle batches of short-form content.

Editors will work on short-form content designed for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and more. Typical editing tasks include:

• Trimming footage (In/Out cuts)

• Applying transitions and basic motion graphics when needed
• Basic color correction when required

No complex visual effects or heavy post-production work is expected.

Requirements

• Arab applicants only — must have experience/background in Arabic content
• Constant availability and responsiveness during working hours
• Same-day turnaround — all assigned videos must be edited and delivered within the same day they are received
• Editors should only accept batch sizes they can confidently complete within the same-day timeframe
