Title: Video Editor Needed - 100 High-Resolution Clips from UK Investigative Podcast Advert: I need a sharp video editor / social media clip editor to turn a fully edited 90-minute UK investigative podcast episode into 100 high-quality clips. This is serious public-interest content covering the UK water crisis, sewage pollution, regulators, water companies, infrastructure failure, environmental law, political accountability and financial structures. This is not a basic clipping job. I need someone who can watch the full episode, understand the arguments, identify the strongest moments, and turn them into clear, high-retention clips. I will provide the full-resolution master video file. Clips must be created from the master file only. I do not want anyone downloading or clipping from YouTube or using low-resolution source material. The podcast itself is already fully edited and finished. You are not being asked to rebuild the episode or add heavy visual elements. The job is to identify strong moments, cut them properly, format them for social platforms, add captions, clean hooks, subtle polish where needed, and create thumbnails. This would suit someone UK-based or someone who properly understands UK politics, media, public affairs and environmental issues. Deliverables: 80 vertical clips for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and X Vertical clips can range from around 20 seconds to under 3 minutes, depending on the strength of the moment 20 landscape clips for YouTube main feed and longer social use, around 3-6 minutes where the content supports it Each clip should be delivered in: one version with subtitles one version without subtitles For YouTube Shorts, provide an additional export where the first frame functions as a thumbnail, using a strong face, clear hook text and clean framing Clean, accurate captions/subtitles on all subtitled versions Strong first-frame hooks for vertical clips Custom thumbnail images for clips Suggested title for every clip Tracking spreadsheet with: clip filename suggested title speaker name topic format: vertical or landscape suggested platform suggested upload order hook line / transcript excerpt Thumbnail requirement: The editor must also create thumbnail images for the clips. These should use strong stills from the master video, clear facial expressions, bold readable text and a serious investigative style. Thumbnails must not look cheap, meme-like or exaggerated. They should support the topic of each clip and help make the video clickable while staying accurate. For YouTube Shorts, the editor should also make sure the first frame of the clip works like a thumbnail, with a strong face, clear hook text and clean framing. Style required: Serious, investigative, sharp, clean and credible. Not meme-style. Not influencer-style. No cheesy sound effects. No fake drama. No misrepresentation of the speakers. Light zooms, cuts, tasteful movement and subtle effects are fine, but the content must remain serious and authoritative. The episode includes legal, political, environmental, regulatory and financial themes. I do not want random loud moments clipped out of context. I need someone who can identify the real substance and turn it into strong, accurate social content. Accuracy matters. Speaker attribution must be correct. Clips must not distort what is being said. Please include examples of similar podcast, interview, documentary, current-affairs or political content you have edited.

Hello, I can handle this as a high-volume investigative clip production workflow, but with one important clarification: this is fundamentally a content curation + editorial judgment job, not just editing. Here’s how I would approach it: I will watch the full 90-minute master and isolate the strongest, contextually accurate segments across legal, political, environmental, regulatory, and financial arguments—prioritising clarity, factual integrity, and standalone meaning for each clip. For output, I will deliver: • 80 vertical clips (20s–3min depending on narrative strength) • 20 landscape edits (3–6 min contextual highlights) • Subtitled + clean versions for each clip • First-frame hook optimisation for Shorts-style thumbnails • Individual clip titles aligned to search and clarity • Full tracking sheet (topic, speaker, hook, platform, order, transcript excerpt) Thumbnails and first frames will be treated as editorial assets, not clickbait—clean, investigative, and publication-appropriate. Tooling: Premiere Pro + After Effects + subtitle workflow (Premiere captions / Whisper-based transcription if needed for accuracy). I’m available to start immediately once the master file is shared.

Hi, I went through your requirements and this is a high-volume editorial breakdown task where judgment, context extraction, and narrative integrity matter more than basic clipping or editing speed. I can take your full 90-minute master and systematically extract high-value moments, then structure them into a controlled clip system designed for retention while preserving factual accuracy, speaker intent, and the serious investigative tone of your content. Each clip will be reframed for platform-specific performance with clean subtitles, precise cuts, subtle visual emphasis (no over-editing), and consistent framing so the series feels cohesive across Shorts, Reels, and YouTube long-form extracts. Quick question: do you want the clips organized primarily around thematic pillars (water crisis, regulation, politics, finance), or ranked purely by engagement strength regardless of topic clustering?
