Clients want more video than your team can cut
Short-form demand keeps growing, footage piles up, and editing happens late at night to hit the deadline. A video editor takes the cutting, captioning, and versioning, so content goes out on schedule and your producers can plan the next shoot.
Signs it's time to hire a video editor
- Raw footage sits for a week before anyone touches it
- Someone senior is editing at night
- Clients ask for more short-form than you can deliver
- Every platform needs its own cut and they're all late
- You've stopped pitching video because you can't fulfill it
What your video editor takes off your plate
- Edit long-form video for YouTube and client channels
- Cut short-form clips for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok
- Produce video ad variations for testing
- Add captions, motion graphics, and sound design
- Design thumbnails and manage the asset library
Every hire starts with our Delegation Blueprint, so the exact task list is built around your agency before we recruit.

Interview questions to ask a video editor

- 02How do you turn a 40-minute recording into five short clips?
- 03How do you organize project files and footage?
- 04A client says the video 'feels slow'. What do you change?
- 05How do you keep a consistent style across a client's videos?
- 06What do you do when the footage you're given is poor?
The hire is one event. The system around it is the product.
Most firms hand you a hire and disappear. We stay. You get support as the owner, and your hire gets support of their own.
- Delegation Blueprint
- Before we recruit anyone, we map what to hand off first and turn it into a written role you approve.
- Client Success Manager
- One person who stays with you after the hire starts, not just until they do.
- VA Mentor
- Your hire has their own mentor, so you aren't the only one coaching them.
- Quarterly calls
- Every quarter we get on a call to see how the hire is working out and what to adjust.

Questions we hear all the time
How do they get our footage?
Through shared cloud storage or a review tool such as Frame.io. Large files and a clear folder structure are worth setting up before day one.
Can they add motion graphics?
Most editors handle titles, captions, and simple animation. For heavier animation, add a motion designer.
Can one editor cover both long-form and short-form?
Yes. Many agencies start with one editor doing both and split the role once weekly volume is steady.
