We’re hiring a Video Editor (Full time) at Swavid (Bangalore). We are looking for a short-form content specialist who can take raw footage and turn it into high-retention Instagram Reels using proven hooks, pacing, and editing frameworks.

We’ll start with 3-4 paid trial videos. If we’re a good fit on both sides (quality, communication, timelines), we can move into a long-term, ongoing engagement.

What You’ll Do

- Plan shots & concepts:
- Suggest the type of shots, framing, and b-roll you need before recording.
- Co-ordinate with the Founders and Help structure content around strong hooks, clear narrative, and retention tactics.
- Edit high-performing Reels:
- Cut and edit vertical 9:16 content optimized for Instagram.
- Add dynamic subtitles/captions (with emphasis, color, emojis if needed).
- Use smooth, punchy transitions and speed ramps to keep retention high.
- Integrate simple motion graphics, overlays,



and on-screen text to highlight key points.
- Sync cuts to beats/music and trends where relevant.
- Optimize for performance:
- Follow current IG Reels trends, hooks, and editing styles.
- Tailor edits to maximize watch time, saves, and shares.

Must-Have Skills
- Strong sense of storytelling, pacing, hooks, and retention.
- Ability to work with graphics, text overlays, subtitles, and basic motion design.
- Comfortable with giving creative input (not just “editing what’s given”).
- Good communication and ability to take feedback and iterate quickly.
- Understanding of basic color correction and sound design for social media content.

- We’re looking for someone who can take full ownership and help shape how the brand looks and feels.
