Opportunity: We are looking for a Micro-Drama Video Editor who can turn short-form drama content into high-performing performance ads at a very high pace. This is a highly specialised editing role. We are not looking for a general video editor.

The ideal candidate has experience working with micro-dramas, vertical dramas, short episodic content, or similar entertainment formats, and understands how to identify the strongest moments from a story and turn them into engaging ads.

Role Description: The Video / Ad Editor for the Micro-Drama Industry is a full-time, in office role based in Mysore. The role involves editing short-form video content and ads, assembling raw footage, and crafting engaging micro-dramas that align with brand and campaign objectives.

- Watch and analyse micro-drama episodes to identify the strongest hooks, conflicts, emotional moments and cliffhangers.
- Transform scenes from micro-drama series into high-performing short-form ads.
- Create multiple versions of ads from the same content.
- Experiment with different hooks, pacing, captions, music, scene sequences and CTAs.
- Understand audience retention and what makes viewers continue watching.




- Work closely with the content and performance marketing teams.
- Analyse creative performance and continuously improve future edits.
- Develop repeatable creative formats that can be scaled across multiple series.

What we're looking for:

- Proven experience of atleast 4-6 Years of editing micro-dramas / short dramas / vertical episodic content for short-form and ad-based content.
- Experience creating performance marketing video ads

- Performance-driven mindset
- Strong skills in Video Production and Video Editing
- Proficiency in Video Color Grading to achieve consistent and compelling visual aesthetics.
- Ability to create and integrate Motion Graphics and Graphics for storytelling and branding.

- Understanding of narrative structure, timing, pacing, and visual storytelling in micro-dramas.
- Attention to detail,



ability to work under deadlines, and strong collaboration and communication skills.
- Relevant education or certification in film, media, visual communication, or a related field is an advantage.

Preferred Candidate:

You should be able to watch an episode and quickly understand:

"This is the hook. This is the strongest scene. Start here. Reveal this later. End here."

And then turn that creative judgement into an ad that stops the scroll, holds attention and drives results.

Micro-drama experience is a key requirement.

IMPORTANT

We don't want someone from a completely different editing background who will need to learn this format from scratch.

Experience with companies or platforms producing micro-dramas, vertical dramas, short-form scripted content or drama-based performance ads will be highly preferred.

- High ownership of the creative process
