About Phootri Tales

Phootri Tales is a YouTube-first content IP studio. We build fiction IPs — short stories, big emotions, quick watches, lasting impact — with returning seasons and audiences that come back. We’re a young studio with a full slate in production, which means you’ll own real work from day one instead of waiting your turn.

The role

You’ll cut everything that lives outside the main episode. Our shows release on YouTube; your job is to make sure the channel and our social handles are never quiet between releases. This is a high-output, fast-turnaround role — if you like sitting on one edit for three weeks, this isn’t it.

What you’ll do
Cut Shorts and Reels from our long-form episodes — find the hook, build retention, make a 30-second piece work on its own without the context of the episode
Edit standalone social content: BTS, cast promos, trend formats, announcement pieces
Build motion graphics, titles, text animation, lower thirds and end cards in After Effects




Package for platform — vertical and horizontal versions, secure areas, captions, platform-correct exports
Work to the release calendar: every show launch has a fixed set of assets and fixed dates
Keep a clean, organised project and media structure that someone else can open and understand

What we’re looking for
2–4 years editing for social and YouTube, ideally at a content studio, agency or creator-led channel
Strong on Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
You understand short-form as a craft, not a crop — hooks, pacing, text rhythm, where a cut needs to land
A reel or drive link of social work, with view numbers if you have them
Fast, reliable and comfortable with volume. Release weeks are heavy
Working knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator for thumbnails and stills

Nice to have
Hindi content experience and an ear for Hindi dialogue timing
Sound design and basic mixing
Grading in Premiere or DaVinci
Experience on vertical micro-drama or short-form fiction
