Purpose of the role Owns the look. The test of this role is easy and unforgiving: any two pieces from different weeks should look as though the same channel made them. That consistency does not come from effort on each edit — it comes from building a template system early and then working inside it. Location
- BKC/Navi Mumbai.
Key responsibilities
• Build and maintain the template library — one project template per format — so routine pieces take twenty minutes, not ninety.
• Own the house look: the LUT, the type system, the caption standard, the lower-thirds, the cover-frame templates.
• Cut to the standard: 1080×1920 at 30fps, no shot longer than six seconds on a talking head, every breath and hesitation trimmed, burned-in captions manually corrected, audio normalised to −14 LUFS with music sitting under the voice, a custom cover frame on every piece, and a clean loop from last frame to first. What we need
• 3–5 years editing short-form vertical video,
with a reel that shows it.
• Fluent in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, plus After Effects for motion graphics.
• Colour grading and audio mixing to a consistent standard across a body of work.
• Reads and understands Hindi or Marathi well enough to caption accurately and catch errors.
• Template-builder's instinct — the ability to see a repeatable system rather than a series of one-off edits. Good to have
• Camera and lighting experience for batch shoot days.
• Motion-graphics design beyond basic titling.
• Prior work on devotional, mythological or historical content.
• Familiarity with what Instagram and YouTube reward, not just what looks good. Interested candidates can mail there cv to
[email protected] with portfolio/work samples.
