Dream Three is a story studio built to deliver best-in-class, genre-spanning narratives across mediums, including film and series, theater and live events, publishing and music, and digital and immersive. If you’re looking for a team that takes big creative swings and doesn’t settle for less than excellent, keep reading.\nROLE OVERVIEW\nWe’re looking for a Short Form Video Editor who lives and breathes vertical video to cut high-retention clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. You’ll turn long-form footage (interviews, BTS, podcasts) into tight, thumb-stopping edits that hook in the first 1-3 seconds, keep viewers watching, and drive follows. If you’re obsessed with hooks, pacing, and platform-based storytelling-and you can move quickly without losing taste-you’ll thrive here.\nWhat Success Looks Like In This Role:\nYou consistently deliver 3-5+ strong clips per week (0:15-2:00) from provided footage, on brief and on time.\n\nYour edits show clear hooks and high retention relative to baseline for each channel.\n\nProjects are tidy and easy to pick up-clean timelines, labeled exports, and organized media.\n\nWHO YOU ARE\nYou move fast but care a lot about taste and details.\n\nYou’re comfortable getting direct creative feedback and iterating quickly.\n\nYou love studying what works on TikTok/Reels/Shorts and can explain why a clip hits.\n\nYou’re proactive: if a hook isn’t working, you suggest alternatives.\n\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nEdit 3-5+ short form clips per week from long form footage, with quick turnarounds (sometimes same day).\n\nCraft strong cold opens, trims, and pacing tailored to TikTok/Reels/Shorts.\n\nAdd accurate, on-brand captions and punch up with motion graphics, callouts, emojis, and SFX when appropriate.\n\nMix and sweeten audio (dialogue cleanup, music/SFX balance) and do basic color correction/matching.\n\nVersion content for 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 and export platform-ready files with correct codecs and loudness.\n\nPackage assets: clean project files, labeled exports, thumbnail pulls, and simple metadata (working title/tags).\n\nKeep projects organized in Dropbox/Drive per our file naming and folder conventions.\n\nCollaborate with producers/social strategists, take thorough notes, and turn revisions around promptly.\n\nJoin regular Zoom/Slack check-ins for feedback and planning.\n\nROLE REQUIREMENTS\n2+ years editing short-form content for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or equivalent experience demonstrated in portfolio.\n\nProven hook-first storytelling for vertical video: you can articulate why something will stop a scroll.\n\nProficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro as your primary NLE.\n\nSolid audio fundamentals: Denoise, EQ, compression, loudness targets for spoken word vertical content.\n\nComfort designing and styling subtitles for vertical formats.\n\nFamiliarity with current platform norms and trends (cuts, pacing, memes, sounds, transitions) without chasing every gimmick.\n\nStrong communication, time management, and reliability in a remote environment.\n\nPortfolio/reel of vertical edits (please include links; TikTok/Reels/Shorts links are ideal).\n\nTOOLS YOU’LL USE\nEditing & Motion: Adobe Premiere Pro\n\nReview & Delivery: Frame.io, Dropbox\n\nCollaboration & Workflow: Slack, Zoom, Asana\n\nWe’ll provide our brand kit, fonts, LUTs, and delivery specs, and we’ll collaborate with you to evolve best practices over time.\nPLUSES\nExperience cutting comedy, creator-led, or podcast-driven content.\n\nBasic thumbnail design skills (Photoshop/Illustrator/Canva).\n\nFamiliarity with YouTube metadata and SEO for Shorts.\n\nPrior collaboration with a social strategist or growth lead.\n\nProficiency in CapCut, Instagram Edits, or similar mobile tools-but not used as your primary editing tool.\n\nAdobe After Effects for motion graphics.\n\nADDITIONAL DETAILS\nAvailability: Approximately 10-20 hours/week once ramped, with flexibility to scale up/down around releases.\n\nLocation: Fully remote (must have reliable internet and a capable editing setup).\n\nStart Date: ASAP.\n\nType: Freelance 1099 Contractor\n\nReports to: Social Media Manager and Podcast Coordinator\n\nSenior Editors: On occasion, we hire senior-level editors at higher rates. If you feel this describes you, please note it in your application.\n\nIf this role feels like a stretch in all the right ways, we’d love to hear from you. Tell us how your skills, experience, and unique point of view can level up this team and the stories we’re bringing into the world.\nDream Three is an equal opportunity employer. We value a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and perspectives, and strongly encourage candidates from historically underrepresented communities to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4774,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"New York","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Film Production","TV Production"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T18:11:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.26,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":340,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dreamthree-short-form-video-editor","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dreamthree-short-form-video-editor.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T03:04:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":841,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":674547},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=674547"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdreamthree-short-form-video-editor"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdreamthree-short-form-video-editor"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdreamthree-short-form-video-editor"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dreamthree-short-form-video-editor\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdreamthree-short-form-video-editor"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":834259}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"dreamthree.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":834259},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
