Video Editing Apprentice
Help Valley7Studios keep up with short-form edits from high school sports and city culture footage. You’ll work on real clips that get posted — with real feedback and revisions.
What this is
This role is set up as a mentorship-based apprenticeship. Right now, it’s designed for someone building skills + a portfolio while helping us reduce the editing backlog.
It’s a good fit if you want consistent reps on real footage, can take notes without ego, and can hit a simple turnaround window.
What you’ll do
- Cut 30–120s vertical clips for Reels / TikTok / Shorts
- Pull highlights from longer raw footage (sports + city events)
- Add simple pacing, text moments (if needed), and basic structure
- Audio sync + basic cleanup (when needed)
- Apply edit notes + deliver revisions quickly
- Export clean, platform-ready files (1080x1920, proper naming)
Tools + turnaround
Tools: Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve / CapCut (any is fine)
Typical batch: 3–10 clips at a time (varies)
Turnaround goal: 24–72 hours per batch
Delivery: organized exports + clear file naming
What we’re looking for
- Comfort editing short-form content (even if you’re still growing)
- Understands vertical pacing and keeping clips tight
- Can follow simple direction and handle revisions
- Reliable communication (don’t disappear mid-batch)
- Respectful with footage + brand-safe posting behavior
Remote / Local
This can be remote from your location (most editors) or local if you’re nearby. Remote editors will receive batches digitally. Local editors may optionally assist on capture days later on.
Program timeline + path to paid work
Compensation: This starts as an unpaid apprenticeship (mentorship + portfolio credit). We’re building production capacity and using apprenticeship periods to identify reliable long-term collaborators.
- Initial term: 8–12 weeks
- Check-ins: every 30 days (quality, consistency, communication, speed)
- What “good” looks like: clean edits, fast revisions, dependable delivery
Paid opportunities may open based on two things: (1) company/project growth and (2) value added through services rendered. When paid work is available, editors who performed well during the term get first consideration.
If a paid position doesn’t open immediately, you still leave with real edits, credit, and priority placement on future paid batches.
