Shorts editor

Video Editor — Editing Style & Ongoing Content Brief I’m looking for a video editor to work with on an ongoing basis, primarily creating short-form content for social media. I’ve included the Instagram page below as a reference for the editing style I’m looking for: Reference: Instagram — @metromedia.house What I particularly like about their content is the overall editing style, pacing, transitions, visual effects, colour grading, text animation, sound design, and polished feel. I’m looking for someone who can replicate that overall style as closely as possible rather than simply creating a generic “Reels/TikTok” edit. The main adaptation The one major difference is that I want to incorporate a talking-head video in the corner of the screen throughout the content. The primary footage/content would remain the focus, with my talking head appearing as a secondary element — positioned and styled in a way that feels natural within the reference editing style. I’d want the talking-head element to be integrated into the edit rather than simply looking like a webcam overlay. Things such as framing, masking, borders, shadows, movement, positioning and transitions should all feel intentional and consistent with the overall visual style. What I’m looking for Ideally, you would be comfortable with: * Fast-paced, engaging short-form editing * Replicating the reference page’s overall editing language * Dynamic cuts and transitions * Motion graphics and animated text * Clean typography and on-screen captions * Strong sound design and music selection * Professional colour grading * Subtle visual effects where appropriate * Zooms, punch-ins and movement to maintain attention * Integrating a talking-head element into the composition * Creating edits that feel polished and premium rather than templated Content volume I’m looking to publish approximately 3–4 videos per week, so I’m interested in building an ongoing working relationship with the right editor rather than hiring for a one-off project. Consistency is important to me, so once we establish the visual style, I’d want that style carried across every video. What I’d like to know from you Before moving forward, I’d like to know: 1. Is this style something you’re capable of replicating? 2. How closely can you match the editing, pacing, colour grading, transitions, text animation and overall visual style of the reference? 3. Are you comfortable incorporating a talking head in the corner while maintaining the same polished aesthetic? 4. Can you provide examples of similar work you’ve done? 5. What would your pricing look like for 3–4 videos per week? 6. What would your typical turnaround time be? 7. Would you be comfortable doing an initial test edit so I can see how closely you can match the reference? The most important thing for me is quality and consistency. I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest editor — I’m looking for someone who can genuinely achieve the visual standard I’m after and become a reliable long-term editing partner.

Short-Form Video Editor for Instagram Reels

I’m looking for an experienced short-form video editor to edit Instagram Reels for my personal brand. I do **not** just need someone who can add captions and transitions. I’m looking for an editor who understands what makes people stop scrolling, keep watching and finish a Reel. Start your message saying MARIO or you'll pitch will be ignored. ### What I need You’ll be editing mainly talking-head content for Instagram Reels. The editing should improve retention through: * Strong pacing and clean cuts * Strategic text placement and emphasis * Dynamic captions that support what is being said * Pattern interrupts where appropriate * Sound effects used intentionally, not excessively * Music that supports the content without overpowering it * Zooms, crops, B-roll or visual changes where they genuinely improve attention * Removing pauses, dead space and anything that slows the Reel down * Understanding when the video needs movement and when it needs to stay visually clean My content is psychology, identity and behaviour based, so the editing needs to feel **intelligent, premium and modern**, not gimmicky or overly flashy. ### What matters most I want someone who understands **why people keep watching a Reel**. You should be able to look at a raw video and make decisions about: * Where attention is likely to drop * Which words should appear on screen * When the visual needs to change * How quickly cuts should happen * Where sound can create emphasis * How to make the first few seconds stronger * How to maintain attention without making the edit distracting I’m particularly interested in someone who actively follows current Instagram/Reels editing styles and understands short-form content performance. ### Style Think: Clean Sharp Fast enough to hold attention Premium rather than over-edited I do not want constant random animations, excessive emojis, distracting effects or captions bouncing around the screen for no reason. Every editing choice should have a purpose. ### Ongoing work I produce a high volume of short-form content, so I’m looking for someone reliable who can eventually become familiar with my editing style and turn videos around consistently. ### When applying Please send: * Examples of Instagram Reels/TikToks/short-form videos you have edited * Examples specifically showing talking-head editing * A brief explanation of how you approach retention when editing a Reel * Your price please be realistic I'm NOT paying £10 per reel. I post around 20 videos per week! * Your typical turnaround time I’m particularly interested in hearing **what you would actually do to keep someone watching a 15–30 second talking-head Reel**.

Duplicate my IONOS blog to substack - no migration

I would like to duplicate my existing IONOS blog (in Wordpress) to Substack, keeping my current site live and unchanged. The reason I want to do this is to attract more of an audience to my writing. An example of a blog post is as follows: https://heartmindbreathe.com/basic-sanity-returning-to-whats-already-here/ This is not a request for migration. Fluent English is a must, as I want to be walked through the process so that it's something I can continue to manage myself, rather than have it done for me. I anticipate this taking two or three short online sessions alongside the practical setup. Please only apply if you're comfortable explaining things clearly.

Draft a Short Deed of Disclosure, Warranty, and Indemnity

I require a short, simple but legally binding, standalone Deed that forces absolute transparency over the exact amount of an inheritance. Me and my ex partner are married and are about to enter into a financial/consent order. He has now disclosed a 5k inheritance which I am happy to let him keep. However, he initially failed to disclose an inheritance, having been actively advised by his parent to hide this from me, so I cannot trust his verbal word due to the prior deception. The purpose of the document is to give him a clear, formal opportunity to reflect and confirm the truth of his disclosure before we submit the Consent Order. Key Clauses and Elements to Include: Declaration of Value: A straightforward statement where he confirms that the total inheritance received or due to be received from his grandparent's estate is exactly £5,000.00. Warranty of Completeness: A legal promise that there are no planned, delayed, or deferred further payments to be made to him in connection with this Will or estate at a later date. No Side Agreements: A sworn statement confirming there are no verbal promises, informal understandings, or side arrangements with family members or executors to hold back further money until our separation is legally finalised. Right to Verify: A clause clarifying that while a copy of the Will is not being requested now, I reserve the absolute right to obtain a copy of the Will and estate accounts in the future if dishonesty is suspected. 3. Consequences of Breach Automatic Financial Penalty (Clawback): If hidden funds or delayed payments from this estate are discovered later, I will be automatically entitled to a lump-sum payment equivalent to 100% of the hidden or undeclared balance Legal Costs: A provision forcing him to fully pay all of my future legal fees and court costs if I am forced to take legal action to enforce this Deed or reopen the financial settlement due to an untrue declaration. Execution as a Deed: The document must be structured as a short Deed to be signed in the presence of an independent witness, giving it heavy legal weight without requiring an aggressive tone. Consequences: Full Indemnity for Court and Legal Fees: A robust provision forcing him to fully pay 100% of all my future legal fees, solicitor costs, and court fees if I am forced to take him to court due to an untrue declaration.

GIS SPECIALIST WANTED FOR SHORT ECOLOGICAL MODELLING REVIEW

I have developed a continental-scale GIS friction surface to explore possible directions and corridors of long-distance primate dispersal across eastern and southern Africa (using QGIS). Before developing the model further, I would like an independent specialist to advise whether applying relative costs to landscape features, followed by least-cost path analysis, is a scientifically reasonable way of generating conditional hypotheses about possible animal dispersal. This is an initial conceptual review only. I am not asking anyone to reproduce the model, inspect the complete workflow, process large datasets or verify every GIS operation. The task would involve: reading a short description of the model; examining a simple diagram and example output; discussing the approach with me for approximately one hour; advising on its validity, limitations and whether broader corridor analysis would strengthen it; providing a short written summary of your opinion. I am particularly interested in people with experience in ecological resistance surfaces, animal movement or dispersal modelling, landscape connectivity or least-cost corridor analysis. Please briefly describe your relevant experience and provide an example of comparable work. A generic knowledge of QGIS or ArcGIS alone will not be sufficient. This may lead to additional separately agreed work, but there is no expectation of involvement beyond this initial review.

U.S. High School Teacher for Short Cybersecurity Classroom Pilot

I am seeking an active, certified U.S. secondary school teacher (ideally teaching Grade 9–12 Computer Science, Technology, Business, Career Education, or Digital Literacy) to run a brief, anonymous classroom efficacy pilot. The pilot measures how effectively my free platform, GamingForLearning.com, helps students learn core cybersecurity skills. I am collecting this data for genuine educational evaluation. What I am asking you to do Administrative approval: Secure any permission you need from your school to run a short digital-literacy lesson (I provide a ready-to-use teacher guide). Pre-assessment: Give my short (about 10-minute) cybersecurity questionnaire to your class (roughly 25 students) before they start. The activities: Have students work through three short, free, browser-based activities — phishing awareness, cryptography, and incident response — at their own pace. No logins, no installs. Post-assessment: Give the identical questionnaire again afterwards to measure the aggregate before-and-after change. Report: Calculate your classroom-level average scores (for example, "class average rose from X to Y") and enter them on the one-page report template I provide, on your official school letterhead. No individual student data (FERPA) I do not want or accept any individual student data, names, or student IDs. You keep all individual answer sheets in your own records. You report only the final group-level averages. What I most need Your honest results, whatever they show. If the scores do not move much, that is genuinely useful — I am paying for your professional time and honest judgment, not for a positive result. Verification (required before the pilot begins) To confirm this is a genuine U.S. classroom, once we connect I will ask you to: Confirm your current U.S. school and teaching role, and provide proof of an active K-12 teaching license or current school employment. Deliver the final aggregate report scanned on your official school letterhead. Confirm your results through your official school channels. If you are a currently practising U.S. secondary teacher with a live class you could run this with in the next few weeks, please apply and I will follow up with the details.
