I am looking for an experienced video editor to enhance a short video clip using the Capcut app. The target audience for this video are teenagers and young adults interested in Instagram/TikTok style edits. The raw 10 second clip shows a person jumping into a pool and needs to be edited with creative effects in Capcut to make it more engaging. Specifically, the video editor should slow down parts of the clip selectively to add dramatic effect while speeding other parts up. Transitions between the different speeds need to be smooth. Color grading and overlays may also be added if they complement the footage. Basic stabilization may be needed as the camera work is a bit shaky. Most importantly, the different editing elements like speed, color, overlays etc need to come together organically to tell a story in the short snippet. It is not just about applying individual filters or effects but crafting an aesthetically pleasing visual narrative. The edited clip will be shared on social media platforms so your work needs to follow current trends and styles popular among teenage audiences online without being overdone. This is a short but challenging project that requires expertise in mobile video editing, especially Capcut. The freelancer must have a portfolio showcasing similar creative editing work on Instagram stories, IGTV or TikTok videos. Please submit examples of your previous projects along with your bid so I can
