Looking for a video editor who works professionally with short vertical videos in the following formats:
Content — my personal transformation:
climbing stairs, push-ups, progress, discipline, 1% better every day.
I need someone who:
understands platform rules
knows algorithm recommendations (especially TikTok USA)
can avoid shadow banning
keeps up with trends in Reels/TikTok
understands the difference between USA and RU algorithms
works cleanly, quickly, and minimally
This is a paid test of 3 videos.
After the test — long-term work (30–60 videos/month).
📌 What needs to be done (main tasks)
1) Edit vertical videos 8–12 seconds
From my raw footage (daily workouts).
2) Remove sound where I speak Russian
Especially when there is profanity — must remove.
3) Add a title at the beginning:
“Day X” — 0.3–0.5 seconds.
4) Add English subtitles (if there is speech)
Style:
5) Final frame:
“Consistency > Motivation”
6) Do NOT insert music
I add trends inside TikTok/Reels manually.
7) Light color correction:
slight contrast
warm/natural skin tone
no acidity
8) File format:
📌 Video styles (test)
In the test, you need to create 3 versions:
Fast Cuts — quick cuts, energy, 0.3–0.6 sec clips
Clean Minimal — minimal effects, focus on action
POV Movement — feeling of movement (steps, breathing, hands)
📌 Rules/restrictions for TikTok and Instagram (important!)
Must comply with:
absence of swearing, profanity, and Russian speech
absence of copyrighted music (no inserted tracks!)
absence of flashes/effects that violate monetization
no text over the face
no watermarks from CapCut and others
no AI templates from TikTok that reduce reach in the USA
📌 What I do NOT want
❌ Chinese templates
❌ acid transitions
❌ childish emojis
❌ long texts
❌ embedded music
❌ cheap effects
❌ “Instagram 2019 style”
📌 What I want in style
✔ clean
✔ modern
✔ minimalism
✔ energetic dynamics
✔ American visual
✔ correct text proportions
✔ focus on body / discipline / movement
✔ 1% progress per day
📌 Trends the editor should consider
The editor must:
keep up with US TikTok trends (not Russian)
understand the cycles of the For You Page
know how the "retention curve" works in Shorts
be able to keep the first 0.3–1.5 seconds as engaging as possible
know trends: “Day X challenge”, “Discipline over motivation”, “Build your character”, “Silent grind”, “No excuses”, “Cold aesthetics fitness”
use aesthetics of US creators:

We’re building a clean, minimalist US-facing wellness/discipline brand (artlux8.com).
We have 90+ raw clips (stairs, pushups, face/body progress). We need a short-form editor
to create 8–12s vertical videos for TikTok / Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts.

Must:

• “Day X” intro (0.3–0.5s), closing line “Consistency > Motivation”
• Clean English captions (white text + subtle shadow, large, ≤8 words), minimalist style
• Remove any Russian speech / profanity; final files WITHOUT embedded music
• Light cinematic color grade, no flashy AI templates
• Deliver MP4s (≤20MB), no watermarks, plus project files if possible
Nice to have:
• Experience with wellness/fitness creators
• Comfortable following a style guide and iterating fast
