Video Editor Internship
Video Editor Internship
About Elev8
Elev8 Real Estate Media creates high-performing real estate content across New England—listing videos, short-form reels, agent branding, and more. We care about clean storytelling, strong pacing, and a premium finish.
The Role
We’re hiring a Video Editor (Contractor) to turn raw footage into polished, scroll-stopping edits that match Elev8’s style. You’ll work closely with our team and be trusted to deliver consistently high quality on a fast timeline.
Contract Details
- Pay: $20-25/hr
- Turnaround: 24 hours for most assignments (from footage received to first delivery), unless otherwise agreed upon in advance
- Revisions: Must be comfortable with feedback and able to turn revisions quickly
What You’ll Edit
- Real estate listing videos and walkthrough reels
- Short-form social content (typically 15–60 seconds, vertical 9:16)
- Agent branding and lifestyle pieces
Quality Bar (Non-Negotiables)
- Strong hook and pacing (the first 1–3 seconds matter)
- Clean, modern captions and text hierarchy (readable, not cluttered)
- Polished color and exposure consistency
- Audio that feels intentional (balanced levels, clean dialogues, proper music ducking)
- Smooth, confident editing choices (premium feel without “effects for effects”)
Responsibilities
Editing & Post-Production
- Edit raw footage into finished videos with strong pacing, structure, and flow
- Sync edits to music and natural audio where appropriate
- Add captions, text overlays, and branding elements cleanly and consistently
- Perform basic color correction, stabilization, and audio balancing
- Stay current on short-form editing trends (Reels/TikTok) and replicate trends quickly while keeping Elev8’s style
- Use AI tools thoughtfully to speed up workflows (captions, cleanup, asset generation) while maintaining a premium finish
- Export and deliver final files in required formats
Collaboration & Workflow
- Communicate clearly about timelines, questions, and progress
- Implement feedback accurately and efficiently
- Stay organized with files, versions, and naming
- Be responsive during the edit window so we can hit the 24-hour requirement
Tools
- Any non-linear editor (NLE) is fine (CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, etc.). We hire for results, not software.
- Must be able to deliver clean captions/text, strong pacing, and polished color + audio.
Style References
We’ll share reference videos from media companies we love so you can match the pacing, polish, and overall feel.

What We’re Looking For
- A portfolio that proves high-end editing skill (taste, pacing, polish)
- Reliable and organized with consistent delivery
- Comfortable receiving feedback and executing revisions quickly
- Detail-oriented (caption accuracy, timing, clean design choices)
- Stays on top of social editing trends and can execute them fast without sacrificing quality
- Curious and up to date on AI tech in the content industry (and knows when to use it)
- Real estate editing experience is a plus, not required
