Freelance Video Editor

Parlay One Media is expanding its freelance editor roster. We’re looking for strong editors who can tell a story, work efficiently, and bring some creative personality to the cut - not just make polished corporate wallpaper.

The work ranges from interview-driven brand and corporate stories to social content, event pieces, commercials, and vertical video. Some projects move quickly, but most are scheduled with advance notice and realistic deadlines. We value editors who are comfortable in deadline-driven environments without expecting anyone to live in permanent emergency mode.

What we’re looking for

• Strong storytelling and pacing, especially with interviews and B-roll.
• Excellent Adobe Premiere Pro skills and solid technical media habits.
• You must have your own Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.
• Good creative instincts - someone who can make work feel current, human, entertaining, or energetic when the project calls for it.
• Experience creating social-native or vertical content, not simply cropping a horizontal edit.
• Comfort with motion graphics and lightweight social tools such as After Effects, CapCut, or similar workflows is a strong asset.
• Ability to work independently from a brief, script, transcript, interviews, and a larger pool of footage.
• Reliable, prompt communication and professional deadline discipline.
• Comfort taking notes, turning versions efficiently, and collaborating with producers.

The work

Our footage is primarily shot on Sony FX6 and FX30 cameras. Projects may include 4K interview footage, B-roll, professional multichannel audio, graphics, captions, horizontal masters, and vertical/social versions.

For new editors, we provide a self-contained working package rather than access to our entire production storage environment. We care about organized projects, preserved filenames and timecode, correct audio handling, and clean handoff.

How we work

We usually know when projects are coming and will check availability before assigning work. Sometimes a client needs a fast turnaround, and experience in news, sports, agency, social, broadcast, or other deadline-driven environments is definitely useful. But the goal is a sustainable freelance relationship, not constant fire drills.

We’re especially interested in editors who can do both sides of the job: make a thoughtful interview-driven piece and also understand why a good TikTok, Reel, or short-form social edit needs a completely different rhythm.

Rate

$50 CAD/hour, freelance contract.

Application process

Applicants will complete a short application form with portfolio examples, experience, tools, and availability. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a standardized edit test based on the kind of work we actually do.
