Job description
Project Overview
This is a freelance opportunity for an experienced video editor to assist with a personal travel content project. The work centers on 4K HDR footage shot on an iPhone 14 Pro during a solo trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The main goal is to pull the best possible 48MP RAW still images from the video, refine them to a professional finish, and prepare them for strong performance on social media.
The right freelancer should have a sharp visual sense, especially for cinematic travel imagery, and the technical ability to turn extracted frames into polished, eye-catching assets suitable for online use.
Deliverables
- Assess the 4K HDR travel footage and identify the best moments for still extraction.
- Pull high-resolution 48MP RAW stills from the video source files.
- Retouch and improve selected images for sharpness, color balance, and a cinematic look.
- Export the final images in formats that work well across different social media channels.
- Make sure all outputs are professionally finished and ready to publish immediately.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience editing video and extracting stills from high-resolution footage.
- Working knowledge of tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
- Strong photo enhancement and retouching ability using Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom.
- Solid understanding of color grading, framing, and cinematic visual style.
- Comfort working with RAW files while preserving image quality throughout the process.
- A careful eye for detail, plus a portfolio showing similar travel or social media work.
- Dependable communication and the ability to meet agreed deadlines.
- Open to a one-off assignment with the possibility of more work later.
