Expert Short-Form Video Editor for Viral Ai Content (Tiktok, Reels, Shorts)

We are seeking a highly specialized and long-term freelance editor to create high-retention short-form video content for our viral AI brand, Closenia. This role is not for a traditional video editor; we need someone deeply familiar with the nuances of viral content creation for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of:
- Viral hooks
- Audience retention strategies
- Pacing for maximum engagement
- Dopamine editing techniques
- Creating curiosity gaps
- Developing scroll-stopping content
- TikTok psychology and user behavior

About Closenia:
Closenia is an innovative AI platform dedicated to exploring chat analysis, attraction dynamics, emotional tension, manipulation, confidence, negotiation, and social psychology. Our content aims to be thought-provoking and highly engaging.

Visual Style:
We require a dark cinematic aesthetic, featuring black backgrounds, minimal design, and white text. Purple/pink glow accents should be incorporated to create an emotionally intense atmosphere.

Content Style:
Videos will be 8-15 second vertical shorts, primarily featuring fake chat conversations and hooks related to attraction and social psychology. The style must be minimalist, fast-paced, and engineered for virality. Examples of content hooks include: "You already lost them.", "This text killed attraction.", And "You’re over-investing."

Your Role:
- Create and edit 2-3 shorts per day from provided scripts or prompts.
- Significantly improve video pacing and audience retention.
- Add subtle motion, zooms, and sound effects to enhance engagement.
- Ensure a consistent visual and thematic style aligned with the Closenia brand.
- Optionally, upload the finished content directly to the target platforms.

Tools:
Proficiency with editing software such as CapCut, Canva, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, and experience with AI-powered tools like Kling or Runway, or similar platforms, is highly valued.

We prioritize fast execution and a deep understanding of viral content over overly complex editing techniques.

We are NOT looking for:
- Corporate video editors
- Slow cinematic editing styles
- Long-form YouTube content creators

We ARE looking for someone who is obsessed with:
- Retention metrics
- Content virality
- Emotional impact
- Understanding and leveraging TikTok/Reels user behavior

Goal:
The primary objective is to produce videos that effectively stop users from scrolling, maximize watch time, and generate significant comments and shares.

To apply, please provide:
- Examples of short-form videos/reels you have edited.
- A description of your typical editing workflow and preferred tools.
- Your pricing structure (per short or monthly retainer).
- Any relevant experience with viral content creation.

We are looking for a long-term, stable collaboration.
