Midas Media Ltd. is hiring a freelance short-form video editor for Tomi | Midas (@techbymidas) and MIDASMVMT (@midasmvmt).
We’re looking for strong storytelling, polished editing and confident motion graphics skills. You’ll turn supplied talking-head footage, voiceover and B-roll into engaging videos for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok.
The role covers both fitness and tech, with a distinct style for each brand.
This is fully remote freelance work, open worldwide, starting on a pay-per-video basis. There is potential for an ongoing monthly retainer once fit, consistency and workload are established.

Our channels

What you’ll edit

Fitness
Content supporting our workouts, fitness platform, mobile app, programmes and products, including:
  • Workout explainers, exercise technique and form demonstrations.
  • Programme introductions, showcases and launches.
  • Platform and mobile app demonstrations and how-tos.
  • Product showcases and promotional videos.
  • Supporting short-form content for YouTube workout releases.
Creative references:
We’re interested in clear explanations, strong pacing, useful visual cues and graphics that help viewers understand the subject.

Tech
Predominantly product-focused talking-head and voiceover content supported by B-roll and motion graphics, including:
  • Product explainers, demonstrations and how-tos.
  • Real-world use cases and relatable tech stories.
  • Sponsored product content.
  • Occasional showcases cut to music.
  • Standalone shorts repurposed from longer talking-head or voiceover videos.
Creative references:
These references communicate creative direction only.

What you’ll do

  • Build strong hooks, clear story progression and satisfying endings.
  • Select strong takes and tighten delivery while preserving the creator’s personality.
  • Match B-roll accurately to narration, exercise instructions and product features.
  • Create readable captions, animated text, callouts, supporting illustrations and motion graphics.
  • Use effects, transitions, music and sound design purposefully.
  • Clean up dialogue and maintain consistent colour and audio.
  • Turn supplied long-form footage into shorts with their own context and payoff.
  • Follow brand guidelines, sponsor requirements, confidentiality and product embargoes.
  • Flag missing footage or unclear instructions early.
  • Deliver organised, editable projects with their required media and assets.
We provide creative direction, scripts or key points, recordings and available footage. You should be comfortable making thoughtful editorial decisions without needing every cut explained.

What we’re looking for

  • Relevant experience editing narrated, talking-head or product-focused shorts.
  • Confident motion graphics skills beyond basic caption templates.
  • Good typography, composition and visual judgment.
  • Ability to adapt between two brands while maintaining consistent quality.
  • Attention to accuracy in exercise demonstrations, product details and on-screen text.
  • Reliable turnaround, clear communication and proactive problem-solving.

Scope and deliverables

A standard short is up to 60 seconds but can be longer sometimes and includes:
  • Editing from supplied footage and narration.
  • B-roll selection from supplied assets.
  • Captions and supporting motion graphics.
  • Audio finishing and colour correction.
  • Final exports and consolidated, editable source files.
  • Two rounds of revisions within the agreed brief.
We want to develop reusable graphics and editing treatments for each brand.

Long form videos (if we decide to add that) will be scoped and priced separately before work begins.

Payment and initial trial

Shortlisted applicants will complete one US$20 paid test using a shortened 30–45-second brief, with the scope and deadline agreed upfront.
The test will use supplied assets and assess storytelling, pacing, visual judgment, captions, motion graphic use, audio and basic colour correction. It includes 2 revision rounds and an editable project handoff. 

Candidates who progress will begin a paid trial at US$25 per completed short, covering different content types across fitness and tech.
The trial will normally span 5–10 videos, depending on how quickly we can assess quality, consistency, communication and fit. We may conclude the assessment earlier if the fit is clear. All completed trial assignments are paid at the agreed trial rate.
Once the required standard is demonstrated and we confirm progression, the rate increases to US$35 per completed short for subsequent assignments.
There is potential for regular ongoing work and a monthly retainer once fit and workload are established. 

How to apply

Please include:
  1. Three to five relevant finished videos, ideally spanning both fitness and tech. Explain exactly what you contributed.
  2. Examples of motion graphics or illustrations you created.
  3. Whether you are comfortable working across both categories. If you can only handle fitness or only tech, say so clearly.
  4. Which category you consider your strongest, even if you are confident in both.
  5. Which category you would prefer for the first paid test, and why.
  6. Your editing and motion graphics software.
  7. Your typical turnaround and monthly availability.
  8. Confirmation that you accept the US$20 paid test, US$25 trial rate and progression to US$35, along with revisions until satisfied and editable source-file requirements.

Please be candid about your strengths and limitations. We’re looking for someone whose editing quality, reliability and judgment consistently reduce the work required from the creator.
