  • Knowledge of sound design and audio mixing to polish final cuts

  • Proficient in color correction, LUTs, and basic grading

     
  • Skilled at applying brand guidelines, integrating logos, text overlays, and end cards seamlessly

     
  • Bonus: experience with sports content, including highlights, sizzle reels, or doc-style athlete features

     
  • Bonus: experience editing music-related content, such as music videos or studio sessions

     
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage project files, versioning, and multi-platform exports
