Video Editor for Online Course

About Optimism

Optimism is a modern media platform focused on helping people live healthier, more meaningful lives. We create content, experiences, and products across health, wellness, and longevity.

We recently completed filming a premium online course, and are looking for an experienced video editor to help us transform the raw footage into a polished, professional learning experience.

The Project

We have already completed filming and have all raw video footage and audio files (60-70 minutes or footage) organized and ready for post-production.

We're seeking a freelance editor with prior experience editing educational content, online courses, workshops, or speaking-based content. This is not a full-time role—it's a project-based engagement focused specifically on delivering this course.

Responsibilities

- Review and organize provided video and audio assets

- Edit course lessons into polished, engaging learning modules

- Sync and clean audio for clear, professional sound quality

- Remove mistakes, pauses, retakes, and unnecessary content

- Create smooth transitions between sections where appropriate

- Incorporate branded intro/outro elements (assets provided)

- Add lower thirds, titles, and simple on-screen graphics as needed

- Color correct footage for consistency across lessons

- Export final videos optimized for course hosting platforms

- Collaborate with our team through review and revision rounds

Ideal Experience

- Previous experience editing online courses, educational content, masterclasses, or coaching programs

- Strong storytelling and pacing instincts for long-form educational content

- Proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar tools

- Experience with audio cleanup and dialogue enhancement

- Ability to maintain a clean, premium, and professional visual style

- Strong attention to detail and organization

To Apply

Please include:

1. Links to 2–5 examples of online courses, educational content, workshops, or speaking-focused videos you've edited.

2. A brief description of your editing process.
