We need one vertical short-form clip cut from an hour-long podcast episode, ready to post to TikTok with no further work. **What you deliver** - One MP4, 9:16 vertical, 1080x1920, H.264 - Between 30 and 60 seconds - Burned-in captions: accurate, styled for mobile, never covering faces or mouths - Clean, normalized audio. No music bed unless it genuinely helps the clip - Speaker's face stays in frame and is not awkwardly cropped. If two people are talking, reframe or use a split layout - No watermarks, no third-party logos, no stock footage padding - Along with the file, one line telling us the timestamp in the source the clip came from **Where you have freedom, and this is the actual job** You choose the moment. We are hiring you for taste, not for button-pushing. Watch enough of the episode to find something worth a stranger's attention: a strong hook in the first two seconds, one self-contained idea, an emotional or surprising beat, and an ending that lands rather than fades out mid-thought. The clip has to make sense to someone who has never heard the show. Cuts, punch-ins, zooms, text emphasis, light b-roll: all welcome if they serve the clip. Skip anything that is just decoration. **How we judge it** We will watch it on a phone the way a viewer would. Would we keep watching past two seconds? Are the captions right? Is anything important cropped out? Does it stand alone? That is the whole test. A technically clean clip built around a boring moment does not pass. Source episode link is below. --- **Hiring:** up to 3 freelancers for this listing, each delivering 1 unit. **Turnaround:** 72 hours from award. **Payment:** fixed $60 per freelancer, one milestone, released when the work is approved. **Please answer in your bid:** 1. Send links to two short-form vertical clips you personally edited that performed well. Links to the live posts, not a showreel or a long-form edit. 2. For one of those clips, tell us in two sentences why you chose that specific moment out of the source footage. 3. Roughly how much of an hour-long episode do you watch before deciding what to cut? **Source material:** - [login to view URL]

Hello Client, This is not an AI bid; this is a self response. Your brief is clear: I will find a genuinely compelling moment from the full podcast, shape it into a standalone 30-60 second story, and deliver a polished 9:16 TikTok clip with accurate burned-in captions, mobile-safe framing, clean audio, and purposeful pacing. I will personally review the episode for a strong opening hook, reframe speakers naturally, and use punch-ins or text emphasis only when they improve retention. I can deliver the final H.264 MP4 and source timestamp within 72 hours. I will also include two live examples of vertical clips I personally edited, explain the moment selection for one, and state how much of the episode I reviewed before cutting. Should the clip prioritize a particular audience angle or recurring theme from the podcast, or may I select the strongest standalone moment across the full episode? Best regards, Sahil

I am Romil, a creative graphic designer, professional photo retoucher, and an expert in video editing. As an individual with a keen attention to detail and taste for visual aesthetics, I strongly believe I can fulfill your project's unique requirements. My portfolio includes expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Video Production that I am confident will turn your podcast episode into an intriguing TikTok clip. Not only do I have a technical fluency with editing tools, but I also understand the essence of storytelling within the constraints of a shorter format. While creating two personal vertical clips, my focus was always on grabbing the viewer's attention in the first two seconds and providing them with a self-contained idea that piqued their curiosity. For example, in one clip where I emphasized the use of light b-roll to emphasize the narrative theme of 'hope', I strategically chose a particular moment where the main protagonist was featured triumphing over struggles - it garnered significant engagement. Combining this method with my love for streamlined visuals and powerful storytelling, I guarantee you'll receive an attention-grabbing TikTok clip aligned perfectly with your intentions. Let me bring my diverse set of skills in graphic design, video editing, photo retouching, and 3D modeling to create something truly exceptional for your brand.

Hello, I’m Uduak, a short-form video editor with experience turning podcast and long-form footage into engaging vertical clips for social media. I came across your project for the “He Skipped MIT to Build This” episode with Dave Blundin, and I’d love to select the strongest moment and turn it into a scroll-stopping TikTok that works even for viewers unfamiliar with the podcast. I specialize in tight pacing, strong hooks, mobile-friendly captions, punch-ins, reframing, clean audio, and story-driven cuts. I’ll review all four provided moments, choose the one with the strongest standalone idea, and shape it around a compelling first two seconds, clear progression, and an ending that lands naturally. I’ll also ensure captions stay accurate and away from the speaker’s face while keeping the final 1080x1920 MP4 clean and platform-ready. I can download the files today and deliver the first draft within 12 hours of award. For the requested examples, I can provide two live short-form clips I personally edited and explain the opening choice for one of them. I’m comfortable working within your 24-hour turnaround and will include the exact moment and timestamp range selected with the final upload. If you’re looking for an editor who prioritizes taste, pacing, and retention rather than simply cutting footage down, I’d be excited to work on this test. Best regards, Uduak

Your podcast clip needs to succeed on the strength of the chosen moment, not just captions and vertical formatting, so I’d focus first on finding a self-contained 30–60 second segment with an immediate hook, clear payoff, and natural ending. I can then build the 9:16 edit in Premiere Pro with accurate mobile captions, clean reframing/split-screen where needed, punch-ins, text emphasis, and normalized audio, while providing the exact source timestamp. I haven’t included live-post examples or performance claims because no verified links were provided here. Could you share whether you prefer a clean podcast style or a more aggressive retention-focused edit?

Hi, I’m interested in editing this podcast episode into a high-retention vertical short for TikTok. I have experience with video editing, podcast clips, captions, YouTube Shorts, TikTok/Reels, and thumbnail/content editing. I use Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut, and DaVinci Resolve, and I focus on clean pacing, strong hooks, accurate captions, face framing, and edits that feel natural rather than over-edited. I don’t currently have public live links to previous short-form clips to share, but I’m confident in my editing skills and would be happy to demonstrate them through this project. For selecting the clip, I would review the episode carefully and look for a moment with a strong hook in the first few seconds, a clear standalone idea, an emotional or surprising moment, and a satisfying ending. I would watch most or all of the episode before making the final selection so I’m choosing the moment based on content quality rather than simply cutting a random section. I can deliver the requested 1080×1920 H.264 MP4, 30–60 seconds, with burned-in captions, clean audio, proper framing, and no unnecessary elements within the 72-hour deadline. I’m ready to get started. Best, Chetan Magar
