AI Summary

Transform raw creator footage into high-performing, script-accurate UGC ads for TikTok. Iterate on edits based on performance data and use AI tools for localization and dubbing.

We're not looking for someone who makes things look pretty. We're looking for someone who makes things perform. As a Freelance Video Editor at Shook Digital, you'll take raw creator footage and turn it into scroll-stopping UGC ads - iterating fast, remixing creatively, and using every tool available, including AI, to ship assets that win.

What you'll own

βœ‚ UGC production editing

  • Edit raw creator footage into polished, script-accurate UGC ads. Maintain the native, platform-first feel that outperforms studio content on TikTok.

β†Ί Performance-driven iterations

  • Review ad results and iterate cuts based on what the data says. Swap hooks, recut bodies, and test new CTAs with speed and precision.

⚑ Creative remixes

  • Repurpose winning assets into fresh variants. Combine hooks from one ad with bodies from another. Build the modular library that fuels our testing engine.

πŸ€– AI Video Editing

  • Use AI tools to localise and dub creator content across languages and AI voice overs. Stay ahead of what's possible with lip-sync workflows and apply it at scale.

What we're looking for

  • TikTok-native editing instincts β€” you know what a strong hook looks like in the first 2 seconds of raw footage, and you know how to build toward it.

  • Speed without sloppiness β€” you're comfortable turning around multiple cuts in a short window. Fast doesn't mean careless.

  • Performance mindset β€” you care whether your edits work, not just whether they look good. You read the results and apply them to the next cut.

  • AI tool fluency β€” you've used tools like ElevenLabs, or equivalent for dubbing and lip-sync. You experiment and stay current.

  • Modular thinking β€” you understand the hook / body / CTA structure and can edit to the module, not just the whole video.

  • Autonomous execution β€” you read the brief, ask the right questions once, and deliver. You don't need to be chased.
