Corporate Training Video Editor

Apr 2026 - Apr 2026 • 0 mos

Engaged through PeoplePerHour by an HR consulting firm to edit a series of internal corporate training videos for a client's employee onboarding program, completed over a four-day production schedule. The raw material consisted of webcam recordings of subject matter experts, screen-share tutorials, and slide presentations that needed to be transformed into polished, professional training modules suitable for a learning management system. I began by reviewing all footage to flag usable takes and identify sections requiring trimming due to technical errors, long pauses, or off-topic tangents, then assembled each module using clean cuts that preserved a natural, conversational tone appropriate for a corporate audience. Screen recordings were synced with webcam footage using a picture-in-picture layout so viewers could follow along with software demonstrations while maintaining a visual connection to the presenter. I designed simple, brand-consistent lower thirds introducing each speaker's name and title, built chapter markers and on-screen section headers to improve navigability, and added closed captions throughout to meet the client's accessibility requirements. Audio cleanup was a significant part of the work, involving noise reduction on inconsistent webcam microphones, level balancing across multiple speakers, and light compression to ensure clarity on both desktop and mobile playback. I color corrected the webcam footage to account for varied home-office lighting conditions and kept motion graphics minimal and professional, avoiding anything that could distract from the instructional content. The client requested restructuring of one module's section order midway through the project, which I implemented without extending the deadline. Five finished training videos totaling roughly ninety minutes of content were delivered within the four-day timeframe, fully captioned, chaptered, and ready for direct upload to the firm's LMS platform.

YouTube Video Editor for Tech Creator

Aug 2025 - Aug 2025 • 0 mos

Hired through PeoplePerHour by an independent technology YouTuber to edit a long-form review video alongside two accompanying Shorts within a five-day sprint. The creator supplied approximately ninety minutes of raw screen recordings, talking-head footage, and product close-up shots that needed to be condensed into a tightly paced fifteen-minute review. I began by transcribing key talking points and building a structural outline to identify the strongest narrative flow, then cut the footage down using J-cuts and L-cuts to maintain conversational rhythm while removing filler words, pauses, and repeated takes. Motion graphics were built in After Effects to display spec comparison tables, pricing overlays, and animated lower thirds introducing each product segment, all matched to the creator's existing channel branding and color scheme. I color graded the talking-head segments to correct white balance inconsistencies between recording sessions and applied subtle noise reduction and audio leveling to the voiceover track, layering in royalty-free background music that ducked automatically under dialogue. Captions and chapter markers were added to improve accessibility and YouTube SEO, and I generated a custom thumbnail concept with bold typography highlighting the review's core verdict. For the two accompanying Shorts, I extracted the most quotable moments from the long-form cut, reformatted them vertically, and added punchy captions designed to drive traffic back to the main video. All files were delivered in the client's preferred export settings with organized project files and a revision-ready timeline, completed on schedule within the five-day engagement and requiring no further adjustments before the creator's scheduled publish date.
