Before you scroll down and apply, read this page in full.

We know, it's a lot of information. But if you're the kind of editor we're looking for, you'll appreciate the level of thought and clarity we put into this. You'll know within 5 minutes whether this is your dream editing job with the team you've been looking for or if the opportunity isn't for you. Either way, you'll be really happy to know everything we've laid out before you apply. We're building a small intentional team and attention to detail is a big deal here.

Why Work With VMP

We’re a small, creative company that believes great work comes from great collaboration. VMP is run by two people, Matt and Michelle Vega, who care about doing things the right way, building real relationships, and making content we’re proud of. We work closely with our editors, treat them with respect, and build systems that make everyone's life easier. If you’re looking for consistent work, creative variety, and the chance to grow with a team that values what you bring to the table, VMP might be the right fit.

Here's what we offer:

Human-First Relationships

We communicate like real people and treat our editors as partners.

We're direct, kind, and intentional with feedback.

We’ve edited all of our videos ourselves, so we know how important the job is and treat people with the respect it deserves.

If we get praise from a client, you're going to hear it. Editing built this business and we celebrate sick videos.

Clear Expectations & Pay

Transparent per project pricing for each type of video.

Bonus system that rewards quality, speed, and revision efficiency. Project rates average between $20-$28/hr

Pay increases tied to value, not just time served. If your edits help us grow, your rate goes up. No need to ask.

We don't run our business on debt. You get paid on time, no matter what the client does.

Creative Collaboration

We want your ideas. If you see ways to improve an edit, let us know.

Want to try a new style? Run it by us. We’ll try to find a home for it.

Need better footage to make it great? Ask. We’ll shoot it if the budget allows.

Got a system tweak in mind? We love refining how we work together.

Consistent, Systemized Workflow

All projects run through DaVinci Resolve Cloud.

File names are renamed before upload. No random numbered files.

Revisions are simple. 1 Internal Round. 1 Client Round.

ClickUp handles project management, timelines, and deliverables.

Efficient Editing Experience

Our system is built to minimize revisions. We hate tons of back and forth notes, and we know you do too.

Turnaround expectations are clear, with zero micromanagement if expectations are met.

Communication is streamlined so you can stay in flow.

Editors can see how their work performs if they want insights.

Growth Focused Culture

We’re not looking for robots. We want editors who think, care, and grow with us.

We support skill growth. Color, motion graphics, AI, whatever you’re learning.

Invest in your skills and help us grow? You’ll be rewarded for it with more projects and increased pay.

We embrace AI workflows when they boost quality and save time.

Who We're Looking For

At VMP, editing isn’t just a task, it’s the craft that built our business. We care deeply about the work and want teammates who take pride in their edits and are always pushing to get better. If you're not making more money with us in 6 months to a year then something isn't working right. We’re building the kind of company we always wished we could freelance for.

If that sounds like your kind of place, here’s what we’re looking for in an editor:

Workflow and Tools

Must work exclusively in DaVinci Resolve and have the Studio Version. Also is comfortable with DaVinci Resolve Cloud.

Understand project structure, labeling and uploading assets. (We label all footage before upload.)

No external plugins without approval. All effects must be native or pre-cleared.

Open to using new tools, including AI, to work faster without sacrificing quality.

Editing Versatility

Highly skilled in at least 3 of the following: talking heads, dance instruction/hype videos, real estate videos, social media reels, and event highlights.

Understand pacing, storytelling, and how to use camera movement and shot length to create emotion.

Have a love for music and know how to select, pair, and edit footage to music.

Have a sense of humor and know how to lean into comedic timing, bloopers, or personality when needed.

Open to feedback and always looking to level up.

Strategic & Growth Minded

Cares about the craft of editing and always wants their current edit to be better than their last.

Open to learning new tools like color grading, Fusion motion graphics, or AI workflows.

Interested in being part of a team where editing helps shape the brand, not just churn out content.

Looks for a performance-based compensation model where raises and bonuses come from making videos that help the company grow.

Creative & Proactive Thinker

Sees themselves as a creative partner, that first aligns themselves with the VMP aesthetic and then finds ways to make it even better.

Brings new ideas to the table after fully understanding and executing the VMP vision.

Prioritizes delivering clean, on-brand edits but always looks to suggest improvements.

Invested in the performance of the content and helping it land.

Communication & Context

Fluent in English and understands context, tone, and humor to edit with emotional intelligence.

Communicates clearly, professionally, and responds in under 8 hours.

Comfortable using ClickUp for tasks, communication and deadlines or a fast learner of tech systems.

Takes feedback seriously and applies it thoroughly and completely in the first revision.

Availability & Reliability

Ideally located within ±3 hours of Pacific Time. If not, you must be available for at least 3 consistent hours per day between 8am–10pm PST.

Able to turn around edits in 2–5 days depending on scope.

Communicates proactively and doesn’t disappear mid-project.

Has a stable and high performance computer that can work with proxies without issue. Also must have a fast and reliable internet that won't slow down DaVinci Cloud Workflows.
