What to Expect

Gyalifest is a Caribbean-rooted, women-centered community built through music, culture and shared experiences. We’re growing Gyalifest TV and looking for a freelance video editor who can turn our footage into content people feel connected to.

You’ll work primarily on short-form videos, alongside full DJ sets and occasional longer storytelling pieces.

  • You have a strong sense of rhythm, visual taste and storytelling. You can recognize a great moment in raw footage and build an edit around it.

    You should be comfortable:

    • Editing both music-led and dialogue-led content.

    • Syncing separate audio, correcting color and balancing sound.

    • Creating readable captions and intentional graphics.

    • Adapting longer footage into vertical social clips.

    • Keeping projects organized, meeting deadlines and responding to feedback.

    An understanding of Caribbean culture, nightlife and women-centered storytelling is a strong plus. Tell us what connects you to the work.

    This role focuses on editing supplied footage. Filming, posting and social media management are outside the initial scope.

    • Music & Live Performances: Full DJ sets and performance videos, plus standout social clips.

    • Stories & Conversations: Interviews, artist features and editorial pieces, with social cutdowns.

    • Affirmations: Short, uplifting episodes with a consistent visual identity.

    • Event Promos: Hype reels, announcements and promotional ads.

    • Recaps & Aftermovies: Videos that capture the people, music and details of the experience.

    • Behind the Scenes: Team moments, preparation and the creative process.

  • Ongoing freelance opportunity
    Budget: $300–$800 per month, depending on agreed scope. Per-project proposals are welcome.

    We’ll start with a paid first-month pilot to establish the workflow and assess the fit. Deliverables, turnaround times and revision limits will be agreed before work begins.

    The initial focus is Gyalifest, with potential to expand into other brands and projects as the relationship develops.

    2. Paid Editing Tests
    Shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete two assessments:

    • Music test — $75 USD: One approximately 30-minute, single-camera DJ set with separate audio, plus one 20–35-second vertical clip.

    • Storytelling test — $75 USD: One 30–60-second vertical editorial piece using supplied spoken footage and supporting shots.

    Each test includes one revision round. Completed tests are paid regardless of the hiring outcome. You’ll receive the full brief and review the materials before agreeing to start.

    3. Paid Pilot
    The selected editor starts an agreed first-month package, with the opportunity to continue.
