About the Role
At WPP Production, this role is crucial because clients expect a single shoot to produce content for every major platform, with each platform having different rules for performance. The role involves turning raw footage into platform-ready content at the volume clients demand, applying platform-specific pacing and formatting, repurposing long-form assets, and maintaining brand consistency across channels.
Responsibilities
- Edit raw footage into polished, platform-optimized videos for Reels, Shorts, TikToks, YouTube videos, and other social formats.
- Structure story flow, pacing, and hooks to maximize watch-time and retention within the first 3 seconds.
- Add captions/subtitles, on-screen text, lower-thirds, and motion graphics as per brand guidelines.
- Ensure all edits meet platform-specific specs (aspect ratio, resolution, duration, safe zones, file format).
- Incorporate feedback quickly and manage multiple revisions under tight deadlines.
- Stay updated on platform trends, algorithm changes, and content formats.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (primary); working knowledge of Adobe After Effects, or CapCut.
- Strong grasp of motion graphics and typography for social-first storytelling.
- Familiarity with Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator for thumbnail creation and graphic overlays.
- Understanding of codecs, frame rates, aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9), and export settings for each platform.
- Knowledge of colour correction/grading basics.
- Comfortable with audio editing (noise reduction, levelling, syncing) using tools like Audition or Premiere's audio panel.
- Creative eye for trends, memes, transitions, and platform-native aesthetics (TikTok-style vs polished YouTube vs. professional LinkedIn).
