Welcome to Visual Popcorn

Based in the vibrant heart of Fort Lauderdale, Visual Popcorn (VizPop) is a trailblazer in video production and content strategy. We specialize in creating bespoke video content for luxury home design shows, real estate platforms, private equity firms, and ambitious brands on the rise. Our portfolio is as diverse as our clients, ranging from captivating YouTube series and insightful interviews to stunning brand films and cinematic event showcases. At VizPop, each video is a unique masterpiece, not a product of a content mill, with creativity and quality woven into every frame.

Your Role at VizPop

We are on the hunt for a video editor who sees beyond the timeline, understanding that the essence of a compelling video lies in its storytelling. Whether it's controlling the viewer's curiosity or ensuring every sound bite has a purpose, your role is crucial in winning the audience before the editing even begins. We offer two pathways in this role:

Long-Form Editor — Dive into editing YouTube videos, interview series, and event footage that span 3 to 20 minutes. Collaborate with our Creative Director to transform briefs into engaging narratives, making thoughtful decisions about pacing, B-roll, and story arcs.

Brand & Cinematic Editor — Take on a creative leadership role, working across both short and long formats to produce top-tier brand films and cinematic highlights. If your portfolio showcases advanced visual storytelling, this path is yours to explore.

Your Responsibilities

• Craft long-form YouTube content from multi-camera setups and interviews with a focus on narrative coherence.
• Design narrative structures before editing, ensuring a cohesive macro and micro storytelling approach.
• Select B-roll with intention, enhancing subtext rather than just filling visuals.
• Utilize pacing to enrich storytelling, balancing momentum and restraint.
• Produce brand films and cinematic content, pushing creative boundaries.
• Develop visual storytelling concepts from initial brief to final delivery.
• Maintain and develop motion graphics and brand visual systems.
• Collaborate closely with the Video Director to align with client visions.
• Manage complex audio mixes, color grading, and graphic integration efficiently.
• Deliver projects through Frame.io, ensuring clear communication and revisions.

What We Seek

For Long-Form Editors:

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro.

• Disciplined pacing and accurate captioning skills.
