    VAs for video editing

    Publish more. Edit less.

    Editing is the slowest, most expensive link in your content chain, and it's why half your footage never sees daylight. Your StaffPilot video editing VA turns raw footage into scroll-stopping short-form and polished long-form in Premiere, DaVinci and CapCut, so you ship more content without the bottleneck.

    Sound familiar?

    The three things eating your week.

    Footage piles up, content doesn't.

    You shoot plenty, but editing time means most of it never gets published.

    Editing is expensive and slow.

    Local editors and agencies charge a premium and turn work around in weeks.

    You can't test enough creative.

    Without fast edits and variations, your ads and posts stay stuck on one cut.

    Questions, answered

    Common questions about Video Editing VAs.

    What editing software do they use?+

    Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, After Effects and Descript are common. Tell us your workflow and deliverables in the brief.

    Short-form, long-form, or both?+

    Both, from snappy Reels and TikToks to long-form YouTube and webinar edits, plus ad versioning across aspect ratios.

    How do they match our style?+

    Your VA works to your brand templates, fonts, captions style and reference edits. Share a few examples and they'll match the look.

    How do we send large footage files?+

    Your VA works from your shared drive (Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io) and delivers back into your library, you keep the master files.

    What's the saving vs a local editor?+

    A local video editor runs about $91,000 a year all-in. A StaffPilot editor VA starts from $32,400, roughly 64% less. Run the calculator for your numbers.
