VOLUNTEER VIDEO EDITOR

What will you be doing?

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape how new and existing volunteers experience our training,
and to play a vital part in bringing the Smart Works mission to life through digital storytelling. Our ideal
volunteer has experience with video editing, subtitling, sound integration, and understands how to
create clear, compelling narratives through visual content. You’ll be working closely with the team to
edit pre-recorded footage into training videos that are informative, accessible, and aligned with the
tone and values of Smart Works.

Volunteers can attend a wide range of events, volunteer socials and access to our monthly volunteer
forums and training. You will become part of the supportive and buzzing Smart Works community,
consisting of over 780 volunteers across the UK.

What are we looking for?

Activities:

• Edit a series of short videos based on notes provided by the relevant staff member.
• Add subtitles accurately to make videos more accessible.
• Embed non-copyrighted sound (we recommend Freesound.org).
• Ensure smooth video flow: avoid awkward silences, cut-offs, or stagnation.
• Incorporate re-recorded audio or images if content needs improvement.
• Create engaging intros or title slides using Canva and brand-specific fonts.

Essential Skills:

You must be comfortable using one or more of the following editing software platforms:
Premiere Pro (preferred) – Subtitling and embedding functions are streamlined.
Final Cut Pro – Good flexibility for editing flow and visual enhancement.
DaVinci Resolve – Free but professional-level tool for editing and subtitling.
CapCut – Useful if you have social media experience (mobile-friendly).
Canva – For title cards, intros, and graphics using our brand fonts.
Please note: iMovie is less preferred due to limitations with font and flexibility.

Desirable Skills:

Demonstrated some editing experience
Strong understanding of subtitling, pacing, and audio syncing.
Able to take initiative and label clips clearly.
Comfortable with feedback loops and collaborative editing.
Willingness to reshoot or re-edit small sections if needed.
Good communication and organizational skills.

What difference will you make?

difference through using fashion as a force for good.
