Short Drama Creative Editor Intern

About the Role

• Type: Internship, 3–6 months, 24+ hours/week
• Location: SF Bay Area (Mountain View) or Beijing
• Reports to: Design Lead. Creative requests and scheduling come from the Performance Marketing Lead.

What You'll Do

• Cut trailers and ad creatives. Edit short dramas into 15–60 second trailers and paid ads in 9:16, with a strong hook in the first 3 seconds. These run on Meta, TikTok and Google ads and in in-app recommendations. You'll mainly work on titles where the partner sent no creatives or the creatives didn't meet our standards.
• QC partner creatives. This is your top daily priority. Partners are required to send ad creatives for their titles. You'll check each one for specs, subtitles, hook strength and ad-policy compliance on each platform, and make light edits when something doesn't pass.
• Produce creative variants every week. Follow the performance marketing team's test plan to make variants in batches, testing different hooks, end-card CTAs and subtitle styles. Then improve them based on CTR and CPI results.
• Run our short-drama channels on TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram. Cut highlight clips and recap/commentary videos, and keep a steady posting schedule.
• Use AI tools to work faster. Use AI for auto-subtitling, dubbing, translation and smart editing, and build reusable creative templates.

What We're Looking For

• Current student or recent graduate in film, media, design or a related field, with a short-form video editing portfolio. Please include a link to your work.
• Skilled in at least one of Premiere Pro, CapCut (or Jianying), or DaVinci Resolve. After Effects or motion graphics skills are a plus.
• You watch a lot of short dramas or vertical short-form video. You get hooks and beat-synced cuts, and you can explain why a specific ad makes people stop scrolling.
• You're curious about data. You're happy to look at CTR and CPI and change a creative based on what you see, not just make it look good.
• You can read and write English well enough to handle subtitles. Knowing ad policies on overseas social platforms is a plus.
• Experience with AI tools for editing, subtitles or dubbing is a plus.
