Video Editing Intern

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Base is seeking a Video Editing Intern to join their creative team. This role is at the intersection of content production and digital marketing, where the intern will transform raw footage into polished ads, social clips, and brand content. The ideal candidate will be organized, understand the nuances of paid versus organic content, and be comfortable working at a fast pace.

Requirements

• A portfolio or reel that shows clean, purposeful editing whether from school, freelance, or personal projects.
• Understanding of paid social media content: what makes an ad stop the scroll, how hooks work, how to structure a video for conversion vs. awareness.
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro at minimum; After Effects and Photoshop are a plus).
• Familiarity with digital asset management. You know how to name files, build folder structures, and keep a library usable at scale.
• Ability to shoot basic video on iPhone, DSLR or mirrorless cameras.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and turnaround times are tight.
• Eagerness to learn, take feedback, and collaborate with a cross-functional team.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Air or similar DAM platforms is a bonus.

Responsibilities

• Edit video content for paid social campaigns (Meta, TikTok, YouTube) as well as organic channels, adapting tone and format to match each platform's requirements.
• Take a brief and raw footage and turn around polished, on-brand edits quickly and professionally.
• Help build out and maintain our digital asset management system as we migrate to Air - organizing footage, project files, templates, and exports so the team can find what they need.
• Shoot basic supplemental video when needed, primarily on iPhone, to fill gaps in existing footage.
• Apply color correction, audio cleanup, and basic motion graphics to deliver work that meets a professional standard.
• Use AI tools to speed up workflows: transcription, rough cuts, asset tagging, captioning, or whatever makes the work better and faster.
• Collaborate with the creative and marketing teams to understand campaign goals, iterate on feedback, and hit deadlines.
• Stay current on social media trends, ad formats, and editing techniques that could improve Base's content.
