How does AI help with hiring video editors?

Selfwork AI turns your project description into a structured edit brief — length, style, assets, deadlines, and budget.
It then matches you with editors whose skills and experience fit your workflow.

How do I find a video editor with Selfwork?

Describe your footage, deliverables, and platform (YouTube, ads, social, internal) in plain language.
AI structures the brief and surfaces editors who match your timeline and budget.

How does AI match editors to my project?

AI compares your brief with editor profiles, tools, turnaround patterns, and relevant work signals.
You review a short shortlist instead of scrolling hundreds of portfolios.

What is pricing based on?

Pricing depends on runtime, complexity (graphics, color, sound), revisions, and how tight the deadline is.
You see a realistic range before you commit.

Can I chat with the editor before paying?

Yes. Align on timeline, revision rounds, export specs, and handoff before you fund the project.
AI keeps the brief clear so expectations match from day one.

Is my payment protected?

Funds are held in escrow and released after you approve the delivery.
If something goes wrong, dispute support is available.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Fees and payment terms are shown clearly before checkout.

How is this different from classic freelance marketplaces?

Instead of endless browsing, Selfwork helps you brief once, match faster, and hire editors with escrow-backed delivery.
You spend less time on admin and more time shipping finished video.
