Do you obsess over cuts, pacing, and punchlines?

Do you have strong opinions about how long a TikTok should be?

Does your “For You Page” feel like a secret masterclass in storytelling?

If you’re still reading, COOL STORY is looking for a Video Editing Intern to help us turn raw footage into highly watchable, highly shareable content.

Video Editing Intern (Remote)

This internship is designed for students or early-career creatives who want hands-on experience editing content for brands, creators, and online channels. You'll work directly with COOL STORY’s internal team to shape short-form and long-form videos across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

The goal? To give you a crash course in real-world post-production, while leveling up your storytelling instincts for today’s internet.

Responsibilities include:

● Editing short-form videos (under 60 seconds) and longform YouTube content
● Organizing and handling footage using shared drives
● Creating thumbnails, reels covers, and other supporting visuals
● Studying trends and adapting edits accordingly
● Collaborating with our team on creative reviews and revisions
● Potential to work on client-facing content (depending on experience)

This internship is for you if:

● You’re fluent in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
● You’ve edited TikToks, Reels, or YouTube videos — either for yourself or others
● You care about pacing, punchlines, and polish
● You know how to organize footage and keep a project tidy
● You’re not afraid to give or receive feedback
● You understand what makes content feel “current” — and why that matters
● Bonus: You like to shoot your own stuff and own a decent camera
