Applying for Social Video Editor

Hi, Babylist.
I'm Daniel. Your next Social Video Editor.

I'm a filmmaker, video editor, and AI creative based in Miami. I build stories that move people, and I move fast doing it. I care deeply about craft, clarity, and empathy in every frame, and I believe Babylist's mission to support growing families deserves content that truly resonates.

Performance meets storytelling.
Speed meets craft.

You need someone who can produce daily high-quality edits, iterate on performance data, and still bring heart and creativity to every piece. That's exactly how I work.

Storytelling-First Editor

I'm currently producing an AI-assisted short film and run Festival Sintetica, an AI Film Festival. I understand narrative pacing, rhythm, tone, and how to hold attention from the first frame to the last. Every edit I make serves a story.

Matches: Strong instincts for pacing, rhythm, tone

High-Output, Fast Turnaround

My workflow is built for speed. I use AI tools and Adobe automation scripts to iterate rapidly without sacrificing quality. Daily edits, quick pivots, and performance-driven iterations are my comfort zone.

Matches: High-output, fast-paced environment

Performance-Minded Creative

I've built interactive pitch decks and conversion-focused web experiences. I understand metrics like thumbstop rate, retention curves, CTR, and how to optimize hooks and pacing based on real data to drive results.

Matches: Performance-driven, conversion-focused

Empathy for the Audience

Content for parents-to-be during life's biggest transition demands sensitivity, warmth, and trust. I bring thoughtfulness to every edit, making sure content feels helpful and human, not just polished.

Matches: Trust, clarity, empathy for parents
🎬

Platform-Native Thinking

I create content tailored for each platform. Vertical for Reels/TikTok, square for feeds, widescreen for YouTube. I understand platform behaviors, trends, and what makes content feel native rather than repurposed.

Matches: Platform-native, multi-channel output
🎨

Full Creative Toolkit

Adobe Premiere, After Effects, motion graphics, animated captions, text overlays, color grading, sound design. I also build websites and brand experiences, bringing a holistic creative perspective to everything I touch.

Matches: Premiere, After Effects, light motion

How I'd make an impact
from day one.

01

Learn the Brand DNA

Immerse myself in Babylist's existing content, tone, and visual language. Understand what "helpful, human, and trustworthy" looks like in every format and channel.

02

Build a Speed System

Set up AI-assisted editing templates, brand presets, and reusable motion graphics to maximize creative velocity while keeping every output on-brand.

03

Test, Learn, Iterate

Work closely with the Acquisition team to review performance data, experiment with hooks, pacing, and formats, then rapidly iterate based on what the numbers tell us.

AI isn't a shortcut.
It's a superpower.

Babylist embeds AI intentionally into how you work, create, and scale. So do I. I use AI not to replace creative thinking, but to amplify it. Faster iterations, more creative experiments, and more time spent on what matters: making content that helps parents feel confident and cared for.

I believe the best content comes from caring about the people on the other side of the screen. Babylist helps families through one of life's most beautiful transitions, and I want to make sure every video I edit reflects that care. I bring craft, speed, empathy, and a genuine excitement to be part of a team building something this meaningful.

Let's create content
families remember.

I'm ready to bring storytelling, speed, and heart to the Babylist creative team.
