A strong portfolio is the backbone of every video editor’s career. With Cutjamm, you don’t have to spend days setting up a website or figuring out design tools. Instead, you can build and launch your portfolio right inside the onboarding process. By the time you finish signing up, your site is live, shareable, and ready to land clients.

This guide walks you through the onboarding flow step by step, explains the Feed feature for visibility, and highlights why Cutjamm stands out from other portfolio platforms.

Step 1: Create Your Cutjamm Account

Head over to www.cutjamm.com and sign up using your social login. Once you’re in, onboarding begins automatically.

Step 2: Set Up Your Basic Profile

In this step, you’ll define your identity:

• Choose whether you’re a video editor, motion graphic designer, agency, or other role.

• Enter your name.

• Select a unique username.

  💡 Note: Your username becomes part of your portfolio URL (e.g., cutjamm.com/yourusername).

• Add your location so clients know where you’re based.

Step 3: Upload Your Best Cuts

Cutjamm lets you upload videos, reels, or links directly during onboarding.

You don’t need to go into the app later—your best projects will already appear on your live portfolio once onboarding is complete.

Add your strongest projects by filling in:

• Project Title

• Category (e.g., commercials, short films, reels, VFX)

• Your Role/Contribution (editing, color grading, motion design, etc.)

• Tags/Hashtags to improve discoverability

• Links (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, etc.)

• Thumbnail or GIF (GIFs add interactivity on hover)

Each project you add is instantly formatted into a clean showcase on your portfolio.

Step 4: Add Profile Details

Now it’s time to make your portfolio personal:

• Profile Photo

• Portfolio Title (e.g., “John Doe | Video Editor & Colorist”)

• Short Bio introducing yourself

• Showreel (optional but highly recommended)

Step 5: Add Social Links

Make it easy for clients to connect with you by adding your social profiles. You can include:

• Instagram

• LinkedIn

• YouTube

• Twitter/X

These links give clients additional ways to see your work and contact you.

Step 6: Publish and Share Your Portfolio

Once onboarding is complete, your portfolio is automatically live. You can directly copy the url in your browser and send to clients, post on social media, or include in your resume.

The Feed: Get Discovered by Clients

One of Cutjamm’s most powerful features is the Feed—a curated space showcasing top editors and their projects.

Here’s how it works:

• Request an invite from your portfolio or directly in the feed.

• Once reviewed and approved, your portfolio gets listed.

• Clients browsing the feed can search by project type, view your work, and contact you directly through Cutjamm.

This gives you visibility far beyond a static portfolio. Instead of sending cold emails, your work gets in front of clients actively searching for editors.

Why Cutjamm Stands Out for Video Editors

Unlike traditional portfolio platforms, Cutjamm is built specifically for editors and creators:

• Job Board Access – Find freelance or full-time editing gigs directly on the platform.

• Pro Features – Upgrade to Pro for advanced tools like organized folders, project sorting, and a cleaner, more customizable layout.

• Sell Assets – Use Cutjamm as a distribution hub to sell your editing assets, templates, or stock elements. This creates a new revenue stream while showcasing your skills.

• Custom Domain Integration – Use your own domain name for your portfolio while still enjoying the benefits of Cutjamm’s hosting and features.

Once your portfolio is live:

1. Share your link everywhere—on social platforms, resumes, and client proposals.

2. Request an invite to the Feed for added visibility.

3. Keep updating your projects to stay relevant and showcase fresh work.

4. Join the waitlist for the Pro version to unlock advanced features and monetization opportunities.

Cutjamm helps you go beyond just showcasing work—it positions you to get discovered, get hired, and even generate revenue from your creative assets.
