Youtube Video Editor

We're hiring experienced video editors to join our team at Spinosnack, a fast-growing YouTube channel focusing on dinosaurs and telling their stories in a fun and engaging way. This is a full-time, remote contractor role suited for editors who are dependable, efficient, and deliver high-quality work consistently.

???? ROLE OVERVIEW
Role: Full-Time Video Editor (Contractor)


Hours: ~40 hours/week


Pay: $12 CAD per finished minute


Average Video Length: 30 minutes


Expected Output: 2 videos per week


Estimated Monthly Earnings: ~$2500 - $3500 CAD


Type: Hour-based contractor (not salaried employment)

???? DEADLINES & WORKFLOW
Editors can work on their own schedule.


However, deadlines are fixed and non-negotiable.


Each project must be completed within 96 hours (4 days) of receiving the assignment.


All deadlines follow EST (Eastern Standard Time).


This is a deadline-driven workflow. Missing deadlines isn’t just a delay — it creates a domino effect:
It disrupts the upload schedule, which the algorithm punishes


It jeopardizes paid sponsorships, which can cost thousands of dollars


It undermines trust with our audience and brand partners


It puts other tea ---------- mbers’ roles at risk, from writers to thumbnail artists to project managers


If you miss a deadline, you're not just late — you're affecting the entire system.
That’s why we’re strict. That’s why there are no exceptions.


? CONSEQUENCES FOR MISSED DEADLINES OR LOW PERFORMANCE
Less than 24 hours late: 10% deduction on that video


More than 24 hours late: 25% deduction on that video


Low-quality work: 25% deduction

Poor pacing, VO alignment, or audio mix


Misuse of B-roll or lack of visual storytelling


Off-brand visual tone or effects

No delivery or ghosting (no reply for 48+ hours): No pay + removal from the team


This ensures accountability and fairness across the entire production workflow.

? PERFORMANCE BONUSES
We recognize editors who go above and beyond:
24+ hours early submission: +$15–$30
