YouTube Video Editor (Project-Based)

I’m looking for a creative and reliable video editor to collaborate on YouTube videos on a project-by-project basis.

My content is direct-to-camera, educational, and typically runs between 20–60 minutes per video. The goal? Keep viewers hooked, boost watch time, and help grow a thriving channel.

???? What You’ll Be Doing

- Transform raw footage into engaging, polished long-form videos (20–60 mins each)
- Add jump cuts, captions, graphics, and B-roll to enhance viewer experience
- Incorporate music, SFX, and color correction to match the brand tone
- (Bonus!) Design scroll-stopping thumbnails that drive clicks
- Follow my content style and brand guidelines (samples provided)
- Deliver export-ready videos optimized for YouTube upload

???? You’re a Great Fit If You:

- Have proven experience editing long-form YouTube content — share links or a portfolio!
- Understand pacing, storytelling, and audience retention on YouTube
- Can confidently add captions, simple motion graphics, and animations
- Work in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar
- Are a clear communicator, open to feedback, and deliver edits on time

???? Bonus Points For:

- Experience with YouTube SEO (titles, tags, descriptions, thumbnails)
- Understanding analytics and engagement strategies to grow channels
- Background in social media management — especially if you know how to repurpose long-form content into reels, shorts, or teasers

???? How to Apply

Please include:

1. Links to 2–3 YouTube videos you’ve edited (similar length or style preferred)
2. Your typical turnaround time for a 30-minute video
3. Your rate per video (hourly or per project — specify which)

Any questions you have about the role
