Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

I run a cinematic football documentary YouTube channel called Football Unpacked. I'm looking for a reliable video editor for a ongoing series of short-form documentary videos (5–7 minutes) during the FIFA World Cup 2026 period. What the videos look like: Cinematic, story-driven football documentaries. Think MagnatesMedia or HITC Sevens but focused entirely on football. Dark, premium aesthetic. Voiceover-led with match footage, archive clips and atmospheric stock footage cuts underneath. What you'll receive for every video: - Full voiceover MP3 (already recorded) - Complete script with section timestamps - Footage brief telling you exactly which clips to use and where - Music direction What I need from you: Clean assembly edit following the brief Colour grade (cinematic/dark tone — I'll share reference) Music bed placed at correct levels under voiceover Subtitles if required Delivered via Google Drive as MP4, 1080p, 25fps Budget: $45 per video Timeline: Each video turned around within 4 days MAX of receiving the brief Volume: 1–2 videos per week during World Cup period (June–July 2026) To apply, please send one example of football or sports YouTube content you have edited. Applications without examples will not be considered. To show you've read this post in full, start your application with the words: Unpacked and Ready.
