Looking for a Long-Term Video Editor for a Tech & AI Content Channel

Hi, I'm a new content creator building a YouTube channel focused on technology, AI tools, developer-focused content, product reviews, explanations, and other tech-related topics. I'm looking for a video editor who is interested in building a long-term working relationship and growing alongside the channel. What the content will include: • AI and technology explanatory videos • Talking-head videos • Product and gadget unboxing videos • YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and other short-form content • Occasional tutorials, product reviews, and developer-focused content ## First project: For this first project, I need editing for two unboxing videos, each approximately 1–1.5 minutes long. What I’m looking for: • Create engaging edits that keep viewers watching • Add clean cuts, transitions, captions, zooms, B-roll, and motion graphics where needed • Understand modern YouTube and short-form content editing styles • Communicate well and be reliable • Grow with the channel over time Please apply with: 1. Examples of unboxing videos you have edited 2. Examples of tech-related or AI-related content you have edited 3. Examples of explanatory or talking-head videos you have edited 4. Your typical turnaround time Bonus skills (not required): • Experience creating YouTube thumbnails • Understanding of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and short-form content best practices • Familiarity with audience retention techniques and platform-specific editing styles • Experience working with tech, AI, SaaS, or educational content creators If you don't have these bonus skills, please still apply. About working together: I don't mind hiring new freelancers or those who are still building their profiles. What matters most is your ability to deliver high-quality work. If you can demonstrate your skills through your portfolio, previous work, sample edits, or a test task, I'm happy to consider your application regardless of your Upwork history. I'm looking for someone who is interested in building a long-term working relationship and growing alongside the channel. My budget is honestly low right now since I'm just starting out, but compensation will increase as the channel and workload grow. (I promise you this) One last thing: Start your application with a joke, a random funny fact, a funny observation, or anything that might make me laugh. (I love people with a crazy sense of humor) No pressure, just be creative. I’d rather see personality than a copy-paste proposal.
