Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I'm a storyteller and stand-up comic looking for an editor to cut my 30-minute headline set into a polished YouTube special. The footage was shot live at Louisville Comedy Club in June 2026 — three camera angles, board audio plus room mics, professionally captured. About the material: The set is confessional storytelling comedy — marriage, parenting, family life. Think Moth StorySLAM meets comedy club. Self-deprecating, conversational, a little raunchy. The audience is part of the performance, so their reactions matter. What the edit needs: Clean multi-camera switching with strong comedic timing — you know when to hold a shot through a beat and when to cut on a laugh Audio balancing between the board feed and room mics Basic color matching across cameras Simple title card (show name, venue, date) YouTube-ready export What it doesn't need: Motion graphics, heavy effects, animated lower thirds Flashy transitions — if anything, the edit should feel invisible Experience I'm looking for: Samples of stand-up or live performance work in your portfolio Multi-camera editing experience (please mention which NLE you use) Comfortable with remote collaboration — I'd like to be on a call for the rough cut review Process: We'll start with a small paid test — one 3-minute clip from the set (~$125) — to make sure we're a good fit If that goes well, we move to the full 30-minute edit at the agreed fixed price One or two revision rounds included Timeline: aiming for completion within 3-4 weeks
