Music Editor Needed — Find/Compose Music for YouTube & Documentary Content
Worldwide
I'm looking for a music editor to collaborate with me on a few upcoming video projects, including YouTube content and a documentary series. Music plays a huge role in the emotional impact of my work, and I need someone with a strong ear for pacing, tone, and feel — someone who can find (or compose) music that elevates the story rather than just filling silence. What I need help with: Finding licensed/library music that matches the emotional arc of a video Syncing music to cuts, pacing, and key moments Open to original composition if you write/produce music as well Occasional light mixing/mastering of final audio (nice to have, not required) Ideal candidate: Strong music supervision or sync editing experience (YouTube, documentary, or brand content) Great taste across genres — able to match music to mood, not just aesthetic Familiar with licensing (Artlist, Musicbed, Epidemic Sound, etc.) or has original catalog Can turn around work reliably across multiple projects To apply, please include: A few examples of your sync/music editing work (links preferred) Whether you primarily source licensed music, compose, or both Your typical turnaround time
