Podcast Editor (Audio + Video + Short-Form Clips) — Ongoing, Riverside multitrack

Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

About the work I'm launching a new conversational podcast co-hosted by two siblings. Episodes are recorded on Riverside.fm and run roughly 45–60 minutes unedited. I'm looking for one editor to partner with ongoing, ideally weekly to biweekly once we're in rhythm. We're launching with both audio and video. Audio for podcast platforms and a full video episode for YouTube plus short-form clips. I care most about editing craft: pacing, clean cuts, knowing what to trim not fancy production. The show is casual and authentic, so the edit should preserve natural conversation, not over polish it into radio. Deliverables (per episode) 1. Podcast audio edit Remove long dead air, major filler, and false starts (light touch — keep it human) Noise cleanup and leveling, delivered to a standard podcast loudness (~ -16 LUFS stereo / -19 LUFS mono) Intro and outro stitched in (I'll provide assets) Final file as MP3, ready to upload to a podcast host 2. YouTube video edit Full episode, 1080p, both speakers synced Cuts carried over from the audio edit so the two versions stay in sync Simple lower-thirds / branding (I'll provide assets) Final file as MP4, ready to upload to YouTube 3. Short-form clips 3 vertical (9:16) clips per episode, 30–60 seconds each Captioned (burned-in), hook in the first 2 seconds, sized for Instagram Reels / TikTok / YouTube Shorts You choose the moments, but I'll flag any I want pulled Source files Recordings come from Riverside as separate high-quality local tracks (per-person audio + video). Please confirm you know to work from the local multitrack files, not the live-stitched recording. Budget Flat per episode rate, not hourly. Please quote for the full bundle above (audio + video + clips). To apply, please include Your flat per-episode quote for the full bundle (audio + video + 3 clips), and your first episode rate if it differs Three samples: one full-episode audio edit, one full-episode video edit, and one vertical captioned clip Confirmation you've worked with Riverside multitrack local files Your typical turnaround time per episode What loudness target you deliver podcasts at Keep the application short. A few samples and straight answers tell me more than a long pitch. Thanks!
