Summary

I’m looking for a professional, creative video editor to help build a high-quality YouTube channel focused on fighting and combat-sports content. The videos will typically be around 15 minutes long. I want the editing to feel exciting, professional, cinematic, and engaging from the first few seconds all the way to the end. This is more than simply cutting clips together. I’m looking for an editor who understands storytelling, pacing, music, sound design, and YouTube audience retention. 🥊 The Editing Style I’m looking for a style that combines professional YouTube editing with the intensity of combat sports. Depending on the video, editing may include: Fast-paced cuts during exciting moments Fight highlights and key moments Slow-motion replays Cinematic transitions Impact sound effects Punch/kick/grunt sound design Background music that builds tension Professional captions and subtitles On-screen text and graphics Zoom-ins and punch-ins Freeze frames Motion graphics Visual effects when appropriate Color correction and professional grading B-roll and supporting footage Clean audio editing Smooth transitions between sections Strong opening hooks Editing designed to maintain viewer attention I do not want excessive effects just for the sake of effects. The editing should feel clean, professional, and intentional. I want the editor to know when to make a moment explosive and when to let the footage speak for itself. 🎥 What I Want the Videos to Feel Like When someone watches one of my videos, I want them to think: “This looks like a professional combat-sports production.” The videos should have energy, personality, and a strong sense of storytelling. The editor should understand how to build anticipation, create tension, emphasize important moments, and keep the viewer interested throughout a 15-minute video. 👤 The Person I'm Looking For I’m looking for someone with proven experience editing: MMA UFC-style content Boxing Kickboxing Muay Thai Martial arts Experience with combat sports is a big plus, but great editors from other sports or entertainment backgrounds are welcome to apply. You should be: Creative Professional Reliable Detail-oriented Easy to communicate with Comfortable taking direction Able to meet deadlines Able to bring your own creative ideas Interested in building a long-term working relationship 📈 Long-Term Opportunity I’m not looking for someone just for one video. I want to find an editor who can become part of the channel and help develop a consistent SG Combat editing style and brand. If we work well together, there will be opportunities for regular 15-minute videos and ongoing work as the channel grows. I want someone who is excited about building something from the ground up. 📩 How to Apply Please include the following in your proposal: 1. Your video editing portfolio 2. 2–3 examples of your best fighting, sports, action, or high-energy YouTube edits 3. Your price for editing a 15-minute video 4. Your typical turnaround time 5. What editing software you use 6. Tell me briefly how you would make a fighting video exciting and keep viewers watching ⭐ Important Please do not send a generic proposal. I want to see your actual editing work. If you have experience creating cinematic sports or combat-sports videos, show me your best work. I’m looking for an editor who can take raw footage and turn it into something exciting, professional, and worthy of a growing YouTube channel. If you think you're the right person to help build SG Combat, I’d love to hear from you. Let's create something great. 🥊🔥
