Shorts Specialist for YouTube: Turn 15-Min History Videos into Viral 40-Sec Shorts

Hi everyone! We are running an established, fast-growing YouTube channel in the History Niche. Our content uses a unique, engaging "Sticky Style" (stick-figure animation) to tell fascinating historical stories. We are looking for a highly talented, extremely creative, and reliable video editor who can take our content to the next level and help us expand our reach through YouTube Shorts. This is a long-term opportunity for the right person. What the Role Involves: Long-form Editing (10–15 Minutes): You will edit our main historical videos, ensuring great pacing, visual engagement, and smooth storytelling using our assets and animation style. Shorts Creation (approx. 40 Seconds): You will extract the most compelling parts of the long-form video to create high-energy, attention-grabbing Shorts designed to act as "advertisements" to drive traffic to the main channel. Creative Scriptwriting / Re-imagining: This is crucial. You aren’t just cutting clips; you need to look at the finished video, write a fresh, snappy, hook-heavy script for the 40-second Short, and present the topic in a completely new, ultra-interesting way. What We Are Looking For: Pure Creativity: You know how to grab an audience's attention in the first 3 seconds and keep them hooked. Storytelling Skills: You understand pacing, tension, and humor. You can rewrite and restructure content to make it punchy. 100% Reliability: We run a professional channel. Deadlines are sacred to us. We need someone who communicates clearly and delivers on time. Experience with YouTube Shorts/TikToks: You know what makes a video go viral (hooks, dynamic captions, sound design). Experience or interest in history is a huge plus! What We Offer: Consistent, ongoing work (multiple videos per month). Creative freedom – we want your ideas and your unique spin on things. A professional, respectful, and organized workflow. How to Apply: Please start your application with the word "HISTORY" so we know you’ve read the whole post. In your application, please include: A brief introduction about yourself and your experience. Links to your portfolio (specifically long-form video edits and short-form content like TikToks/Shorts). Your rate per video package (1 Long-form + 1 Short). We can’t wait to see your creativity! R.E.M.Media
