Sports Debate YouTube Editor Needed (Long-Form + Short Form Content)

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm building a sports debate and storytelling YouTube channel called **RIVALRY**. RIVALRY is focused on creating highly engaging sports content that sparks discussion, debate, strong opinions, and emotion. We cover the biggest rivalries, controversies, legends, failures, rankings, fan arguments, and defining moments across all major sports. This is **NOT** a highlights channel. This is **NOT** ESPN-style news. This is **NOT** a podcast with gameplay footage in the background. The content style is built around strong storytelling, audience retention, and engaging visual presentation. Videos should feel dynamic, entertaining, and designed to keep viewers watching from start to finish. The editing style should be fast-paced and retention-focused. Videos should constantly introduce new visuals, graphics, animations, statistics, clips, and storytelling elements to maintain viewer interest throughout the entire video. Videos focus on topics such as: * Best vs Worst * Most Loved vs Most Hated * GOAT vs FRAUD * Historic Rivalries * Sports History * Dynasty vs Underdog Stories * Greatest Comebacks * Biggest Busts * Most Hated Athletes * Legendary Teams and Players Simular Content: https://www.youtube.com/@spideyparkeryt (There niche is the MCU) Requirements: * Strong storytelling and long-form YouTube editing skills * Fast-paced editing with excellent pacing and retention techniques * Motion graphics and animated visual elements * Ability to source clips, photos, statistics, and supporting visuals * Strong understanding of YouTube audience retention * Experience editing long-form YouTube content * Knowledge of major sports including: * NFL * NBA * Soccer/Football * MLB/Baseball * Ability to understand sports narratives, rivalries, player histories, and major moments across multiple leagues To apply: 1. Send your best long-form YouTube edit. 2. Tell me your favorite sports YouTube channel. 3. Tell me what sports you actively follow. 4. Tell me why your editing style would fit RIVALRY. 5. Share any sports-related projects you have worked on. Budget: Negotiable depending on quality and experience.
