Video Editor for YouTube and Shorts

## Video Editor — Weekly YouTube + Daily Short-Form Content I’m looking for a reliable video editor for an ongoing content operation producing both long-form YouTube videos and daily short-form content. The editing style should feel fast, modern, entertaining, and internet-native without becoming excessively overedited. ### Weekly long-form content Approximately **one 10–15 minute YouTube video per week**. Editing may include: * Cleaning up pacing and removing unnecessary pauses * Jump cuts * Music and sound effects * Images and screenshots overlaid on screen * Video/B-roll overlays * Headlines, tweets, articles, charts, or other references * Occasional memes or comedic visual inserts * Simple motion graphics * Text emphasis when useful * Basic audio balancing and color correction I’ll generally provide the primary footage and direction. You should also be comfortable finding appropriate supplementary visuals when needed. ### Daily short-form content Approximately **1–2 short-form videos per day** for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. These will generally follow established templates, so once the workflow is created they should be relatively straightforward to produce. Typical editing may include: * Cutting clips to approximately 15–90 seconds * Captions * Hook/title text * Image or screenshot overlays * Basic sound effects * Simple zooms/cuts * Formatting for vertical video ### Turnaround is important For daily short-form content, I need someone who can reliably deliver assigned videos **before the end of the day**. I’m specifically looking for someone who can become part of an ongoing content workflow rather than treating every video as a separate freelance project. ### Ideal candidate You: * Understand YouTube, TikTok, Reels, and Shorts pacing * Have good comedic/editorial instincts * Can follow a repeatable visual style * Are comfortable receiving frequent batches of content * Communicate quickly if something will miss a deadline * Can work independently without needing extremely detailed instructions on every edit * Are interested in a long-term working relationship Experience editing commentary, politics, news, educational, personality-driven, or documentary-style YouTube content is especially useful. ### When applying Please send: 1. 2–4 examples of your best long-form edits 2. 2–4 examples of short-form edits 3. Your timezone 4. Your typical working hours 5. Your pricing for: * One weekly 10–15 minute YouTube video * 1–2 daily short-form videos * Or a monthly retainer covering both Please also tell me approximately how quickly you can turn around a short-form edit after receiving the footage.
