Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm looking for a reliable video editor to help edit long-form YouTube videos (10–12 minutes each). These are talking head and screen recording videos — no crazy edits needed, just clean, engaging cuts that keep viewers watching. What I need: Jump cuts to remove pauses, filler words, and dead air Zoom in/zoom out for emphasis and visual variety Simple attention-holding effects (text pop-ups, sound effects, subtle zooms/pans) — nothing overly flashy Basic color correction if needed Add captions/subtitles (style guidance will be provided) Light B-roll insertion if I provide clips (occasional, not required every video) What I'll provide: Raw footage (talking head and/or screen recordings) Reference videos showing the editing style I like Brand assets (intro/outro, lower thirds, fonts, etc.) Clear notes/timestamps if there are specific cuts I want Requirements: Experience editing YouTube long-form content (please share examples/portfolio) Strong sense of pacing — comfortable trimming dead space without making it feel choppy Fast, clear communication and ability to meet deadlines Comfortable with a flat rate of $20 per video (10–12 min final length) Available for ongoing, recurring work if it's a good fit To apply, please include: A link to 2–3 similar long-form videos you've edited Your typical turnaround time per video Software you edit in (Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, etc.) This is a long-term opportunity for the right person — I plan to post videos consistently and would love to build an ongoing working relationship with someone who "gets" the style quickly.
