Summary

Looking for a YouTube Shorts Editor — Suspense/Comparison Format I run a YouTube Shorts channel in a specific suspense comparison format (~60 seconds). I'm looking for a reliable editor for ongoing work. The format: Short suspense clips built around a contrast concept (example: "Normal Guy vs King of Parkour"). You source the clips yourself, cut them for maximum tension and pacing, add music and sound effects, and deliver a ready-to-upload file. No script, no voiceover — pure visual editing. What you'll do each video: - Receive a topic from me (one line, e.g. "normal swimmer vs world record swimmer") - Find and download the best raw clips for it yourself - Edit into a ~60s short that matches the channel style - Deliver within the agreed timeframe Volume: 1 video per day to start, potentially scaling to 2 per day. My role: - Give you the topic - Review the edit and give feedback What I'm looking for: - You can match and replicate an existing editing style — I'll send you reference videos - You source your own clips and know where to find good raw footage - You communicate proactively - Consistent quality, consistent deadlines How this works: We start with a single paid test short. If the quality and communication are good, we keep going. If it works long-term, I'm looking to bring someone on regularly. To apply: 1. Send 2-3 shorts you've edited — doesn't matter if it's not the same style, just show me your work 2. Tell me your rate per video and your usual turnaround time 3. Start your message with the word STRAW so I know you actually read this More details on the channel and style once we're in touch.
