Summary

Budget: $50 per completed video Frequency: Approximately 1 video per week Video Length: Usually around 15–20 minutes (Max 25 minutes) Potential: Long-term recurring work Hi! I’m looking for a creative YouTube video editor to work with me on my commentary channel. My channel uses a PNGTuber-style format instead of a traditional facecam, and I'm looking for someone who can help develop a recognizable editing style around my characters. 🎬 The Editing Style I'm Looking For The closest reference for the overall editing energy I want is Papa Meat / MeatCanyon's commentary videos. Example 1: https://youtu.be/gt2_oOSdHZw?si=wiCkv2oadoBRfhT- Example 2: https://youtu.be/NCddcNe1HuI?si=MSohyQ1n_vf31Tdm I'm not looking to directly copy his videos or branding, but I really like the way his commentary videos use editing as part of the entertainment. That means things like: * Relevant video clips and images appearing while I'm talking * Memes and visual jokes * Comedic sound effects * Music/background audio when appropriate * Zooms, movement, cuts, and transitions * Screenshots, articles, Reddit posts, etc. being presented visually * Good comedic timing * Occasional intentionally ridiculous edits when something I say calls for it 😂 * Knowing when to keep things simple and let a moment breathe I don't want the video to just be my audio playing over random B-roll. I want the editor to listen to what I'm saying and creatively decide how to visualize it. 👹 My Characters Are a BIG Part of the Videos I have my own original creature characters that appear throughout my videos. I'll provide PNG assets of these characters along with custom graphics I've created for the channel. For example, I have a layout where my creatures' hands come onto the screen and physically hold the image/video that the audience is watching, almost like they're presenting the footage themselves. (Attached file provides an example so you can understand the style. Example shows wooden background with creature holding image. More details can be provided) 🧍🏽 PNGTuber / My Character I also have a PNG cartoon character representing myself with multiple facial expressions and reactions. This character essentially replaces my facecam. Depending on what I'm saying, I'd like the editor to use different reactions and creatively move the character around the screen. For example, the character might appear confused, annoyed, shocked, laughing, staring at something on screen, etc. You don't need to animate the character from scratch. I will provide the PNG artwork and expressions. 📦 What I'll Provide * My recorded commentary/audio * PNGs of my character * Different facial expressions/reactions * PNGs of my creature characters * Any important images or footage specifically needed for the topic * Notes when there's something specific I want included I want the editor to handle much of the creative visual editing, including finding appropriate memes, stock footage, images, clips, sound effects, etc. when necessary. 💰 Budget & Schedule I'm currently offering $50 USD per completed video, with approximately one video every week. Most finished videos will be around 15–20 minutes long. This job opportunity is great for someone looking for extra cash, or to build experience. I'm building my channel, so I’d love to find someone interested in potentially growing with it. If we work well together, I'd much rather have one consistent editor who learns my humor, characters, pacing, and editing style then hire a different person for every video. As the channel grows and the workload/budget changes, I'm open to discussing rates again in the future. 🔎 Who I'm Looking For You'd probably be a great fit if you: * Enjoy editing YouTube commentary videos * Understand internet humor and memes * Have good comedic timing * Can make creative editing decisions without needing instructions for every single cut * Know how to keep a 15–20 minute commentary video visually interesting * Are comfortable working with PNG characters * Can source appropriate footage/images/memes when needed * Enjoy experimenting with recurring visual jokes and characters * Are interested in consistent weekly work. Any breaks would be notified in advance Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or similar software is welcome. I care more about the final result than which program you use. 📩 When Applying Please send me: 1. Examples of YouTube videos you've edited, especially commentary, reaction, meme-heavy, or PNGTuber content. If you do not have previous YouTube content, please provide example video(s) of your work instead. 2. Let me know if you're comfortable with the $50 per-video starting budget. 3. Tell me approximately how long you would need to edit a 15–20 minute video in my requested style. 4. Tell me whether you're interested in ongoing weekly work. Estimated weekly finish days would preferably be on Wednesdays. 5. Start your application with the word "CREATURE" so I know you actually read the full description. 👹 Most importantly, I'm looking for someone creative. I don't want to have to say, "put a meme here, zoom here, add this sound here" for every moment. I want an editor who can hear a ridiculous line in my commentary and immediately think: "I know exactly what would make this funnier." If that sounds like your editing style, I'd love to see your work!
