Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

I am looking for a talented, reliable, and creative YouTube video editor to join my team on a long-term basis. The channel focuses on CrossFit and functional fitness explainer videos, and I am looking for someone who can take a script and voiceover that I provide and turn them into engaging, entertaining, and visually compelling videos. What You'll Be Doing I will provide: - The completed script - The voiceover Your job will be to create the visual side of the video by sourcing and editing clips, images, graphics, and other visual elements that complement the narration. The editing should feel artistic, creative, humorous, and engaging, rather than simply placing random stock footage over the voiceover. You will be responsible for finding and incorporating three main types of visuals: -Video clips with audio -Video clips without audio -Images You will also add appropriate graphics, transitions, text, and light animations where needed (e.g., title screens, diagrams, emphasis, etc.). Background music must always be copyright-free. Videos will generally be 8–10 minutes long, unless otherwise specified. Requirements: The following are a must: - Speak fluent English - Communicate clearly and effectively - Have a strong creative eye - Be comfortable with humour and comedic timing - Consistently meet a 3-day-or-less turnaround - Be willing to go the extra mile - Be open to long-term, consistent work - Have strong attention to detail - Be able to source appropriate, high-quality visuals independently Familiarity with YouTube trends, content styles, and automation workflows is a plus. What I'm Looking For: I do have high expectations, but there is a reason for that. If you can consistently produce high-quality work that meets the standard I'm looking for, there will be consistent work available and you will be compensated well for it. Important The visual quality of these videos is extremely important to me. You should be able to watch the voiceover, understand what is being said, and creatively determine what the viewer should be seeing at each point in the video. I don't want an editor who simply follows the script word-for-word and throws generic stock footage on the screen. I want someone who can make good creative decisions and help make the videos entertaining, informative, and visually engaging. If you have read this job description, please include your favourite cartoon from when you were a kid at the end of your proposal. This workflow is the standard format I follow across my videos, although specific requirements may vary from project to project. I look forward to hearing from you.
