What You’ll Be Editing * 1+ long-form YouTube videos per week * Average video length: ~30 minutes * Business / entrepreneurship / educational-style content * Primarily talking-head footage, potentially mixed with podcast/interview footage Editing Style We’re looking for clean, modern YouTube editing that keeps retention high without being obnoxiously over-edited. This may include: * Removing dead space, mistakes, and unnecessary sections * Clean cuts and pacing * Punch-ins / zooms when appropriate * B-roll * Screenshots / screen recordings * Text and callouts * Simple motion graphics * Sound effects when appropriate * Background music when appropriate * Basic color correction / audio cleanup * Creating a strong opening/hook for the video You should understand storytelling and retention, not just Premiere Pro. What We’re Looking For * Experience editing long-form YouTube videos * Strong sense of pacing and storytelling * Reliable communication * Consistent turnaround times * Ability to take feedback and improve * Attention to detail * Someone interested in a long-term working relationship, not just a one-off project There will be consistent weekly work for the right editor. To Apply Please send: 1. 2–3 examples of long-form YouTube videos you’ve personally edited 2. Your typical turnaround time for a 30-minute finished video 3. Your rate per completed 30-minute video 4. What editing software you use 5. How many long-form videos you can realistically handle per week Please do not send a generic portfolio with 50 links.
