I’m looking for a video editor for a YouTube channel in the bodycam, police encounter, and arrest footage niche. The idea is pretty simple. We find videos in this niche that are already doing well, then re edit them with a better style, a better angle, stronger pacing, and a more engaging story. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. We want to take what works, improve it, and make it feel more unique. The main thing I care about is retention. The video needs a strong intro hook, good cuts, a real sounding AI voice, and pacing that keeps people watching. Our goal is to aim for around 46% average percentage viewed or better. It would also be a plus if you know how to reverse engineer videos and find the original unedited footage. For example, taking screenshots from a video and using Google image search to track down the original source. The edit should feel clean, entertaining, and easy to watch. Nothing too over edited or fake looking. Just a better version of what already works. My budget is low right now because the channel is still growing, but I am looking for someone long term. As the channel grows, the budget will increase too. Please send me a few examples of videos you have edited and let me know what rate you are thinking per video. Thank you.
