Who you'd be editing for: TouchTone DSG ("The Peoples Producer") — a 20-year mixing/mastering engineer building a brand around teaching real studio craft and documenting the build of an AI mixing tool. The channel is premium and credible — clean, high-end — not busy meme-edited slop. The audience is producers and engineers who respect specifics and can smell fake. Your edits represent a brand built on sound, so the bar is high — especially on audio. The role: my one ongoing long-form YouTube editor, every week — not one-off gigs. I shoot; you turn raw footage into finished, retention-optimized videos. Workload & turnaround: 1–2 long-form videos/week, ongoing (monthly). 72-hour turnaround per video from footage delivery — non-negotiable; it's what lets me publish 2x/week. Reliability matters more to me than anything else. 2 revision rounds per video. What you'll edit: educational/tutorial videos (me on camera + Ableton screen-recordings cut in sync), story/reveal videos, comment-response videos, occasionally course lessons. The style I'm after: Hook-first, retention-driven pacing — cut dead air, ums, rambles — but clean and intentional, not frantic jump-cut spam. Premium, not hyperactive. Screen-share in sync — when I explain something in Ableton, zoom/highlight the exact control or number I'm talking about. On-screen text for the key numbers (e.g. "−18 dBFS") — clean, on-brand, never cheesy. Tasteful gear/studio b-roll; consistent brand look (intro/outro, lower-thirds, fonts, colors — I'll provide assets); clean premium color. Audio is non-negotiable (the part most editors get wrong): this is a mixing/mastering channel — bad audio is brand suicide. Dialogue clean, de-noised, leveled, ~−14 LUFS, no clipping; music subtle and ducked under my voice; and when DAW mix demos / A-Bs play, they stay at honest, undistorted levels. An editor who ships muddy or clipped audio is an instant no. Technical & delivery: source is 4K (Sony A7S III, sometimes multi-cam) + Ableton screen recordings → deliver YouTube-ready MP4/H.264, 4K (1080p min) + captions. Tool is your choice (Premiere/Resolve/FCP) if the output's clean and revisions are quick. Workflow: organized raw footage + screen recordings via Google Drive, with a short beat-sheet per video. Proactive communication — flag risks early; ghosting or silent slippage is the dealbreaker. Great fit: reliable above all (consistent 72hr, communicates early) · real tutorial-editing experience · music/audio sensibility · takes direction without ego. Not in scope: shorts/clips (handled by OpusClip) and thumbnails (separate — bonus if you're strong at them). Long-form only unless we negotiate it in.

I run a YouTube channel focused on personal finance and tax planning, and I'm looking for a reliable editor to handle ongoing weekly content. I'm a CPA creating practical, educational videos — think IPO equity comp, Roth vs. Traditional 401(k), Social Security, and similar topics — and I need an editor who can make talking-head content engaging and easy to follow. What you'll be editing: Long-form videos (5–8 min) — guides and comparison videos Shorts (under 60 sec) — vertical, fast-paced, hook-driven What I'm looking for: Clean cuts that keep pacing tight and remove dead air On-screen text and simple graphics to reinforce key points (dollar amounts, comparisons, takeaways) Relevant B-roll and stock footage to break up talking-head segments Captions/subtitles A strong sense of retention editing — keeping viewers watching Bonus: experience with finance, business, or educational channels Workflow: I'll provide raw footage, a script, and notes on key on-screen text Expecting roughly 2 videos per week Looking for someone dependable for the long term, not a one-off project To apply: Share 2–3 examples of YouTube videos you've edited (finance/educational a plus) Briefly tell me what you'd do to improve retention on a talking-head finance video Let me know your rate (per video or hourly) and typical turnaround time I value clear communication and consistency. If you're someone who takes ownership of quality and hits deadlines, this could be a great long-term fit. A youtube channel I like is: https://www.youtube.com/@jasoncpa and

Looking for a creative video editor for recurring social media highlight reels I run Inclusion Fusion, a social club for neurodivergent young adults. We're built around inclusivity and belonging, and are a space where our members come to connect, make friends, have fun, and feel like they're part of something. We host regular events like Trivia Nights, Craft Nights, Girls Nights, parties, and more. After each event, I need someone to take the raw footage I filmed and turn it into a polished, high-energy highlight reel to post on our Instagram. The goal is to capture the fun, the energy, and the community vibe, so that people who weren't there wish they had been, and our members feel celebrated. Here's how it works: After each event, I'll send you a folder of all the raw video clips I took You edit them into a short, engaging highlight reel that fits Instagram (Reels format) The edit should match our brand identity and social media style (I'll provide examples of past content) Turnaround needs to be quick so we can post while the event is still fresh I'm looking for someone with a fun, creative eye for short-form social content & someone who can bring energy and personality to the edit, not just cut clips together. Ideally this becomes an ongoing working relationship as we host events regularly (almost weekly) throughout the year. Here's our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inclusionfusion

Wanted: a person who loves grammar and making corrections. My name is Toby Neighbors. I’m a full time novelist with over 120 books published. I’m seeking an enthusiastic proofreader to go through manuscripts looking for errors in grammar, spelling, missed words, and difficult sentence structure. I go over my manuscripts with Grammerly, but inevitably things get missed. I need a reliable proofreader who can read through the manuscript make minor changes, and return to me a clean copy. I typically write fast, and send my proofreader the manuscript in four sections. Each one is approximately 20k words. Once your work is complete I will send the manuscript to a panel of Beta readers who return it with any mistakes that slipped past you. I average about a book a month. I have a hard budget of $300 per manuscript (unless it goes over 100k words). I’m looking for someone who loves Sci-Fi but enjoys good stories in all genres. If that’s you, and you are interested in ongoing work, I would love to hear from you. I have attached a short sample of my latest book to give you an idea of what you’ll be working with. It is exactly what was sent to my previous editor.

I'm a first-time author with a completed military thriller (~38,000 words — reads in about 3 hours) looking for a former Naval Special Warfare operator to give it a technical accuracy pass before publication. The premise: A CIA cryptographer is attached to a SEAL element for a maritime operation against a target in Pakistan (2008). Roughly half the book covers his compressed training at Coronado; the back half is the op — submarine lockout, combat swim, surf-zone breach, cliff ascent, and the assault. What kind of book this is: Fast and lean, written for guys who don't normally read — a slow reader could easily bang this book out on a few hour flight. I'm deliberately NOT trying to be Tom Clancy. Light on technical detail by design; the story runs on pace and characters. So I don't need depth added. I need to know that what IS on the page is right, and that nothing in it would make a military guy roll his eyes and put it down. What I'm NOT asking for: deep editing or line edits. The book has been through beta readers and revision . What I am asking for: Read the manuscript (PDF) Flag anything technically wrong: gear, procedures, terminology, water work, weapons handling Flag anything culturally wrong: how the operators talk, how a Master Chief runs his team, team-room dynamics, how they'd treat an attached civilian Answer 4–5 specific questions I'll send (e.g., "What's the one thing in here that would make a Team guy put the book down?") One thing to know going in: I know the premise is ridiculous that a civilian could end up on a mission with an elite SEAL team. The story takes a deliberate fictional license — the compressed training timeline is the story's engine, and I know it's not realistic. I'm not looking for validation and I won't defend the book. If something's wrong, I want to know. Verification: I'll ask for reasonable confirmation of NSW background before we start

Overview Intrigue Studios is a New York-based video production company working with mid-size and national brands. Our work spans TV and social commercials, documentary-style brand films, testimonial videos, and ongoing content systems for brands running high-volume social and digital programs. This is a part-time freelance position with guaranteed recurring hours — not project-to-project work. The right person grows into a full-time role as our client base expands. We're at that stage now. The Role This position has two layers. Some of the work is foundational — rough cut assembly, footage organization, sync work, and preparing timelines for finishing. That's part of the job, especially early on. The rest is primary editing — taking a brief and producing a polished, client-ready cut. Pacing decisions, story structure, B-roll integration, music, titles, and delivery. How much time you spend at each level depends on your capability. An editor who can produce clean, confident work independently moves into the primary editing role faster and takes on more of it. Someone who needs more direction stays closer to the foundational work until they've earned the trust. We drive the creative direction. You execute it — and eventually, you anticipate it. What You'll Be Editing Monthly Content Systems — Recurring editing work under a monthly production retainer. Structured, repeatable workflows producing batches of social and website video assets for the same brand on an ongoing basis. This is the core of the current workload. Social Media Promos — Short-form cuts for Instagram, Facebook, and digital placements. Aspect ratio flexibility (1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9) is standard. Testimonial Videos — Interview-style cuts with B-roll integration, built for websites, social, and sales use. Explainer and Product Promo Videos — Longer-form, conversion-focused content with clear structure and messaging hierarchy. TV and Social Commercials — Broadcast-ready and digital cuts, sometimes requiring multiple spec deliverables. Brand Film Edits — Documentary-style brand stories, typically 2–5 minutes, blending interviews, B-roll, and music. Required Skills - Adobe Premiere Pro — proficient and fast. Slow editors don't work on deadline-driven client projects. - Strong editorial instincts — pacing, rhythm, knowing what to cut and why - Experience with interview and testimonial footage - Ability to work from a brief with minimal back-and-forth - Consistent communication and reliable turnaround Desired Skills (Move You to the Top) - Motion Graphics — Lower thirds, title cards, text animation. Clean and intentional. - Adobe After Effects — Compositing, motion work, Dynamic Link workflows - Color Grading — Lumetri competency at minimum. DaVinci Resolve is a plus. - Sound / Audio — Dialogue cleanup, music mixing, broadcast-level leveling. Not looking for a dedicated mixer — just someone who finishes the job properly. What to Include in Your Proposal Generic proposals won't get a response. Tell me: - What types of content you've edited most and where you're strongest - Which bonus skills you have and at what level — be specific - Links to 2–3 samples. Testimonial cuts, social promos, or commercial work preferred. Range matters. - Your typical turnaround on a short social cut (under 60 seconds) - Your desired hourly rate and weekly availability Who This Is For - Editors who are fast, confident, and don't need their hand held on execution - Someone who wants stable, recurring work — not gig-to-gig uncertainty - A collaborator who takes direction well, asks smart questions, and holds themselves to a high standard - Someone looking to grow — this position has a real path to full-time for the right person
