About the Project We are a confidential wellness platform developing a premium video course designed to help people quit smoking and vaping (permanently) without willpower, patches, or medication. The method is rooted in cognitive reframing and behavioral psychology, and the course will be filmed with a professional spokesperson reading from a teleprompter. We have a complete, professionally written script approximately 25,000 words across five modules that has already been reviewed by a licensed therapist and behavioral health consultant. The core content is strong. What we need now is a skilled editor who can sharpen the language for on-camera delivery, improve relatability for a Gen Z and Millennial audience, and enhance the visual storytelling concepts embedded throughout. This project requires signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before any materials are shared. The platform name and full concept will not be disclosed until the NDA is executed. What You Will Be Doing You will receive the full script and be asked to: 1. Edit for teleprompter and on-camera delivery. The script will be read aloud by a spokesperson on camera. Language needs to flow naturally when spoken, not just when read. Sentences that are too long, too complex, or that create awkward pauses on camera need to be restructured. You should have a strong instinct for the difference between writing that reads well and writing that sounds well. 2. Rephrase and tighten language so it resonates naturally with a 16–35 year old audience without losing the authority and clinical grounding of the original. The tone should feel like a trusted, intelligent peer — not a health campaign, not a lecture, not a brand voice. 3. Improve or replace visual concept examples throughout the script. The script contains detailed suggestions for on-screen graphics, metaphors, and visual demonstrations. Your job is to evaluate each one and suggest alternatives that are more culturally current, more vivid, or more likely to land with a younger viewer who grew up on TikTok, YouTube, and short-form content. 4. Flag any language that feels dated, clinical, or out of touch with how young people actually talk about addiction, vaping, mental health, and identity. Suggest replacements. 5. Preserve the psychological architecture. The script follows a specific reframing methodology. You are not rewriting the method — you are improving the delivery. The logic, sequence, and therapeutic intent must remain intact. Ideal Candidate Profile You are a strong fit for this project if you: • Write and edit exceptionally well, with a clear instinct for how language sounds when spoken aloud • Have experience writing or editing scripts for teleprompter, on-camera talent, or video production • Understand how Gen Z and younger Millennials talk about mental health, habits, identity, and self-improvement • Have experience writing for or about addiction, behavioral change, wellness, or lifestyle topics • Are familiar with short-form content culture (TikTok, Reels, YouTube) and understand what makes concepts land visually for this demographic • Can work with nuance, this is not surface-level copywriting; the script has psychological depth and the edits must honor that Bonus if you have: • Experience writing for documentary, educational video, or long-form branded content • A background in psychology, behavioral health, or addiction counseling • Familiarity with the Allen Carr Easyway method or similar behavioral change frameworks • Experience writing for health and wellness brands targeting young adults Looking to get started right away. Let me know if you feel this is a good fit and why. Thank you.

I make 10–16 minute video essays about movies — box office flops, franchise disasters, behind-the-scenes stories, that kind of thing. Think documentary style, not reaction content. I need someone to take over the editing so I can focus on writing and producing. WHAT THE JOB ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE I'll send you a Final Cut Pro timeline with the voiceover already in it. The VO is fully edited on my end — voice isolation, EQ, leveling, all of that is handled. You don't touch the voiceover quality at all. It's divided into chapters with labels so you always know what part of the story you're in. Music is not in the timeline. That's on you. I'll give you a playlist of songs to pull from, and you place them where they fit. Here's what you'd be doing: - Cutting up the audio so there's no dead space and words are close together - Placing the music to match the tone and pacing of each section - Dropping in visuals to match what the voiceover is talking about — something new on screen every 4–8 seconds - Adding text here and there, like if a year gets mentioned or a name comes up. Nothing crazy, very minimal - Finding and screenshotting news headlines. My videos use a ton of these. They're pretty easy to find — just Google the headline, zoom in so the text looks clean, and screenshot it. If you're stuck on one just hit me up and I'll help you find it - No transitions. Just clean cuts. And I prefer video clips over still photos whenever possible because it keeps things more engaging, but photos throughout will be needed WHAT I GIVE YOU BEFORE EACH VIDEO I try to make this as painless as possible for whoever's editing: - A full download list of every visual you'll need — photos, clips, everything. It's all in one list so you're not digging around the internet for hours - A YouTube playlist of memes and reaction clips to use for funny moments - A playlist of songs for background music - The Final Cut Pro timeline with the VO already done and chapters labeled YOU NEED TO HAVE STORYTELLING INSTINCTS I want to be real about this — these videos tell the full story of a movie from start to finish. The production, the casting drama, the release, the box office numbers, what happened after. There's a real narrative arc to each one and the visuals need to match that energy. Like if the voiceover is talking about how a movie tanked at the box office, don't just slap a random photo up there. Throw in a SpongeBob crying clip or something that actually sells how bad it was. When the story is building up to a big premiere, the visuals should feel exciting. When everything falls apart, the editing should feel like it too. You're telling the story with me, not just filling the screen. And yeah, I use a LOT of SpongeBob clips. Most of my reaction memes and comedic cuts come from SpongeBob. If you're a SpongeBob fan you're going to have a way easier time knowing what clip goes where. PACING Right now my videos have a new visual every 1–3 seconds and honestly it's too fast. I'm slowing it down. I want the audio to still feel tight with no dead air, but the visuals should sit on screen a bit longer — every 4–8 seconds. More of a documentary feel, less TikTok energy. HOW LONG IT TAKES With my current style (new clip every 1–3 seconds), each video takes about 6–7 hours to edit. At 4–8 seconds per visual change, that drops a lot — probably 3–4 hours per video once you get the hang of my style. PAY AND TURNAROUND $125 per video. You get 4–6 days to finish each one, so you're never rushed. Every week I'll send you the next video's details and timeline on the same day — either Tuesday or Friday. There's also a $150 bonus for every 1 million view milestone any video you edit hits. So if a video blows up and hits 5 million views, you're getting $750 as a bonus on top of what you already got paid. I'll pay you every time I notice a video has passed a new milestone. WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR You need to edit in Final Cut Pro. I also need someone who can commit to 1 video a week consistently. I'm not looking for someone who disappears after two videos. If something comes up in your life that's totally fine, just communicate with me. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED Send me these things: 1. A sample of something you've edited, ideally a video essay or commentary-style video 2. Let me know you edit in Final Cut Pro 3. How fast you usually turn things around 4. A quick note about your editing background 5. Bonus points — tell me your favorite movie

I’m a casino/gambling content creator with ~400k followers across platforms, streaming on Kick and posting daily across Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. I need a reliable, fast editor I can work with every day: I send you batches of raw footage a few times a week, you send back finished, platform-ready videos that keep the daily posting schedule full. This is a high-volume, high-trust role for someone who understands that Reels, Shorts, and Facebook Reels each have their own algorithm — the same clip often needs different pacing, hooks, captions, and covers per platform.

Project Overview I am seeking an experienced children's book editor to review and refine a manuscript based on a true story about a 9-year-old girl who survived a small airplane crash with her father. The book focuses on courage, family, faith, healing, resilience, and emotional recovery. It is intended for elementary-aged readers and may eventually be distributed through schools, libraries, and online retailers. What I Need The manuscript has already been written, but portions of it currently read more like an adult reflecting on the experience rather than a 9-year-old child telling the story. I am looking for an editor who can: * Refine the manuscript to sound authentic to a fourth-grade reader * Preserve the emotional impact and true events of the story * Improve pacing and readability * Reduce repetition where appropriate * Help adapt the manuscript into a children's picture book format (approximately 24 pages) * Maintain faith-based themes and family-centered messaging * Provide recommendations for age-appropriate language and school-readiness Ideal Experience Please apply if you have experience with: * Children's picture books * Middle-grade or elementary readers * Developmental editing * Voice and character consistency * Faith-based or inspirational children's books (preferred but not required) Deliverables * Edited manuscript with tracked changes * Suggestions for strengthening the child's voice * Recommendations for condensing sections while preserving the story * Feedback regarding pacing and overall structure Please include examples of children's books you have edited or links to relevant work. Thank you. I look forward to finding someone who can help preserve the heart of this story while making it resonate with young readers.
