Description: I’m looking for a skilled video editor to help grow my YouTube channel, which began in January 2024 and has attracted over 6K subscribers. My channel focuses on technology reviews and tutorials for a smarter, more productive home, with an emphasis on home automation. I need someone for ongoing work, ideally with experience editing tech product review and tutorial-related content. Thumbnail design is not required, but a plus.
Responsibilities: • Edit engaging YouTube videos (typically 10-20 minutes long). • Add motion graphics, animations, and text where necessary. • Improve pacing, storytelling, and engagement. • Optimize audio, color grading, and effects. • Follow and refine a consistent brand style. • Deliver content in a timely manner (e.g., 1-2 videos per week).
Requirements: • Proven experience editing YouTube-style content (please provide examples). • Strong skills in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. • Ability to enhance engagement through cuts, pacing, music, and effects. • Understanding of YouTube trends, retention, and storytelling techniques. • Good English-language communication skills and ability to take feedback.
Bonus Skills (Not Required, But a Plus): • Experience creating eye-catching thumbnails using Photoshop, Canva, or similar optimized for high CTR. • Experience creating short-form content (Shorts, Reels). • Knowledge of SEO, metadata, and YouTube analytics.
How to Apply: If you’re interested, please provide the following: 1. Links to your best video editing work (preferably YouTube-related). 2. Examples of thumbnails you’ve designed (if applying as a thumbnail designer). 3. Your rates in $USD per video (or thumbnail). 4. Your availability (how many videos you can edit per week).
Top candidates may be asked to edit the first 60 seconds of raw footage, and send it back for final evaluation.
I’m looking for someone reliable who can grow with my channel long-term. If you’re passionate about video editing and YouTube, I’d love to hear from you!
