The Cowboy Experience: YouTube & Social Media Editor

Job ID: 39961926

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Video Editor for The Cowboy Experience Show (YouTube + Social Media Shorts)
About the Project:
I’m looking for a skilled video editor to join me in bringing The Cowboy Experience to life on YouTube and social media. The show blends Texas storytelling, business, leadership, and life lessons — filmed podcast-style with cinematic flair. Each episode needs to be polished for YouTube and repurposed into engaging short-form clips for platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
What You’ll Do:
Edit long-form video episodes (typically 30–60 minutes) for YouTube with dynamic pacing, branding, and storytelling flow.
Pull 5–10 high-impact short clips from each episode (15–60 seconds each) for use on social media.
Add captions, graphics, and branding elements consistent with the Cowboy Experience aesthetic (Texas grit meets cinematic storytelling).
Handle basic audio cleanup and color correction.
Deliver final exports optimized for both YouTube and vertical short formats.
Ideal Skills & Experience:
Proven experience editing podcasts, interview-style, or talk-show formats.
Strong sense of storytelling, pacing, and emotional tone.
Ability to identify viral or highly shareable soundbites for short clips.
Skilled in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (Final Cut Pro also acceptable).
Comfortable working with brand assets (logos, fonts, colors).
Creative, communicative, and consistent with deadlines.
Deliverables (per episode):
1 fully edited long-form YouTube episode
5–10 short-form social media clips (with captions & branding)
Thumbnail image suggestions (optional but a plus)
Style Reference:
Think Joe Rogan Experience meets Texas Country storytelling — clean, cinematic, and authentic.
Bonus Points If You:
Have a feel for Texas, Western, or Southern culture
Understand storytelling for business/personal development content
Can suggest titles, hooks, or captions for the short-form content
