YouTube Video Editor for Youtube Automation Channel
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I'm launching a YouTube channel focused on analytical video essays — deep-dive breakdowns of iconic films and TV series that expose the hidden structure, performances, and thematic choices behind stories people love.
Think: long-form, intelligent, visually engaging content in the style of channels like Lessons from the Screenplay or Thomas Flight — but with our own distinct identity.
I'm looking for a professional video editor to bring these essays to life on an ongoing basis.

WHAT THE JOB INVOLVES
Each video will be 15–20 minutes long. I will provide:
- A fully written script
- A recorded voiceover
You will be responsible for:
- Sourcing relevant film/TV clips, stills, and visual references
- Finding or selecting fitting background music and sound design
- Building the full edit from scratch in a clean, polished, editorial style
- Adding text overlays, motion graphics, and visual emphasis where appropriate
- Delivering a publish-ready file
---
PAY
$15–20 per finished video, with room to increase for editors who consistently deliver quality work on time.
---
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Proven experience editing YouTube videos (especially long-form or essay-style content)
- Strong portfolio showing you can match a clean, intellectual visual tone — not flashy or meme-heavy
- Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects knowledge is a plus)
- Fluent in English — you need to understand the script well enough to match visuals to meaning
- Reliable and able to deliver within a 48-hour turnaround
- Detail-oriented: syncing cuts to narration rhythm, not just slapping clips together
---
STYLE NOTES
The tone is sharp, focused, and editorial — like a well-designed documentary meets a film school lecture. Visuals should support and elevate the argument being made in the script, not distract from it. We're not looking for fast cuts and flashy transitions; we're looking for purposeful, well-paced editing that keeps a viewer engaged for 15+ minutes.

ATTENTION CHECK
If you've read this far, please include your favorite animal at the start or end of your proposal. Applications without it will not be considered — this tells us you read carefully, which is exactly the kind of attention to detail we need.
---
If this sounds like a great fit, send over your proposal along with 2–3 examples of your most relevant editing work. Long-form or essay-style YouTube samples are strongly preferred.
Looking forward to building something great together.
