Video Editor Needed — Long-Form YouTube Documentary Series
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I'm producing a 25–35 minute satirical history documentary series for YouTube. I need a reliable editor who can work from a highly structured production pipeline to deliver polished, broadcast-quality episodes on a weekly schedule.
I deliver everything pre-planned:
Master Cue Sheet

Licensed music tracks
Motion graphics
SFX library
B-roll assets
What You'll Deliver
Per Episode:
Fully edited 25–35 minute video
Intro/outro sequences and YouTube end cards
On-screen text animations
Final audio mix: music ducked under narration
2–3 Instagram/YouTube Shorts clips
Timeline: One episode per week once we're in rhythm
Required Skills
Working from a Detailed Cue Sheet
Frame-Accurate Sync
Multi-Layer Timeline Management
Narration → Visualizations → Music → B-roll → SFX
Audio Mixing & Mastering

Tools & Technical Requirements
NLE: Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve (your choice)
Audio monitoring: Headphones or studio monitors (not laptop speakers)
What I'm Looking For
Experience:

Narration-driven editing
Audio mixing to YouTube standards
Working from detailed production documents (call sheets, AV scripts, technical specs)
Rate & Schedule
Structure: Flat rate per episode
Cadence: One 25–35 minute episode per week once in rhythm
Rate Discussion: I'm open to discussing a fair per-episode rate
Revisions: Please specify how many rounds of revisions are included in your flat rate.
Looking forward to working with someone who values precision, process, and polished documentary storytelling!
