• Someone who understands YouTube pacing, hooks, and viral storytelling
• Open to feedback and able to tailor edits to my style and preference
• Good communication and consistency

Skills Required:
• Motion Graphics
• B-Roll Integration
• Sound Design
• Color Grading
• Background Work/Cleanup
• Cinematic Storytelling
• YouTube Documentary Editing

Turnaround Time:
3–10 days per video depending on project length.

Location Preference:
Abuja-based preferred, but remote editors are also welcome if the work quality is excellent.

Bonus If You:
• Watch creators like Yes Theory, drew brisky , Stephen Ndukwu, etc.
• Understand emotional storytelling and human connection in videos
• Can create both long-form YouTube videos and short viral clips for reels/TikTok

If you’re interested, send your portfolio/showreel and previous travel or documentary edits.
