Project Title

On-Call Podcast Editor & Publisher – Riverside to YouTube, Apple & Spotify + Short Clips



Project Description

Hello,

I host a video podcast called FilterLIFE, presented by a veteran-led nonprofit organization. We record using Riverside.fm and are looking for a professional podcast editor who can handle post-production and publishing.
Here is on of our episodes: https://youtu.be/WuVvN6yqB-w?si=b0d8Qyu-zzi7XGb_

We currently have a backlog of approximately 4 recorded episodes ready for editing, and we are looking to build a relationship with a reliable editor we can confidently call on for future special guest episodes.

We do not have a fixed weekly schedule at this time. This would be project-based, with potential for ongoing work as we grow.



What We Need

1️⃣ Long-Form Episode Production

For each episode:

• Edit Riverside video for pacing, clarity, and retention
• Clean audio (noise reduction, leveling, compression)
• Remove awkward pauses and errors
• Add intro/outro (provided)
• Light branding elements (logo, subtle graphics if appropriate)
• Export final 16:9 YouTube-ready video
• Export audio file for podcast platforms

Editing should feel professional and authentic — not overproduced or flashy.



2️⃣ Publishing Support

Preferred (not mandatory):

• Upload to YouTube with SEO-friendly title, description, and tags
• Upload audio to podcast hosting platform
• Ensure distribution to Apple Podcasts and Spotify

Please specify if you have experience with podcast hosting platforms.



3️⃣ Short-Form Clips

From each episode:

• 3–5 vertical clips (9:16)
• Strong hook within first 3 seconds
• Subtitles (burned-in captions)
• Optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts

Clips should be emotionally compelling and drive traffic to the full episode.



Workflow

• We provide raw Riverside files
• You may edit in your preferred professional software
• We must receive final exported files
• Access to project/source files upon request



Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience editing long-form YouTube podcasts
• Understands retention and pacing
• Can create high-performing short clips
• Communicates clearly
• Is comfortable working on a project-by-project basis

Please provide:

• 2–3 podcast editing examples
• 2–3 vertical clip examples
• Estimated turnaround time per 60-minute episode
• Pricing per episode (preferred over hourly)

If this is a strong fit, we are interested in building a long-term working relationship.

Thank you.
