Destination Video Editor for YouTube, Reels & AI-Assisted Travel Content — Long-Term

Job ID: 40516519

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I am looking for a long-term YouTube and short-form video editor to help create travel and destination-style videos for Wintergreen and Nelson County, Virginia.

The videos should feel like a helpful local travel guide, not an advertisement. The goal is to create useful destination content that helps travelers understand the area, plan their trip, and answer common questions before they visit.

This is not just a one-time montage. I am looking for someone who can help create a repeatable video style that can be used for future destinations.

The first destination will include content around Wintergreen and Nelson County, including hiking, waterfalls, wineries, breweries, restaurants, resort areas, seasonal activities, local businesses, short-term rental neighborhoods, and guest-planning information.

I need help creating:

Short vertical videos, 15–60 seconds
Longer horizontal videos, 2–5 minutes
Destination storytelling
Clean text overlays and location labels
Captions/subtitles
Simple maps or location graphics
Natural color correction
Music selection
YouTube titles, descriptions, chapters, and tags
A consistent repeatable style for future videos

The videos should be edited with search and discovery in mind, including Google search, YouTube search, local destination relevance, answer-based search, AI-assisted trip planning, and social media discovery.

Some videos may include narration or voiceover. This may be human voiceover, licensed AI narration, or an approved brand voice. The editor should be comfortable syncing narration, captions, visuals, and music in a natural, non-salesy way.

The ideal editor understands how to create videos that answer traveler questions such as:

What are the best things to do near Wintergreen?
What wineries, breweries, hikes, waterfalls, and restaurants are nearby?
Why is this location valuable for short-term rental guests?
What should visitors know before planning a trip?

Please include:

Examples of travel, tourism, real estate, local business, or YouTube videos you have edited
Any experience with YouTube optimization, captions, location-based content, SEO, or AI-assisted video workflows
Your editing software
Typical turnaround time
Pricing for a 30–60 second video
Pricing for a 2–5 minute video
Whether you are interested in ongoing long-term work

This could become ongoing work if the first project is a good fit.

First paid test project:
Edit one 30–60 second vertical video and one 2–3 minute horizontal destination video from provided footage, including captions, text labels, music, and basic YouTube description suggestions.
