Gaming Video Editor Needed – Hollow Knight Highlights

Job ID: 40510653

Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR

About the Project

I am a gaming content creator looking for a long-term video editor to transform my livestreams into engaging, retention-focused YouTube highlight videos.

The content is primarily:

Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Indie Metroidvania games
Boss fights
Exploration
Funny moments
Clutch gameplay
Reactions and commentary

This is a long-term opportunity, as I currently have multiple livestreams ready for editing and will continue producing new content regularly.

What You Will Do

Convert a livestream (approximately 2 hrs) into an engaging YouTube highlight video of approximately 8–10 minutes.

Your job is not simply cutting footage.

You should:

Identify the most entertaining moments
Build a story/progression throughout the video
Keep pacing fast and engaging
Remove dead air and repetitive sections
Highlight funny reactions and important gameplay moments
Focus on viewer retention
Editing Style Required

The editing style should be similar to modern gaming creators.

Include:

Dynamic cuts
Zoom-ins and punch-ins
Sound effects when appropriate
Motion graphics when needed
Subtitles for important moments
Funny edits only when they fit naturally
Boss introductions
Progression tracking
Tension building before difficult fights
Cinematic moments where appropriate

The final video should feel entertaining even to viewers who have not watched the livestream.

For each livestream:

Main Video
Length: 8–10 minutes
Resolution: 1920×1080

Ability to identify entertaining moments
Knowledge of memes, sound effects, and gaming culture
Strong communication
