Job ID: 39902890

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

YouTube Video Editor for Horror Gaming Channel (Livestream Cutdowns)

Project Type: Ongoing — 10–20 videos per month
Video Length: Final edits will range from 5 to 45 minutes
Content Type: Horror game livestreams (raw 1–3 hour footage usually)

What I Need:
- I'm looking for a reliable YouTube video editor to help me turn my horror game livestreams into well-flowing YouTube videos.
- No need for super fancy edits — I’m not looking for heavy VFX or motion graphics.
- Just clean, structured videos that cut the fluff and highlight the gameplay in a way that keeps viewers engaged.

Editing Responsibilities:
- Remove non-essential commentary (e.g., off-topic chatter, long pauses, dead air, etc).
- Cut gameplay sections that are boring or drag (e.g., searching 20 mins for a key → trim that down).
- Keep only what’s directly related to the game and the core experience.
- Avoid hard, confusing jumps — the video should flow naturally and make sense even with cuts.
- Add a short intro for context or setup, just to ease the viewer in.
- Maintain an overall creepy/horror vibe in tone, pacing, and atmosphere.
- Deliver in 1080p (or 1440p if supported) with clean transitions, synced audio, and titles if necessary.

Style Reference:
This is the tone and format I'm aiming for — not too flashy, but well-paced and immersive:

I edited these and I'm far from an expert, but this is the general vibe I'm going for (no dramatic edits/memes or anything)

Ideal Editor:
- Experienced with long-form YouTube content (especially in gaming or horror genres)
- Understands pacing for retention and keeping viewers hooked even during exploration/dialogue
- Comfortable working with large livestream files (1–3 hours of raw footage)
- Uses Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or any pro editing tool
- Responsive to feedback and can consistently meet deadlines

Deliverables & Schedule:
- 5–20 edited videos per month
Final video duration: 10–45 minutes (this will vary, sometimes longer)
Turnaround: Within 1–2 days per video
Files delivered in upload-ready .mp4 format
