JOB OVERVIEW

YouTube Video Editor (Long-Form and Short From Commentary)

Freelance / Contract — Ongoing Work

I’m looking for a highly organized, fast, and technically strong Video Editor to support a high-output commentary and content workflow. This role is not about flashy motion graphics or final polish—that work is handled by an external post-production agency. Your primary responsibility is to take raw footage ? locked, structured edits that are ready for handoff.

This role exists to speed up my daily workflow, improve pacing and structure at the raw-edit stage, and help scale a repeatable editorial system as output increases.

?

Core Responsibilities
• Edit raw 4K footage into clean, well-paced commentary-style cuts
• Shape flow, pacing, and structure of recordings in collaboration with me
• Prepare and deliver organized Premiere Pro project files for external handoff
• Ensure seamless transfer using proper project organization and XML workflows
• Color correct and normalize LOG footage (not final grade, but clean and accurate)
• Occasionally take simpler projects start-to-finish when polish is not required
• Build and maintain editing templates, presets, and documented processes to support scaling

?

Required Skills & Qualifications
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
• Strong understanding of commentary, talking-head, and long-form content pacing
• Experience working with LOG footage and proper color correction workflows
• Extremely organized with project files, timelines, bins, naming conventions, and exports
• Comfortable working with large 4K files
• Fast, reliable internet connection (ideally 1 Gbps) for large file transfers
• Ability to think in systems and workflows, not just individual edits
• Clear communication and comfort collaborating closely on structure and creative direction

?

Nice to Have (Not Required, but a Big Plus)

These are not mandatory, but will strongly differentiate candidates:
• Social media and content strategy knowledge
• Ability to create simple graphics or visual assets
• Experience managing social accounts or light web/design work
• Competency with AI tools for editing, workflow, or content support
• Experience with After Effects
• A creator mindset—understanding how edits impact brand perception and audience retention

?

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

This role is:
• A workflow accelerator
• A structure and pacing partner
• A key part of scaling daily content output
• A long-term collaborator as the brand grows

This role is not:
• Just chopping clips
• Just adding captions
• A purely mechanical editing position

I’m looking for someone who wants to help elevate a brand, build systems, and grow with the operation—not just execute tasks.

?

How to Apply

Send:
• A brief intro about you
• Relevant editing samples (especially commentary or long-form work)
• Your availability and preferred working cadence
• Any experience with workflow documentation, templates, or scaling teams

If you think in systems, move fast, and care about structure as much as aesthetics, I want to hear from you.
