JOB OVERVIEW

**Title:** Video Editor — Pop Culture / Anime / Movies YouTube Channel (Long-Form & Short-Form)

**About Us:**

CM Studios is a growing YouTube channel focused on pop culture content — movies, anime, cartoons, TV shows, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, horror, and collectibles. We create both long-form YouTube videos and daily short-form content (Shorts, Reels, TikToks) and are looking for a skilled video editor to join our team and help us scale. We plan for this role to grow as the channel grows.

**What You'll Be Doing:**

- Editing long-form YouTube videos (our priority — at least one quality video per month)
- Editing daily short-form videos (15-60 seconds) for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels
- You will receive raw recorded footage and creative direction fro ---------- — I record all content and will communicate the vision for each video. You can also review the existing channel to understand the style and direction.
- You should have some relative knowledge of the niche. You don't have to be an expert — I am the expert. You can ask questions where needed, but I do expect you to be able to find quality clips, quality SFX, and quality level clips on your own.
- After each video is uploaded, spending approximately 1 hour on community engagement: responding to comments on our content and engaging with related creators' content to boost visibility
- Maintaining a consistent upload schedule and being available during upload windows

**What We're Looking For:**

- Proven experience editing both long-form and short-form content for YouTube
- Must have edited at least one short-form video that reached **1,000,000+ views on YouTube Shorts** or **10,000,000+ views on TikTok** (please include link)
- Must have edited at least one long-form video that reached **100,000+ views on YouTube** (please include link)
- Strong skills in storytelling, pacing, sound design, transitions, and retention editing for long-form YouTube content
- Strong understanding of hooks, text overlays, and trending editing styles for short-form platforms
- Familiarity with pop culture content — movies, anime (Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, etc.), cartoons, TV shows, Star Wars, Marvel/DC, and horror
- Understanding of YouTube algorithm and what makes both long-form and short-form content perform
- Reliable internet connection and ability to communicate clearly in English
- Experience with community engagement and understanding of engagement strategies is a plus

**How You'll Be Paid:**

- **Short-form videos:** Per-video rate, hourly rate, or whatever pricing structure works best for you — just tell us how you prefer to charge for short-form edits
- **Long-form videos:** Hourly rate or per-project rate — tell us your preferred pricing structure
- **Engagement work:** 1 hour of community engagement paid after each upload
- Payment issued upon completion of each video cycle (edit + engagement hour)
- Consistent, ongoing work — this role is designed to grow as the channel grows

**To Apply, Please Include:**

1. A brief introduction about yourself and your editing experience
2. A link to at least one short-form video you edited that reached 1M+ views on YouTube Shorts or 10M+ on TikTok
3. A link to at least one long-form video you edited that reached 100K+ views on YouTube
4. Links to your portfolio or channels you've edited for, showing both long-form and short-form work
5. Your pricing: how you charge for short-form edits and your hourly or per-project rate for long-form
6. Review our content across all platforms (links below) and answer this question: **Pick one of our existing videos (long-form or short-form) and explain specifically how you would have edited it differently to get more views.** Be specific — mention the hook, pacing, storytelling, retention, transitions, or any changes you'd make.

**Our Channels (please review before applying):**
- YouTube: ----------
- TikTok: ----------
- Instagram: ----------
- Letterboxd: ----------

**Trial Period:**

Selected candidates will be given a paid trial — editing one 15-20 second test video to evaluate fit, style, and quality before moving forward.

**Important:** To confirm you've read this entire post carefully, please include the phrase **"the iron giant"** somewhere in your response.
