JOB OVERVIEW

I run a YouTube channel making cinematic "behind-the-scenes / making-of / casting-story" documentaries about famous movies, actors, and directors. Think narrated video essays over movie clips, stills, and B-roll — no face, no talking head. I'm looking for an editor who can take a finished script + voiceover and turn it into a retention-focused 8–15 minute video.

What you'll do:

Edit long-form videos from a provided script and AI/voiceover audio
Source and sync relevant movie clips, trailers, stills, and B-roll to match the narration
Cut for retention: tight pacing, no dead air, pattern interrupts, visual variety every few seconds
Add captions/subtitles, light motion graphics, zooms, and text callouts
Sound design + background music that fits the tone (tension, awe, nostalgia)
Basic color/cleanup so clips look consistent

You're a good fit if you:

Have edited long-form YouTube content before (please send examples — documentary/video-essay style preferred)
Understand YouTube retention and hooks, not just technical cutting
Can find your own B-roll and clips without hand-holding
Communicate clearly and hit deadlines
Know Premiere Pro / After Effects / CapCut / DaVinci (tell me which)

To apply, send:

2–3 links to long-form videos you edited (not just Shorts)
Your rate — per video or per hour
Your turnaround time per 10-minute video
Start this message with the word "CLAPBOARD" so I know you read the whole post

Ongoing work for the right person — this is a channel I'm scaling, not a one-off.
