I'm launching a long-form video podcast and looking for an experienced podcast editor to take on the full
season. This is a well-defined package with a clear scope, and I'm looking for someone who can own the
editing end-to-end and deliver a polished, consistent look across every episode and clip.
If this goes well, there's a strong chance of ongoing work on future seasons.
Scope of Work
1. Long-form episodes — 11 total
• Full edit of each episode (raw multi-cam footage, approx. [45–90] minutes per episode)
• Multi-cam switching, cutting dead air, ums/ahs, and tangents
• Color correction and audio cleanup/leveling
• Lower thirds, name titles, intro/outro, and on-screen text where appropriate
• B-roll, graphics, or captions inserted where they add value
• Final export optimized for YouTube (and audio-only version for Spotify/Apple if needed)
2. Short-form clips — 110 total (10 per episode)
• Identify the most engaging, shareable moments from each episode
• Edit into vertical 9:16 clips (30–90 seconds) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
• Animated captions/subtitles, punch-ins, zooms, hooks, and progress bars in the style of the references below
3. Short-form trailers — 11 total (1 per episode)
• 30–60 second vertical trailer teasing each episode
• Fast-paced, hook-driven, designed to drive viewers to the full episode
Editing Style / References
I want the final product to look and feel similar to these podcasts:
• Khloé in Wonder Land (Khloé Kardashian) —
• The Diary of a CEO —
• Better Half Podcast —
Please watch a few episodes and clips from these before applying — clean, premium, high-retention editing with strong pacing and captions.
Requirements
• Proven experience editing both long-form podcast episodes and short-form vertical clips
• Portfolio with podcast-specific work (links to YouTube episodes and Shorts/Reels/TikToks you've
edited)
• Proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro (plus CapCut/After Effects for shorts
is a plus)
• Strong sense of pacing, hooks, and what performs on short-form platforms
• Reliable communication and ability to hit agreed deadlines
• Comfortable working with multi-cam footage and separate audio tracks
Deliverables & Workflow
• Raw footage delivered via [Google Drive / Dropbox / Frame.io]
• Final files delivered in agreed formats and folder structure
To Apply, Please Answer These Questions
1. What is your quote for the full package outlined above? (Feel free to break it down per episode /
per clip / per trailer.)
2. How long would it take you to complete everything?
3. Please share your portfolio and specific examples of previous podcast editing work (long-form and
