JOB OVERVIEW

JOB TITLE: Long-Form YouTube Video Editor – Real Estate and Relocation Channel

ABOUT US

We are a husband-and-wife real estate team serving the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas area. Our YouTube channel helps people who are relocating to DFW understand its cities, neighborhoods, new-construction communities, homes, and lifestyle.

YouTube is an important part of our business. Our goal is not simply to publish videos or accumulate views. We want to create genuinely helpful content that earns trust and encourages qualified viewers to contact us when they are ready to buy or sell a home.

We are looking for a dependable, creative long-form YouTube video editor to join our team for a long-term working relationship.

ABOUT THE POSITION

You will edit approximately eight long-form YouTube videos per month, averaging two completed videos per week.

Our videos generally fall into two categories:

• Informational videos about DFW cities, suburbs, neighborhoods, new construction, relocation, local development, and real estate
• Home tours and new-construction community tours

Most finished videos will be approximately 8–20 minutes long.

This is not a short-form social media editing position. Your primary responsibility will be producing polished, engaging long-form YouTube videos.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Edit approximately eight long-form YouTube videos per month
• Turn raw footage into organized, engaging finished videos
• Remove mistakes, excessive pauses, repetition, and unnecessary sections
• Improve pacing without making the videos feel rushed or overedited
• Help make the opening 30–60 seconds as engaging as possible
• Find relevant B-roll, stock footage, photos, maps, screenshots, and supporting visuals
• Use B-roll to explain the subject and maintain viewer attention
• Add tasteful text, titles, callouts, transitions, music, graphics, and sound effects when appropriate
• Perform basic color correction, audio cleanup, and volume balancing
• Use maps and location graphics to help viewers unfamiliar with the DFW area
• Properly license and organize any stock footage, images, music, or other outside assets
• Follow our established visual and editing style
• Organize project files so they can be accessed again when needed
• Submit drafts on schedule and complete revisions promptly
• Export and deliver completed videos according to YouTube specifications
• Communicate questions, missing assets, and potential delays before they become problems
• Review channel analytics and feedback when provided to help improve future edits

OUR PREFERRED EDITING STYLE

We want our videos to feel:

• Professional
• Conversational
• Trustworthy
• Informative
• Visually interesting
• Well-paced
• Clean and polished

We do not want every sentence filled with effects, zooms, captions, memes, or distracting transitions. Editing choices should support the information, strengthen the story, or help maintain viewer attention.

We will provide examples from our current channel and other YouTube channels whose editing styles we like.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Proven experience editing long-form YouTube videos
• Strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, hooks, and viewer retention
• Ability to edit both talking-head informational videos and home tours
• Ability to find relevant, high-quality B-roll without needing detailed instructions for every visual
• Strong attention to detail
• Good written and spoken English
• Ability to follow instructions and maintain a consistent style
• Comfortable receiving constructive feedback and making revisions
• Organized and able to manage multiple videos at different production stages
• Reliable communication and ability to meet weekly deadlines
• Reliable computer, internet connection, and file-storage system
• Familiarity with copyright, music licensing, and stock-footage usage

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

These are helpful but not required:

• Experience editing real estate, relocation, travel, community, educational, or documentary-style YouTube content
• Experience editing property and model-home tours
• Experience creating maps and location-based graphics
• Familiarity with YouTube audience-retention reports
• Basic motion-graphics experience
• Experience using ---------- , Dropbox, Google Drive, or another collaborative review system
• Ability to recommend editing improvements based on viewer-retention data

EDITING SOFTWARE

You may use:

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• DaVinci Resolve
• Final Cut Pro
• After Effects or similar motion-graphics software

Please identify the programs you use when applying.

WORKING ARRANGEMENT

• Remote position
• Approximately eight long-form videos per month
• Average production pace of two completed videos per week
• Consistent, ongoing work for the right person
• Compensation based on experience and portfolio quality
• Some availability during U.S. Central Time for meetings and communication
• A paid trial project will be required before we make a long-term commitment

The editor must have enough weekly availability to meet our publishing schedule consistently. Please disclose any other full-time positions or major ongoing clients that could affect your availability.

HOW TO APPLY

Begin your application with the words “MANSFIELD VIDEO” so we know you read the complete job description.

Please provide the following:

1. A short introduction about yourself
2. Links to three long-form YouTube videos that you personally edited
3. At least one example of a talking-head, educational, travel, real estate, or property-tour video
4. A description of exactly what you handled on each example
5. The editing programs you use
6. Your average turnaround time for a 10–15 minute YouTube video
7. Your current weekly availability
8. Any other jobs or ongoing clients you currently have
9. Your expected monthly compensation for eight long-form videos
10. Your internet speed and computer specifications
11. Your preferred method of receiving and transferring large video files

Please also answer these three questions:

1. If viewers are leaving during the first 30 seconds of a video, what would you examine or change in the edit?

2. How do you d ---------- when a talking-head video needs B-roll or another visual?

3. What is one long-form YouTube channel whose editing you admire, and what do you like about its editing?

Applications without relevant long-form video samples will not be considered.

HIRING PROCESS

Selected applicants will be invited to a video interview.

Finalists will receive the same paid trial assignment using a short section of our raw footage. The trial will help us evaluate editing ability, communication, attention to detail, B-roll selection, and ability to follow instructions.

We are looking for someone who wants to learn our style, become part of our production process, and grow with our channel over time.
