Hi! I’m a content creator in the pet/cat entertainment space looking for a reliable video editor to help me expand my content into long-form YouTube.
I already create successful short-form content across Instagram,
I’m looking for someone who can take my footage, voiceovers, scripts, and creative direction and turn them into engaging, well-paced YouTube videos.
What you’ll be doing
Most videos will be approximately 8–15 minutes long.
Tasks may include:
* Cutting and organizing raw footage
* Removing pauses, mistakes, and unnecessary sections
* Adding B-roll, photos, screenshots, and other provided assets
* Finding appropriate royalty-free/usable B-roll when needed
* Adding simple text, graphics, zooms, transitions, and sound effects
* Adding background music
* Creating clean, readable captions when appropriate
* Following reference videos and established editing styles
* Keeping videos moving at an engaging YouTube pace
* Organizing project files and assets
* Exporting completed videos according to provided specifications
You do not need to create scripts or appear on camera.
I will provide creative direction, reference videos, scripts/voiceovers when applicable, and feedback.
What I’m looking for
You should:
* Have experience editing YouTube videos
* Have strong English comprehension
* Understand pacing and viewer retention
* Be comfortable editing humorous/entertainment content
* Be able to follow detailed instructions
* Be organized and dependable
* Communicate when you’re unsure rather than guessing
* Be comfortable receiving feedback and making revisions
* Have reliable internet and the ability to work with large video files
* Be interested in a long-term working relationship
Experience with CapCut Desktop, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve is welcome. Please tell me which software you use.
You do NOT need an expensive computer setup or formal degree. I’m much more interested in your editing instincts, reliability, and ability to learn the style of the channel.
Paid editing test
Finalists will be offered a paid editing test using a short sample of footage.
Everyone completing the test will be paid for the test regardless of whether they are selected.
How to apply
Please send:
1. Your name and location/time zone
2. The editing software you use
3. Your computer specifications and typical internet speed
4. 2-3 examples of YouTube videos you have personally edited. Please specify exactly what parts you edited
5. Your current availability per week
6. Your experience editing comedy, entertainment, animals/pets, or personality-driven YouTube content
7. A brief description of how you approach editing a talking-head video to improve viewer retention
8. Tell me about one YouTube creator whose editing style you think is especially effective and why
9. Confirm that you are comfortable starting at $6 USD/hour
IMPORTANT: To show that you read the full job description, begin your application with the name of your favorite animal.
Please do not use ChatGPT or another AI tool to write your answers. I’m not looking for perfect English or beautifully written responses. I want to hear how you communicate and think.
I’m looking forward to finding someone who can grow with the channel. If we’re a good fit, I’d love for this to become a consistent, long-term role that can expand in content management as well.
