JOB OVERVIEW

I’m looking for a talented video editor to work with me long-term on a golf/travel YouTube project called Every Golf Course.

The eventual project is to travel throughout New Zealand playing and documenting every golf course. Before the trip, I’m producing videos at my golf course in Colorado to establish the style of the channel and find the right editor.

I’m looking for someone who can take raw iPhone, drone, action-camera and microphone footage and turn it into entertaining, polished golf/travel content.

The YouTube videos will eventually be approximately 20–30 minutes, with multiple Shorts/Reels/TikToks created from the same footage.

I do not want the videos to feel overly edited or gimmicky. I want a clean, cinematic, entertaining style that lets the golf, personalities, scenery and story carry the video.

You should be comfortable with:

Editing long-form YouTube videos
Creating Shorts/Reels from the same footage
Working with drone footage
Audio cleanup and balancing
Music and sound design
Color correction
Simple maps, score graphics and course/progress graphics
Creating a strong opening hook without excessive effects
Finding entertaining moments in raw footage without needing every cut explained to you

PAID TEST EDIT

For the first test, I filmed 3 holes of golf plus drone footage of the golf course.

I will provide the raw footage and want you to create:

1. One polished YouTube video from the available footage
2. Three vertical short-form videos suitable for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok
3. A simple thumbnail concept

This is intentionally a small test. I am more interested in seeing your storytelling, pacing and creative judgment than seeing how many effects you can add.

If the test goes well, I am looking for someone who can become the primary editor for the entire Every Golf Course project, with consistent ongoing work.

When applying, please send:

Your best 2–3 examples of YouTube editing
At least one example of short-form editing
Your editing software
Your monthly rate for full ---------- work
Start your application with the word FAIRWAY so I know you read the entire post.

Golf knowledge is a plus, but not required.
