JOB OVERVIEW

I’m looking for a talented video editor to help me create polished long-form and short-form content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Shorts.

This role is focused on editing.

I’m documenting a major life transition — losing a nearly $200K/year job in Los Angeles and figuring out what comes next. The content will include career, lifestyle, budgeting, fitness, personal moments, interviews, business ideas, and day-to-day life.

I need an editor who can take raw footage and turn it into content that is clean, engaging, polished, and enjoyable to watch.

### What You’ll Be Doing

* Editing long-form YouTube videos
* Editing TikToks, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
* Cleaning up raw footage and assembling strong edits
* Cutting for pacing, clarity, and viewer retention
* Removing dead space, repetition, and anything unnecessary
* Adding captions, music, sound effects, graphics, zooms, and B-roll where appropriate
* Making videos feel polished without feeling over-edited or fake
* Delivering content in the correct formats for different platforms
* Making revisions based on feedback

### What I’m Looking For

I want someone who is strong in the actual craft of editing.

You should be good at:

* Pacing
* Clean cuts
* Music selection
* Sound design
* Captions
* Graphics
* Visual timing
* Long-form editing
* Short-form editing
* Organizing footage and project files
* Following direction while still bringing a good editing eye

You do NOT need to be the content strategist or producer for this role.

I mainly need someone who can take direction, work with footage efficiently, and create strong final edits.

Experience editing creator content, YouTube videos, Reels, TikToks, vlogs, documentary-style content, or personality-driven content is a big plus.

### Ideal Editor

My ideal editor is someone who:

* Has a strong eye for detail
* Understands how to keep videos moving
* Knows how to make content feel clean and modern
* Can edit both horizontal and vertical formats
* Communicates well
* Meets deadlines
* Is open to feedback and revisions
* Can work with me consistently over time

### Long-Term Opportunity

This is not just for one video.

I’m looking for someone I can work with consistently as more content is filmed.

The ideal person can grow with the project and become a reliable long-term editor.

### How to Apply

Please send ONLY your 2–4 best editing samples.

I especially want to see:

* Long-form YouTube content
* TikToks / Reels / Shorts
* Creator or personality-driven content

Please also answer the following:

1. What editing software do you use?
2. How many hours per week are you available?
3. What is your hourly or monthly rate?
4. Have you edited both long-form and short-form content?
5. Have you worked with creator or personal brand content before?
6. How quickly can you usually turn around edits?
7. Are you comfortable doing revisions?

### Paid Test Edit

Final candidates may be given a paid test edit.

You’ll receive raw footage and may be asked to create:

* A short long-form sequence
* One short-form vertical clip

If you’re a strong editor who can make footage feel polished, engaging, and professional, I’d love to see your work.
