JOB OVERVIEW

YouTube Video Editor Needed – Long-Term Opportunity

DIGITAL SAFETY:
I am building a professional YouTube channel called Sykes: The Digital Safety Detective.

The channel helps adults recognize scams, protect their money and identity, and stay safe online.

I am a U.S. Army veteran, retired police corporal, and former narcotics detective with 25 years of law-enforcement experience.

I will record and provide the raw talking-head footage. I need a skilled YouTube editor who can turn my recordings into polished, engaging videos designed to keep viewers watching.

Most finished videos will be approximately 6–10 minutes long.

Topics include:

Online scams
Phone and text-message scams

Email
scams
Identity theft
AI scams
Banking and financial scams
Social-media scams
Digital safety

Your responsibilities will include:

Remove mistakes, pauses and dead space
Create clean jump cuts
Improve pacing and viewer retention
Clean and balance audio
Add subtle zooms when appropriate
Add professional on-screen text and graphics
Highlight important warning signs and key information
Add relevant B-roll, screenshots and visual examples
Add captions where appropriate
Add channel branding
Create strong, engaging openings
Export finished videos ready for YouTube

Bonus skills:

Turn each long-form video into 2–4 YouTube Shorts
Create YouTube thumbnails
Find royalty-free B-roll
Understand YouTube audience retention
Understand storytelling and pacing

Editing style:

Professional, trustworthy, authoritative, modern and engaging.

I do NOT want excessive ---------- s, distracting transitions or over-editing. This is a digital-safety and scam-prevention channel. The editing should support my message and credibility while keeping viewers interested.

PAID TEST EDIT

Selected applicants will receive approximately 60–90 seconds of raw footage to edit.

The test edit will be paid.

I will evaluate:

Pacing
B-roll
Graphics
Text
Audio
Viewer retention
Professional appearance
Attention to detail

HOW TO APPLY

Start your application with the exact words:

DIGITAL SAFETY

Then answer:

What is your name?
How long have you been editing YouTube videos?
Send links to your 3 best talking-head YouTube edits.
What editing software do you use?
How long would it normally take you to edit a 6–10 minute video?
Can you create YouTube Shorts?
Can you create thumbnails?
Do you find your own B-roll and graphics?
What would you charge to edit one 6–10 minute video?

Do not send your entire portfolio. Send the 3 examples most similar to this type of channel.

I am looking for someone dependable who wants to grow with the channel and potentially become my long-term YouTube editor.
