I am looking for a skilled and reliable YouTube video editor to work on a drama storytelling channel focused on emotional, romantic, family, betrayal, revenge, and inspirational stories.
The videos are usually long-form story videos, and the editor will be responsible for turning the provided script, voice-over, and visual assets into an engaging finished YouTube video.
The ideal editor should understand how to keep viewers watching through strong pacing, emotional visuals, smooth transitions, sound effects, background music, and good visual storytelling.
Responsibilities include:
* Editing long-form YouTube drama/story videos.
* Matching visuals closely with the narration and events in the story.
* Using appropriate images, AI-generated visuals, stock footage, or provided assets.
* Adding background music and sound effects that fit the emotion of each scene.
* Creating smooth transitions and maintaining good pacing throughout the video.
* Making important or dramatic moments feel more powerful through editing.
* Ensuring the video does not feel repetitive, boring, or visually static.
* Adding subtitles, text, zooms, motion effects, and other elements when necessary.
* Delivering clean, professional videos ready to upload to YouTube.
* Following an established editing style once examples and references are provided.
I am looking for someone who understands YouTube audience retention and knows that storytelling videos need frequent visual changes and strong emotional pacing to keep viewers engaged.
Experience editing YouTube storytelling, African/Nigerian drama, movie recap, documentary, celebrity story, or similar narrative content is a major advantage.
This can become a long-term position for the right editor because I produce content consistently.
When applying, please include examples of YouTube videos you have edited, especially storytelling or narrative-style videos, and mention the editing software you use.
