I shoot social-media-style footage and now need a sharp editor who can mould it into compelling 5-10 minute videos that keep a YouTube audience watching. You’ll be working with raw clips (mostly talking-head plus b-roll) and turning them into polished content that feels native to the platform—fast-paced, with strong hooks in the first seconds, on-screen text where it adds value, and seamless transitions that never distract. Your typical workflow will involve colour correction, audio clean-up, tasteful motion graphics for lower thirds or call-outs, and the occasional meme cutaway or stock overlay to keep things lively. If you prefer Premiere Pro, Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve that’s fine by me—as long as the final export lands in 1080p (or 4K if footage allows) and the pacing feels distinctly “YouTube”. For clarity, here’s what I expect delivered each time: • One fully-edited video between 5 and 10 minutes, ready to upload to YouTube (.mp4 or .mov) • Thumbnail-friendly still frame or PSD you used to generate it • Project file and any custom assets so I can make tweaks later if needed A typical turnaround of three days per video works; quicker on simpler edits is a plus. Let me see samples of YouTube pieces you’ve cut—especially content that balances information with entertainment—and mention any experience optimising for watch time or retention graphs. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right fit, so send over your reel, a short note on your editing approach, and your estimated cost per finished minute.
