Job Description
I’m looking for a video editor for a new YouTube channel focused on long-form documentary / true-crime style content.
For the first project:
* 1 long-form YouTube video — approximately 20 minutes
* 5–10 Shorts/Reels created from the finished video
I will provide:
* Finished script
* Finished voiceover
* Source material/assets
* Detailed editor notes and visual direction, while still allowing room for creative freedom
You’ll handle the overall edit, including pacing, integrating the provided B-roll and visuals, zooms and motion, captions where appropriate, music, sound effects, transitions, and overall visual storytelling.
I’m looking for a clean, cinematic, engaging documentary style with strong pacing and retention. Nothing overly flashy — the visuals should support the narration and help tell the story.
This is for a brand-new YouTube channel, with potential for ongoing work if we work well together.
