YouTube Episode Editor (3–5 min) — Immediate Start, Long-Term We need a proactive editor who can pick up existing timelines and deliver polished 3–5 minute YouTube episodes fast—tight story, clean sound, strong b-roll integration, and on-brand on-screen text. The style we want Docu/brand feel: anchored A-roll with purposeful b-roll and purposeful cutaways (no filler). Hook + structure: snappy cold open → title/ID → concise ending. On-screen text: tasteful callouts, lower thirds, stats/quotes; consistent typography. Sound-led polish: dialogue cleanup, music selection/ducking, subtle SFX for emphasis. Color: clean, natural skin tones; consistent series look (Lumetri/adjustment layers). Delivery: 16:9 master (primary). 2 vertical basic teaser cutes (~30 sec) What you’ll do Take over Premiere Pro projects/raws → organize, cut, mix, color, and finish. Build/maintain a repeatable series package (MOGRTs or templates for titles, L3s, chapter cards, end screen). Select and layer b-roll/overlays that advance the narrative (not just decorate it). Manage assets and exports via Dropbox with sticking to foldering and versioning. Must-haves 3+ years professional editing; expert Premiere Pro. After Effects for light motion/templating (MOGRTs). Proven 3–5 min YouTube episode samples (talking head + b-roll + on-screen text). Fast, reliable turnarounds (typical 24–72h per episode depending on scope). Strong English; responsive on our internal communication channel during agreed hours. Capable machine (smooth 4K, 10-bit 4:2:2) + fast internet. Nice-to-haves Light thumbnail design; subtle animation/kinetic type. Basic audio chain comfort (EQ/comp/limiter) and consistent loudness. Multicam syncing experience (when applicable). Hours & engagement Start ASAP. Initial sprint to clear a small backlog, then steady monthly episodes. Prefer 2–3 hrs weekday overlap with ET (PH-based editors welcome). How to apply (follow exactly) Start your message with comb and include: 3 links to 3–5 min YouTube edits (talking head + b-roll + on-screen text). Availability: start date + weekly hours. Rates: per-episode. Specs: computer + internet speed screenshot. Shortlisted candidates receive a paid test. Competitive pay; strong potential for long-term.
