About

We’re hiring a video editor to transform raw police bodycam footage (already obtained through FOIA requests) into cinematic, story-driven YouTube videos. The focus is on clarity, pacing, emotion, and storytelling — not just cutting clips together. 🎬 What You’ll Do ▪️ Review and edit together 15–30 minute videos from hours of pre-obtained bodycam footage ▪️ Build a strong 30-second “COMING UP” intro hook with relevant graphics, music, and tension ▪️ Add location/time overlays and identify main subjects clearly ▪️ Highlight and annotate throughout the video key people, places, and objects related to the story ▪️ Use zooms, highlights, slow-mos, annotations, and clean text graphics for visual storytelling ▪️ Create color-coded captions for each speaker  (police = blue, suspect 1 = yellow, suspect 2 = orange) ▪️ Add light background music to maintain emotional pacing ▪️ End each video with clear case outcomes and polished transitions, adding supporting graphics as needed 🧠 Requirements ▪️ Proficient in CapCut, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve ▪️ Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, and structure ▪️ Ability to add clean, professional overlays and annotations ▪️ Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented ▪️ Able to follow simple naming/export conventions (1080p or 4K) 🎧 Voice & Script Intro and outro scripts + voiceovers are pre-made and provided as part of the editing package — you’ll focus purely on editing, structure, and visual storytelling. 💡 Notes This is transformative, commentary-driven editing — every video should feel like a new experience for viewers, not a cookie-cutter compilation. 💵 Pay ▪️ $15 per completed video, paid biweekly after manager approval ▪️ Footage, script, and narration are already provided ▪️ Please apply only if you’re comfortable with the listed rate — quality and consistency matter more than speed
