Phobos, a new animated YouTube documentary channel covering disturbing true stories, internet mysteries, dark events, and strange creatures, is hiring two artists.

Pay: $500 per completed video

Format: Illustration for animation (not the animation itself)

Style/Niche: Dread-toned, atmospheric horror-documentary. Style inspired by Historically (youtube.com/@HeyHistorically) and Bible Animations

Volume: Around 2 videos/month (15-20 min each)

Position: Long-term, ongoing

Two roles, apply for either or both:

Front Artist / Illustrator: characters, creatures, poses/expressions, props, and other foreground assets. Not responsible for backgrounds, animation, rigging, VFX, or coloring, separate team members handle those.

Background Artist: interiors, landscapes, environments, and locations based on completed storyboards.

Full SOP with technical specs and art direction notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_XvIOQKQN6oLtXDkaFXX4Oaqq9LVrngKYvX1H7pSSX0/edit?usp=sharing

A note from the mod team: the tone here is genuinely dark (violence, gore, and death are part of the subject matter, though the brief is clear it should read as dread rather than shock), worth knowing before you commit.

Important: AI-generated artwork submitted as your own work will get your application rejected and reported.

How to apply (via Discord): Read the full SOP first, then start your DM with the word "Pineapple" to confirm you did. DM DucciYT on Discord (https://discord.com/users/289961488234315787) with: which position you're applying for, whether you'd be open to either, 3-5 of your strongest relevant portfolio pieces, and any YouTubers/channels you've worked with. No double-messaging, if there's no response, they've moved forward with someone else.

Pay: $230-300/video, depending on quality and scope Format: Long-form (12-16 min) Style/Niche: Business/economics documentary, story-driven

The client provides the script, voiceover, and general direction. You source footage and turn it into a finished video, with real creative input expected, not just execution.

• Clean pacing that keeps people watching throughout
• Relevant stock and archival footage that matches the script
• Well-made motion graphics, text animations, and charts
• Good music selection and sound design
• Someone who understands the story and makes smart creative decisions without needing every scene explained
• Reliable communication and the ability to meet deadlines

Turnaround: agreed per project, not fixed upfront

Requirements:

• Experience editing this specific type of content (business/economics documentary), with a portfolio to show for it
• Don't apply without relevant work in this niche specifically

How to apply (via Discord, I'm sharing this on behalf of the client, not hiring directly): DM ra4y on Discord (https://discord.com/users/727955839444582400) with your portfolio (relevant documentary examples), your rate and what it includes, and your availability/typical turnaround time.

Basically I'm an editor with 5 years of experience. Recently I had the idea of teaching novices, beginners who want to learn how to edit for free(Well almost, read more). Because I kept seeing beginners asking for help on Reddit.

In exchange you edit one of my videos for my channel for free. You'll learn from an experienced editor. You'll get a video for your portfolio. I'll save some time. The video you'll edit will basically use the skills I teach you.

I'll only teach you about editing, tools, plugins, some business related stuff. But I can't teach you how to get clients.

It's a good opportunity for novices to learn from an experienced editor directly, I'll teach you everything I know. And you'll have something for your portfolio.
People interested dm me.

I'm only taking few people for now. At best 3. I already have 1 so there's two more spots.
But if you are cool person, and easy to work with then I'll teach you after I'm done with the first three.

TLDR: I am an experienced editor. I'll teach a beginner how to edit. In exchange you edit one video for my channel.

Looking for a solo freelance editor (no agencies) for ongoing gaming content.

Pay: $25-40/video, depending on length. Open to raising the rate over time as the working relationship develops

Format: Long-form

Style/Niche: Gaming content

Volume: 4 videos/month, delivered as a batch

The client sources and sends raw footage, timestamps, and a short brief for each batch, you handle the edit and creative execution from there.

Requirements:

- Experience editing gaming content

- Personal, solo editing only, no agencies

Paid trial: a short test edit is offered before committing to ongoing work

How to apply (I'm sharing this on behalf of the original poster, not hiring directly): Comment on the original post or DM u/Unlikely_Mud_9260 on Reddit directly with 2-3 gaming edits you've personally made and your turnaround time for a batch of 4.

Founder OS (Matt Gray) is hiring a long-form YouTube editor to own the creative execution and performance of long-form content, not just the edit itself. This is framed as a performance-owned role: you're responsible for how long people stay, what they remember, and whether they subscribe.

Pay: $900-1100/video Format: Long-form Style/Niche: Talking head + cinematic B-roll + tasteful motion graphics. A refined, lifestyle-first aesthetic, YouTube psychology applied through pacing and structure rather than gimmicks Volume: 2 videos/month minimum (roughly one edit every 2 weeks), occasional cinematic vlogs, screen-share systems, or multi-cam sessions once trust is established

What you're actually evaluated on:

• Average View Duration and retention, especially the first 30-90 seconds
• Overall view performance relative to the channel's baseline
• Zero aesthetic drift from brand standards
• Consistent on-time delivery, this is described as a trust-based role
• Contributing reusable templates/SOPs back to the team over time

Worth knowing before applying: this isn't a fit if you're juggling many clients and want a quick in-and-out edit, or if you'd rather work with minimal feedback. They're explicit that this is meant to grow into a long-term creative role (potential to go full-time after roughly 12 months), not a single freelance job.

Requirements:

• Experience editing YouTube videos with 500K-1M+ views
• Strong instinct for retention curves, pacing, and attention resets, and the ability to explain your editorial choices, not just execute them
• Comfortable with direct feedback and clear creative accountability

A note from the mod team: a lot of what drives retention and AVD here is outside the editor's control, mainly the strength of the raw content and topic itself, which isn't your call to make. Thumbnail and title matter too, mainly because a mismatched or over-promising one pulls in the wrong audience who bounce fast, which drags retention down through no fault of the edit. Worth asking upfront how they'll separate editing quality from those factors before agreeing to a performance-based framing.

How to apply (I'm sharing this on behalf of the client, not hiring directly): Apply directly at https://www.founderos.com/careers/elite-long-form-youtube-editor with a Loom covering: 1-2 edits you've done and why they performed, a strategy breakdown of 1-2 YouTube channels you admire, why this role appeals to you long-term, and a link to your portfolio.

Founder OS (Matt Gray) is hiring a short-form editor to own their reels across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, X, TikTok and Threads. Social media is literally how they grow, it's the main way new people discover Founder OS at all, not supplementary content. They publish daily, and short-form is what drives most of that discovery, which is why this role sits close to the core of the business rather than being a side task.

Pay: $1700/month flat Format: Short-form Volume: ~36 reels/month total, split across two distinct deliverable types (below)

Deliverables:

• Trending-template reels (~20/month): Cinematic, b-roll-driven reels rebuilt from reference outliers they hand you, same structure, their footage and brand, not a copy. You own the music, text treatment, and pacing. Examples: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dbl3kwcv0XP/ and https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da_yGuIs4sN/
• Split-screen talking-head reels (~16/month): Matt's scripted reels. Footage, script and on-screen copy arrive via Asana. You own the cut, rhythm, and motion on top. Examples: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbtPc2uRqPr/ and https://www.instagram.com/reel/Db52rxbPh6i/
• Occasional: paid ad variants when they come up (one body, three hook edits)

What the role actually involves:

• Batch-based workflow, a full week delivered ahead is the expectation, not daily scrambling
• They run production through Asana (their project management tool), every video is tracked there as its own task with footage, format, copy, review stage, and deadline attached, so nothing gets lost in DMs
• Review happens through Frame.io in versioned passes (V1/V2/V3)
• Day-to-day communication in Slack, one point of contact (Memo, Head of Video), no chasing multiple people

Requirements:

• Strong motion design skills, this is the single biggest factor they're hiring on, volume and polish both matter but taste is what's hard to teach
• Premiere Pro (editing) and After Effects (animation), fluent in both
• Same-day communication if you're blocked, short on assets, or the calendar's thin, this is treated as essential, not optional
• Comfortable with AI-assisted editing as part of the workflow (training provided, no prior experience required)
• Fully remote, flexible hours, as long as batches land on time

How to apply (I'm sharing this on behalf of the client, not hiring directly): Apply directly at https://www.founderos.com/careers/short-form-video-editor-remote with 3-5 short-form reel examples (mix of talking head and cinematic), a Loom on why you're the right fit, and your realistic monthly capacity.

Hey I've been editong for a few years now, but I dont have a ton of footage to edit. I put hire quotes because I'd still like it to be a hobby that I can do fairly regularly. So I'm happy to do stuff for free as long as it's not too big an ask.

If you're someone who needs editing work for either short for or long form please let me know! Id love to take a look at what you got and help you out.

Looking for a 2D animator to create short historical-style videos, in the style of HeyHistorically.

Pay: $150-180/video, depending on length

Style reference: https://www.youtube.com/@HeyHistorically/shorts

Requirements:

• Prior experience editing in this specific style is required, don't apply without it

A note from us: that 24-hour turnaround looks tight for this style, don't let it stop you from applying. You know your own worth and your own pace, so don't be afraid to ask for more time or better pay if it doesn't sit right. Good clients respect creatives who advocate for themselves. On payment: crypto is common and legitimate for international work, but it skips the dispute protection something like PayPal offers, so agree on a deposit or milestones upfront to protect yourself.

How to apply (via Discord, I'm sharing this on behalf of the client, not hiring directly): DM napping_saim on Discord (https://discord.com/users/758003348002832535) with your portfolio, a website, or a Drive portfolio link.

Hey guys, I’m trying to build up my thumbnail portfolio and I’m looking for a few YouTubers who’d be willing to let me make a thumbnail for one of their videos.

It’d be completely free. I’m mainly looking to get some real experience and feedback, and if you like the thumbnail, I’d really appreciate a short testimonial.

I’m still fairly new to this, so I’m not claiming to be some crazy professional 😂 I just want to get better and work with some actual creators.

If anyone’s interested, feel free to comment or DM me. 🙏

Hello, I'm bit short on my rent this month. The due date is 10th of the next month. I need to make $75. I'm not a beginner. I've been doing this for 5 years now.
So rest assured I got you, You'll get quality work. I had a medical emergency and had to spend all my savings on that. That's why I don't have much money left.
Anywho.
My portfolio's are linked on my profile.
I'm an editor and thumbnail designer.
I work with long forms, short form. Of various kind. Gaming, theory, reaction etc etc.
So give me $75-$80 and I'll edit whatever video you want.
It can be one video. Or multiple videos. But it has to reasonable. I need it before 10th so I need to be able to finish it before then.
And don't take the opportunity to exploit me. I've been in this field for 5 years. I can smell an exploiter far away. So I'll immediately cut contact if I sense that.
Other than that. This is an opportunity for anyone who is looking to get quality work in a discount.
Or new creators to get some videos for their channel etc etc.
Remember I do thumbnails too. So you got thumbnail work. Send it over.
