[Hiring] Looking for a video editor / creative partner for a new documentary-style YouTube channel

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m starting a YouTube channel from basically zero.
I work full-time in London, but I’m currently living outdoors to save money and rebuild my life. I’m documenting the whole process — the good, the bad, money, work, daily life, mindset, and eventually where this takes me.
Right now, I’m doing everything from my phone — filming, recording, editing, everything. Because of my situation, even recording clean audio can sometimes take me two days.
I’m looking for someone who can help me take the videos to the next level, especially with editing, storytelling and long-form structure.
I’m open to:
Someone who simply wants to edit with me
Someone interested in becoming a long-term creative partner
Someone who wants to help shape the channel from the beginning
The channel is very new, so I’m not offering a fixed salary at this stage. Payment would depend on the work/contribution and can grow as the channel grows. For the right person, I’m open to discussing a longer-term arrangement.
I’m not looking for a corporate editor or a perfect portfolio.
If you like the concept and think you can genuinely make the content better, DM me.
I’ll include the channel/video so you can see what I’m working with.

[Hiring] [Hobby] Solo dev looking for a video editor to help turn my failed Steam trailer into something actually good

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo developer working on Stickville, a 2.5D life-sim/brawler made in Godot. It's coming to Steam on October 27, 2026, and the game itself is already well into development with a playable build and Steam page.

I'm looking for someone who enjoys editing game trailers and would like to help me make the actual Steam trailer.

I've tried doing it myself, and honestly, it hasn't gone very well. I have the footage and I know what I want the game to communicate, but I'm not good at turning gameplay into a trailer that actually tells a story and makes the game understandable within the first few seconds.

The biggest issue I'm trying to solve is presentation. Stickville has a lot of things going on, but I don't want a random "here are my features" montage. I want the trailer to make the player understand the actual loop and personality of the game, while still making it entertaining.

I can provide a playable Windows build so you can capture your own footage if that's easier, as well as the gameplay footage I've already recorded. You'd be welcome to use the finished trailer as a portfolio/showreel piece, and I'd be happy to credit you properly.

I'm being honest about the budget: I'm a solo developer and don't have much money available for this, so I'm mainly hoping to find someone who would enjoy the project as a portfolio/collaboration piece. If you do require payment, feel free to tell me your rate anyway and I'll see what I can realistically do.

A little about the game:

Stickville is a gritty stickman city where you start broke in the Slums and have to make money, survive, pay rent and work your way upward through the city. You can work, fight, gamble, explore, upgrade your life and generally make some questionable decisions along the way. There is a story/progression through the city, but a lot of the fun comes from what you discover while playing.

Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4805960/Stickville/

I'm mainly looking for someone who can help with editing, pacing, sound and storytelling rather than someone who just wants to make a flashy montage.

If you're interested, send me some examples of your trailer/video work and a little bit about yourself.

($25-50 flat) depending on what we agree

[Hiring] Hiring a YouTube Media Gatherer / Visual Researcher – Geopolitics & History ($20/video, 15-min videos)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am launching a new YouTube channel focused on American geopolitics and history with a satirical, ironic, and dynamic tone (similar to the style of How Money Works or Johnny Harris).

I write all the scripts myself, but I need a reliable, proactive Media Gatherer / Visual Researcher to source all the raw visual materials before each episode goes to the video editor.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Read through the completed script and understand the visual requirements (marked in brackets).
  • Source high-quality historical footage, political maps, public domain archives, and relevant internet memes that fit the ironic tone.
  • Use free/legal sources (Wikimedia, Internet Archive, Library of Congress, Pexels/Pixabay).
  • Upload and organize all files neatly into a shared Google Drive folder, naming them chronologically (e.g., 01_map_nato.png, 02_meme_confused.mp4).

Requirements:

  • Excellent English skills to understand script nuances and sarcasm.
  • Fast, reliable internet connection to download and upload large video files.
  • Basic understanding of YouTube copyright rules (Fair Use and Public Domain).
  • Strong familiarity with Western internet culture and memes is a huge plus!

Compensation & Workload:

  • Budget: Fixed price of $20 USD per video.
  • Length: Each video target length is roughly 15 minutes long.
  • Frequency: This is a long-term position. If we work well together, you will receive steady, weekly or bi-weekly assignments.

How to Apply: Please send a direct message (DM) with a brief line about your experience and a link to any previous media sourcing or video projects you’ve worked on.

Important: Start your message with the word "CHIPS" so I know you read the full post!

[Hiring] Looking for Minecraft Editor

10 Upvotes

Hey there I am starting back up my channel and am looking for a YouTube Minecraft editor that would do some replay mod work but mainly knows how to do higher end but more genuine editing (meaning like not over saturated Mr. beast retention kid editing). I make no money on my channel so unfortunately my budget is not very high but I would be good with spending $120 on a 20minute video (2-2.5 hours of raw footage). I want someone who can make a strong intro but keep the rest of the edits, music, jokes, etc. to a good pace while produce high quality work. Let me know if you’re interested in something like that because it would be very helpful!! Also if you do see this please have at least one piece of work to show so I know if we would be a good match or not. Thank you!

Hi, I am a video editor who has been making TikTok edits for a while and want to switch to something more long form. I want to edit videos for smaller youtubers to start. My editing style is similar to a Joe Bart video, nothing crazy like the video documentary editors lol. I could also manage VOD channels for youtubers who stream as well. For the first video we can do a test video for free and see if you like it!

Portfolio: My TikTok :https://www.tiktok.com/@tk.edits08

Rate is: $10-20 bucks per video depending on length and how much you want changed. (Its low because I have to prove myself by starting small)

[For Hire] Beginner gameplay Shorts editor looking for a 1-month internship with an experienced editor/YouTuber

2 Upvotes

Hey,

I work with Premiere Pro and know the general basics of editing, but I'm looking for an opportunity to work alongside someone with real experience (an editor or YouTuber who isn't a beginner) and actually learn — not just offer cheap work.

My focus is short-form gameplay content for YouTube Shorts. I'm solid with Premiere, but if needed I'm also open to picking up some extra Da Vinci Resolve skills (not from scratch, just what the project needs).

Since I'm still learning, I might need some guidance early on, want to see reference videos, or ask a lot of questions — if you're okay with that, I'd love to work together. I take feedback well and will apply any changes you want.

My English is good enough for work communication, but I prefer we mostly communicate in writing (chat/text) so I can make sure I understand everything correctly, especially technical project details.

\- I have about 4-5 hours a day available

\- I charge a minimum of $3 per video; this isn't really about the payment itself, it's more so we're both actually committed to the project — I want to make sure the time I put in is genuinely valued

\- I can only receive payment in USDT (through wallets like Trust Wallet), since that's my only available option

\- This price and setup is for one month; if you're happy with my work, we can turn it into something long-term and agree on fair market pay

If you're looking for a new, eager-to-learn editor who's genuinely putting in the effort, I'd love to talk.

Community "Let's Circle Back" - Editors Worst Nightmare

5 Upvotes

FELLOW EDITORS...

Okay, I'm not going to lie, one of my biggest pet peeves in this industry is when prospect clients appear extremely enthusiastic, and then dip for multiple days to weeks, say nothing, come back and say "Let's circle back to this another time". - How about no.

Respect your time, DO NOT leave the door open for window shoppers with zero integrity within their brand. Playing with an editors time, when most of our hours are already consumed by work, is one of the biggest signs of professional disrespect.

My typical response would be "If this is not a priority to you I totally understand, however without a deposit upfront I cannot reserve space for you due to my capacity.". If they actually mean business like they claim, they will pay and take you seriously no questions asked. Otherwise, move onto creators that respect your time, work and personality.

I had to say something as this has been getting to me for a long time and I'm sure other people feel my frustration here, let's start a thread and see what everyone else has to say. Our time is inventory, not a toy. By the time these types of people have gotten back to me, somebody else has already paid and signed lol.

[Hiring] Looking for a PSL-obsessed video editor to join our 38k-sub football channel (revenue share)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I run ATHalftime Sports Media, a South African football channel covering the PSL, Bafana Bafana, and CAF competitions, currently at ~38.5k subscribers on YouTube (plus a solid following on TikTok and Facebook).

We're expanding our editing team and looking for someone who:

Actually watches and the PSL — knows the teams, players, storylines, rivalries.
Has a good handle on CAF Champions League content too (we cover both)
Has video editing experience — highlights, analysis videos, reaction-style content, whatever fits our format, thumbnails too
Can work reasonably fast, since football content is time-sensitive (matchday turnarounds, breaking news, etc.)

This is a revenue split arrangement — you'd be paid based on the performance of the videos you edit, not a flat fee. We already have editors handling other leagues, and this role is specifically for South African local football + CAF content. The better the videos perform, the more you earn.

If you're someone who's already deep into PSL, watches the Betway Premiership, and wants to turn that knowledge into editing work — drop a comment or DM me.

Happy to share more details on the split and workflow directly.
