About the channel
YouTube channel built around opinion and insight videos rather than news reads. Think "why you never finish a game" or "I changed my opinion on this game after 250 hours." The videos are personal, conversational, and driven by a robust hook. We are scaling to a daily publishing schedule and need a dedicated editor to own post production.
The role
You will be the editor for every video that goes out. The writing, narration, and presenter footage are already produced. Your job is to turn that raw material into a finished, retention friendly video with motion graphics, gameplay B roll, sound design, and clean pacing.
What you receive for every video:
The full script
The recorded narration audio
Presenter (talking head) video clips already cut to the segments where they belong
Thumbnail and any custom images or graphics needed
What you deliver:
One long form video per day, 8 to 10 minutes, 16:9, 1080p or higher
Two to three short form videos per long form piece, 60 to 90 seconds, 9:16, with captions
Responsibilities




Edit narration audio into a tight timeline with correct pacing, no dead air, and clean cuts
Create motion graphics, text animations, and on screen visual support that match the narration beat by beat
Source, cut, and sync relevant gameplay footage and B roll to what is being said at that exact moment
Place the supplied presenter clips at their marked timestamps and blend them into the edit
Add sound design, transitions, music beds, and audio mixing and levelling
Build vertical shorts from the long form video, including reframing, subject tracking, and animated captions
Maintain a consistent visual identity across every upload, including fonts, colours, lower thirds, and title cards
Deliver on a daily schedule and handle revision notes quickly
Requirements
Two or more years editing YouTube content, ideally in gaming, tech, or commentary formats
Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve with a comparable motio
