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 solid 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
- Robust command of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, or
