This guy took money as advance from me.
After that he is not done any work and not responding at all. He told the other after the payment he went to a marriage I said okay, he can start working.

I run a travel YouTube channel that blends documentary-style storytelling with vlog energy — real stories, 5–20 minute videos.

I have basic editing skills; I’ll build the full rough cut in CapCut with footage and most of the structure and creative direction already in place. What I need is someone who can take that and turn it into something I couldn't have made on my own.

I'm looking for someone who brings their own creative sauce while staying true to the vision. I want this to be a collaboration, not just a paid gig.

For reference, I love the pacing and energy of videos like these:
🎥 REFERENCE VIDEO 1
🎥 REFERENCE VIDEO 2

Here's a sample of my most recent work so you can see the style and where I'm at:
👉 MY MOST RECENT YOUTUBE VIDEO

Workflow:
• I send you a structured rough cut with footage and creative direction in place
• You deliver a polished final version that elevates the edit creatively
• If you see a moment that could hit harder or deserves a different treatment — go for it
• Revisions should be minimal
• Turnaround is flexible — we'll find a rhythm that works

Budget: $200–$700 CAD per video, depending on length and complexity. I have multiple videos in my backlog, so this isn't a one-off.

Down the line, there's also potential for bonus work like short-form edits, thumbnails, and other creative assets as the channel grows.

What I'm looking for:
• An editor who understands storytelling
• Strong instinct for pairing visuals with music and sound design
• Bonus if you've edited travel, lifestyle, or documentary content before

If this sounds like you, shoot me an email at koldkeatan@gmail.com with:

1. A link to your portfolio or relevant work
2. A short reason why you think we'd work well together
3. Include the word "tr@vel" in your email so I know you've read this

If it's a fit, the next step is you walk me through your best work. From there, happy to do a paid sample edit.

Let's make something sick. 🤝

Keen to see what you guys can cook! 🔥

(starting salary $65K+)

Hey all,

I previously had a channel where I made D&D content (seen here). I did all of the work myself but I really felt like my video editing was not up to par. I want to restart the channel, focusing on a different TTRPG (Draw Steel) and concept (character builds), but I think it would perform better if the editing was not so amateurish.

The new videos will be between 15-25 minutes long and, like the old ones, will be entirely VO over movie/game clips with a decent amount of on-screen text. Essentially I'm hoping to recreate this series but for a different system.

I've got final audio prepared for the first episode and scripts for many more. For the first video we'd need to work together to define the "look" of the series, which I can easily make assets for. I can pay up to [$200 flat] for the first video, but please let me know if I'm grossly underestimating the amount of work, I don't want to insult anyone. Once the first episode is made and posted I'll evaluate if I can afford to make any more.

DMs are open, but I likely will not answer until tomorrow after work.

[$200 flat]

Looking for a YouTube editor for my Magic: The Gathering channel.

I’m starting a new series of more polished educational videos focused on Limited strategy/fundamentals and looking for someone who understands YouTube pacing, gameplay B-roll, graphics, and retention-focused editing. [Budget is $120 Flat.]

This would likely turn into recurring work if it’s a good fit.

YouTube Channel

If interested, send:

• portfolio/work samples
• rates
• turnaround times

MTG knowledge is a plus but not required.

Looking for a skilled YouTube editor for a growing tactical/educational commentary channel.

Channel:
Relaxxd Fit Tactical
https://youtube.com/@relaxxdfittactical

Goal of the role:
I’m not hiring someone to “make videos look cool.” I’m hiring someone to improve viewer retention, support the narration visually, and make educational/tactical commentary feel clear, tense, and watchable.

The format is:

• talking head intro
• documentary/faceless editing for the rest
• story-driven pacing
• retention-focused structure
• educational but entertaining

Videos are usually:
5–12 minutes long. (We try and stay right under 10 min)

This is NOT:

• meme spam editing
• gaming montage editing
• random transitions every 2 seconds
• “TikTok ADHD editing”

I’m looking for someone who understands:

• YouTube retention
• pacing
• hooks/payoffs
• documentary storytelling
• tension building
• sound design
• visual reinforcement
• clean professional editing

You do not need to know anything about firearms, but some basics might help.

You should be able to explain your editing decisions. For example: why you used a certain visual, why you cut a pause, why you slowed a section down, or how you supported the hook/payoff of the video.

Content includes:

• legal breakdowns (Mostly State Firearm Laws)
• self-defense/tactical topics
• educational commentary
• story-driven videos

Because this is a firearms/tactical-adjacent educational channel, platform safety matters. The content should stay educational, commentary-based, and professional. If something feels legally, factually, or platform-risky, I expect the editor to ask before making assumptions.

Style references:

• Internet Anarchist
• MagnatesMedia
• James Jani
• Moon
• Coffeezilla
• Johnny Harris
• Jake Tran

I’m not looking for a clone of any one channel. I’m looking for the shared style:
strong narration support, documentary pacing, smart visual evidence, clean sound design, and retention without cheap overediting. (Our channel Style will be discussed)

The right editor should be able to:

• Find and use visuals that reinforce the narration
• Support claims with relevant screenshots, documents, maps, headlines, clips, graphics, or other visual evidence
• Know when to speed things up and when to slow things down
• Clean up dead air naturally without making the edit feel chopped
• Build curiosity, tension, and payoff throughout the video
• Use music and sound design without overpowering the narration
• Use properly licensed, royalty-free, or original music/sound effects and avoid assets that could create copyright claims.
• Make educational content feel engaging
• Ask smart questions when something is unclear
• Organize project files cleanly and communicate clearly

Requirements:

• Strong English comprehension
• Strong communication
• Uses professional editing software such as DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, etc.
• Experience editing YouTube content, preferably documentary, commentary, educational, or faceless content
• Understands retention, pacing, hooks, payoffs, and viewer drop-off points
• Can take direction and feedback without getting defensive
• Reliable turnaround times
• Curious, detail-oriented, and willing to improve
• Communicates early if there is a problem, missing asset, unclear instruction, or delay

Workflow expectations:

• Confirm receipt of assets/instructions
• Agree on deadline before each project starts
• First draft turnaround depends on scope, but reliability matters
• Revisions should usually be handled in a timely manner unless discussed otherwise
• If something is unclear, ask before guessing
• If something will be late, communicate before the deadline, not after

Budget:

Paid per video. Most projects will typically fall around $150-$300+ per video depending on:

• Video length
• Complexity
• Amount of b-roll/visual sourcing needed
• Motion graphics or document work
• Sound design
• Overall editing quality

I am not looking for the cheapest editor. I am looking for the best fit.

For the right editor, I am willing to pay more for exceptional work.

Exceptional editing would look like this:

What’s Really Happening in the Bermuda Triangle

The Cult of the Dead Stock.

I do not expect a clone of these videos, but I do expect the editor to understand why they work: pacing, structure, curiosity gaps, music, visual evidence, tension, and payoff.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT TO DO:

Please DM me on Reddit with the following:

1. Portfolio with at least 2–3 relevant YouTube edits
2. Channels you’ve edited for and exactly what you handled on those channels
3. One video you edited and a short explanation of your editing choices
4. Retention/AVD results if available
5. Your favorite YouTube creators/styles and why
6. Your rate for a 6–10 minute documentary/commentary-style edit
7. Typical turnaround time for first draft and revisions
8. Editing software you use
9. Whether you can source visuals/b-roll and keep track of sources
10. Any experience with legal, educational, commentary, documentary, tactical, or sensitive-niche content

Paid test edit:
Editors who seem like a strong fit will receive a paid test edit using a real upcoming video segment. The goal is to see how well your editing judgment matches the channel.

For the test, I will be looking at:

• Hook support
• Pacing
• Visual reinforcement
• Sound design
• Documentary feel
• Retention-focused structure
• Communication
• Ability to take direction
• Overall fit for the channel

Long-term opportunity for the right person.

So once again:

($150-$300+ FLAT, PER VIDEO DEPENDING ON SCOPE with room to increase for exceptional quality)
