YouTube Video Editor – Calm, Educational Talking-Head Videos (Light, Smooth Editing)
Job description: I’m a YouTube creator producing calm, educational talking-head videos around health, wellbeing, and lived experience. I’m looking for a light-touch editor who values clarity, smooth pacing, and consistency — not flashy or fast-cut styles. Editing style: Clean, smooth cuts (remove pauses, mistakes, long gaps) Calm, natural pacing Simple lower-third title at the start (no opening title card) Simple section title cards between sections (guided by script) On-screen text for key points only (not constant captions) Occasional light B-roll where it genuinely adds clarity (optional, not forced) Modern, clean visual style (neutral / pale / pastel tones preferred) This is not a high-energy, jump-cut, TikTok-style channel. Video details: Length: 6–12 minutes final edit Raw footage may be 20–25 minutes (single-take recording) Format: talking head, single camera Frequency: 1–2 videos per week (ongoing if a good fit) Workflow note: Sometimes I will pre-process footage (e.g. audio balancing or eye-contact correction). Other times I may send raw footage. I’m happy to agree a consistent workflow together. If you already work with tools like Descript or apply audio balancing/eye contact as part of your process, that’s a plus — but not required. What I’m looking for: Experience with YouTube talking-head content Comfortable working from a script with clear section headings Reliable turnaround (48–72 hours preferred) Open to feedback and consistency across videos High level of English required — this role involves editing spoken educational content and adding on-screen text, so accuracy and understanding of nuance are important. Budget: $25-$40 per video Starting with one paid test video Please include: 1–2 examples of similar YouTube work Your typical turnaround time Confirmation you’re happy with calm, minimal editing Whether you currently use any AI audio / eye-contact tools (optional) You can view examples of my editing style here: Apply tot his job
