- Edit long-form, documentary-style videos tailored for YouTube, with a strong focus on storytelling, pacing, and audience retention
- Refine the pacing of cuts, voiceover timing, and pauses to create a compelling narrative flow
- Work with pre-rendered 3D sequences, integrating them seamlessly into the edit based on provided direction
- Source high-quality, relevant stock footage if needed, and creatively incorporate it to support the story
- Create immersive transitions and engaging visual moments that elevate the viewing experience
- Apply color correction to ensure consistency between stock footage and 3D segments
- Collaborate closely with Directors to align on narrative structure, tone, and creative vision
- Integrate motion design elements (provided and/or self-created depending on skill level)
- Handle basic sound design, including audio cleanup, mixing, and balancing
- Ensure consistency in style, tone, and branding across all videos
- Deliver high-quality edits within tight deadlines to support a consistent publishing schedule
What You’ll Be Working With
- Pre-rendered 3D sequences, with clear direction on placement
- Curated voiceovers and narrative scripts
- Motion design assets (depending on the project)
- Creative direction from the team, with room for your own input and ideas
About You
- Proven experience editing YouTube content, ideally documentary-style or narrative-driven formats
- Strong understanding of pacing, storytelling, and audience retention techniques
- Ability to source and curate high-quality stock footage that enhances storytelling
- Strong eye for visual cohesion, especially when blending different types of media (stock + 3D)
- Experience with color correction and creating a consistent visual look
- Detail-oriented, with a strong focus on quality and storytelling clarity
- Ability to work efficiently under tight deadlines
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with creative teams
- Solid portfolio showcasing relevant YouTube or long-form work
- Comfortable creating or adapting motion graphics when needed (bonus, not required)
