YouTube Travel Video Assistant Editor — DaVinci Resolve

We’re looking for a part-time assistant video editor for an established travel YouTube channel with 430K+ subscribers. Our videos are detailed, long-form travel guides rather than Shorts/Reels.

This is an ongoing role starting at approximately 5–10 hours per week, with the potential for more responsibility and hours as we develop a good working relationship. The schedule is flexible and work can generally be completed asynchronously.

A major part of the job is reviewing large amounts of travel footage and selecting the right B-roll for narration, so we’re specifically looking for someone with good visual judgment who is comfortable searching through hundreds of clips.

Responsibilities may include:

Reviewing and organizing large amounts of travel footage
Selecting appropriate B-roll for narration
Creating first-pass edits of assigned sections
Basic titles, graphics, maps, and sound effects
Organizing DaVinci Resolve timelines and media
Eventually taking on larger portions of videos as trust develops

Requirements:

Strong DaVinci Resolve experience
Experience editing long-form YouTube content
Good written and spoken English
Strong visual judgment and storytelling instincts
Comfortable searching through hundreds of clips
Able to work independently without constant direction
Reliable internet for downloading and uploading proxy media

We value judgment, reliability, organization, and independence more than flashy effects.

We’ll begin with a small paid editing trial. If it’s a good fit, this can develop into consistent ongoing part-time work with increasing responsibility and hours.

To apply, please include:

1–2 long-form YouTube videos you personally edited and what you were responsible for on each
How long you have used DaVinci Resolve
Your usual hourly rate
Your weekly availability
Briefly explain how you approach selecting B-roll when you have hundreds of clips to choose from
