YouTube Shorts Video Editor - Commentary Shorts with Captions and Voiceover

We're hiring a video editor to produce YouTube Shorts from clips of real public confrontations: the "Karen" genre of store, parking lot, neighbour and road rage arguments. For each Short you'll receive the clip, a 5-line narration script and the voiceover audio. You'll cut the clip into a vertical Short, place the voiceover, add animated captions, a title and our branded overlays, and upload it to our Google Drive. We're looking for someone to work with us on an ongoing basis.

Fast, clean, phone-first editing: the story is easy to follow, captions are accurate and readable, and every Short looks like part of the same channel.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Trim each clip to 1.5–3 minutes so the story is clear: who started it, how it escalates and how it ends.

• Frame it for vertical 9:16, with the clip in the centre and a blurred copy filling the background.

• Place the 5 voiceover lines at their script timestamps and lower the clip's audio under them so both are clear.

• Add word-by-word animated captions for both the clip's dialogue and the voiceover, using our caption style, and check every word.

• Add the title banner, channel logo, camera-frame overlay and a credit to the original filmer, plus circles and arrows on key moments.

• Mute or bleep slurs and strong swearing following our guide.

• Export to our settings and upload the finished Shorts to our shared Google Drive folder each day.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Examples of vertical Shorts, TikToks or Reels you edited yourself, with animated captions, and an explanation of what you did on each.

• Strong English comprehension for checking captions against fast, heated speech.

• Confidence with your editing software (CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar), including caption animation and audio ducking.

• Consistency. You can follow a template so every Short matches.

• Comfort working with heated arguments, some with swearing and offensive language.

• A reliable computer and internet connection for daily exports and uploads.

Workload: 2–3 Shorts per working day. Clips, scripts, voiceovers and templates are supplied.

Turnaround: Daily batches; delivery times will be agreed with the team.
