About the Job

I'm looking for a reliable and creative video editor to produce engaging, long-form YouTube videos about Chinese technology and the automotive industry.

Topics may include Chinese electric vehicles, new car launches, autonomous driving, futuristic technology, robotics, batteries, AI, and major developments from Chinese tech companies.

I will provide the complete script and voice-over audio. Your job is to source relevant footage and edit the video to match the narration, following the style and pacing of the reference video.

This is an editing and footage-sourcing role. You do not need to write scripts or record voice-overs.

Find visuals that accurately match the script and voice-over.

Edit footage into an engaging 30-minute YouTube video.

Add appropriate sound effects, smooth transitions, zooms, and subtle animations.

Use engaging visuals during the opening hook to capture viewers' attention.

Maintain strong pacing and regularly introduce relevant visual changes.

Add on-screen text, labels, and graphics to highlight important information when needed.

Use suitable background music without overpowering the narration.

Avoid repetitive footage, unnecessary pauses, and long static shots.

Ensure the final video looks polished and is ready for YouTube.

Use footage legally and follow copyright guidelines.
