Senior Long-Form YouTube Video Editor (Full-Time, $650–$850+/mo)

Full-time · Salary: $650 - $850+ USD/month · Hours: 40/week

We're a YouTube studio making long-form videos about real stories. Real research, no AI slop. We're launching several channels and want an editor to grow with us: steady, full-time, long-term work on videos you'll be proud to put your name on.

This is not an entry-level role. If you're just starting out as an editor, please don't apply.

Compensation depends on your experience and skill level.

Why you'll like it here:

• You get the script, voiceover and image list. You focus on making it great.
• Long-form, creative work, not an endless stream of shorts.
• Clear direction: we show you exactly the style we want.
• Stable monthly pay that reflects your skill.

The style we want: watch the first 3 minutes of this video (it isn't ours): ---------- /watch?v=BUGy3Eiq8vk

• Mostly still images (old paintings, engravings, archive photos, maps), each brought to life with slow, varied camera moves
• Photo cut-out silhouettes, portrait cards with names, and route maps where a red line draws itself across the sea
• One colour look across the whole video, with red as the only accent
• Hard cuts timed to the narrator's breaths, not a dissolve on every shot
• A clear voice over calm, deep music, with very few sound effects

You'll:

• Turn a script, voiceover and image list into a long-form video
• Find and prepare the images: clean them up, cut out figures and objects, and grade them into one look
• Build the maps, cards and text animations
• Mix the voice, music and the occasional sound effect

You have:

• Long-form YouTube videos you edited, built mostly from still images
• Real motion-graphics skill (After Effects, Fusion or similar). You can make an old engraving feel alive without it looking like a template
• A good eye for old artwork, and the patience to find the right picture for each line

Not a fit if most of your work is short-form, talking heads, gaming, stock-footage montages or slideshow-style videos.

To apply: start your message with "YT" and send:
1. 2–3 long-form videos you edited, built mostly from still images
2. In 1-2 sentences: why do you think you'd be a good fit for this role?
3. Your expected monthly salary
