Senior YouTube Video Editor – Golf Entertainment Series (Long-Form + Shorts)

Senior YouTube Video Editor & Motion Graphics Specialist – Golf Entertainment Series

Job Type: Gig / Project-Based (Potential Long-Term Opportunity)
Location: Remote
Project Duration: 10-Episode Season

About the Project

Lakeland Golf Club is launching The Club Golf Sim League, a new YouTube golf entertainment series filmed in the United States.

Think Bob Does Sports meets Barstool Sports and the Internet Invitational.

The show features 12 golfers competing in a golf simulator league, with plenty of trash talk, comedy, rivalries, and competitive moments.

We’re looking for a talented, creative, and experienced YouTube Video Editor & Motion Graphics Specialist to help bring this series to life.

This isn’t a traditional corporate editing job. We want someone who understands YouTube entertainment, comedic timing, storytelling, sports graphics, and how to keep viewers engaged throughout longer videos.

We’re starting with a 10-episode season. If the series is successful and we work well together, there is an opportunity for continued projects and future seasons.

Project Scope

Season 1 Deliverables:

• 10 professionally edited YouTube episodes (40–60 minutes each)
• 100 short-form videos (10 per episode, approximately 60–90 seconds each)
• Custom animated golf scorecards, leaderboards, and sponsor graphics
• Professional audio enhancement, color grading, and sound design
• Fully editable project files for all completed work

Total: 110 finished videos.

Raw Footage & Show Format

Each episode features two separate 9-hole golf matches.

Each match includes six golfers competing on three teams of two using an alternate-shot format.

We will provide approximately:

• 3 hours of footage from Camera 1 (active golfer)
• 3 hours of footage from Camera 2 (other golfers and reactions)
• 3 hours of GSPro golf simulator gameplay recorded through OBS

That’s approximately nine hours of synchronized footage from a three-hour filming session per episode.

The editor will need to review the footage, identify entertaining moments, and create a polished episode that combines competitive golf with comedy and personality-driven storytelling.

Responsibilities

Long-Form YouTube Editing

• Edit 40–60-minute YouTube episodes with engaging pacing and storytelling
• Synchronize multiple camera angles and gameplay recordings
• Highlight funny conversations, trash talk, reactions, great shots, and terrible shots
• Create engaging introductions, transitions, and episode endings
• Incorporate music, sound effects, replays, zoom-ins, and comedic effects
• Maintain continuity of team scores, league standings, and ongoing storylines

Golf Graphics & Motion Design

Create professional, reusable graphics, including:

• Animated golf scorecards displayed during swings
• Full leaderboards at the conclusion of each hole
• Player and team introduction graphics
• Weekly league standings
• Hole transitions and matchup graphics
• Playoff brackets and championship animations
• Picture-in-picture GSPro gameplay overlays
• Sponsor-branded graphics and replay segments

We want graphics with a polished sports-broadcast feel similar to the Internet Invitational.

Sponsor Integrations

The series will feature recurring sponsor placements, including:

• Shot of the Week
• Choke of the Week
• Official Scorecard Sponsor
• Par 3 Sponsor
• League / Championship Sponsor
• Major-Week Giveaways
• Food Sponsor
• Slice of the Week

You’ll be responsible for incorporating sponsor logos, animations, replay graphics, and promotional segments into the episodes.

Short-Form Video Editing

Produce 10 short-form videos from each episode.

Each Short should:

• Be approximately 60–90 seconds
• Be formatted vertically (9:16)
• Include engaging hooks and professional captions
• Feature dynamic editing, zoom-ins, and sound effects where appropriate
• Highlight funny moments, golf shots, reactions, and rivalries
• Be ready for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and TikTok

We want someone who understands what makes short-form content entertaining and shareable.

Audio & Video Enhancement

• Professional color correction and grading
• Consistent color matching between cameras
• Dialogue enhancement and noise reduction
• Audio leveling and mixing
• Background music and sound effects
• Final mastering for YouTube

Our filming location has a dark, luxury speakeasy atmosphere. We want to preserve that aesthetic while maintaining clear, professional-looking footage.

Required Skills

• Advanced experience with Adobe Premiere Pro
• Strong experience with Adobe After Effects
• Professional YouTube video editing
• Motion graphics and animation
• Multicamera editing and synchronization
• Audio enhancement and mixing
• Color grading
• Short-form video editing
• Strong storytelling and comedic timing
• Ability to meet weekly deadlines
• Good written English communication

Experience editing golf, sports, gaming, or entertainment YouTube channels is a major advantage.

Important: Editable Project Files Required

We have in-house editors who may need to make changes to episodes, graphics, or sponsor placements.

For this reason, we require:

• Fully editable Premiere Pro project files
• After Effects files and reusable graphics templates
• Organized timelines and project folders
• Linked media and supporting assets
• Editable scorecards, leaderboards, and sponsor graphics
• Complete project handoff with each finished episode

We must be able to open and revise the projects independently.

Please do not apply if you can only provide finished MP4 exports.

Compensation & Project Structure

This is a paid, project-based opportunity, not an immediate full-time position.

We’re looking to hire someone for the first 10-episode season, with the possibility of ongoing work if the series performs well.

We’re open to negotiating a fair project rate based on experience, portfolio quality, and the full scope of work.

The entire season is 10 weeks and here is what we will need accomplished:

1. One complete pilot episode (40–60 minutes)
2. A package of 10 long-form episodes
3. A package of 100 short-form videos
4. Initial graphics and animation template development

We prefer to work with one editor or a small editing team that can handle both long-form and short-form production.

How to Apply

Please include the following in your application:

1. Portfolio

Share links to your best YouTube editing projects. Golf, sports, comedy, and entertainment content are especially relevant.

2. Motion Graphics Examples

Show examples of animated scoreboards, sports graphics, leaderboards, or similar projects you’ve created.

3. Software Experience

Confirm your experience with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

4. Availability

Let us know your expected turnaround time for a 40–60-minute episode and 10 Shorts.

5. Project File Delivery

Confirm that all editable project files, animations, and supporting assets will be provided.

6. Creative Approach

Briefly explain how you would approach editing a golf entertainment show that combines competitive gameplay, comedy, and reality-show-style storytelling.

To confirm you’ve read the full posting, start your application with the words “THE CLUB.”

Our Goal

We’re not simply looking for someone to cut video clips together.

We’re looking for a creative editing partner who understands storytelling, humor, competition, and YouTube audience retention.

Our goal is to build a golf entertainment series that people genuinely look forward to watching every week.

If you’re passionate about video editing and want to help build a new entertainment brand from the beginning, we’d love to hear from you.
