Experienced YouTube Video Editor | Long Form + Shorts

ABOUT THE POSITION

We’re seeking an experienced video editor with strong creative judgment, attention to detail, and reliable communication.

You should understand storytelling, pacing, viewer retention, B-roll, motion text, graphics, music, and professional audio.

We’ll begin with a 100-day trial agreement to establish production processes and determine whether the working relationship is suitable for a potential long-term position.

EXPERIENCE AND EDITING SKILLS

We’re looking for:

Preferably four or more years of professional editing experience.

Strong complete long-form video examples and short-form work.

Experience with educational, talking-head, coaching, fitness, wellness, or personal-brand content.

Strong openings, thoughtful pacing, relevant B-roll, and readable graphics.

Clear dialogue, balanced music, accurate captions, and polished finishing.

Strong English comprehension and communication.

Independent problem-solving, realistic estimates, and reliable follow-through.

Be highly proficient in one or more of these editing platforms: Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or Descript.

After Effects and motion graphics experience are a plus.

QUALITY CONTROL, REVISIONS, AND COMMUNICATION

Watch and listen to your videos before submitting. Check audio, spelling, captions, graphics, framing, transitions, and export quality.

Revisions are part of the job. You must be willing to make as many revisions as necessary to meet the agreed brief and approved creative direction.

Read feedback carefully, ask questions when needed, implement corrections accurately, and review your work before resubmitting.

Acknowledge direct messages within two hours during your agreed working periods. Messages received outside those periods can be acknowledged when your next scheduled work period begins.

Provide progress updates and promptly flag problems that could affect delivery.

COMPENSATION AND TRIAL

Pay is $6 USD per hour, with approximately 10 hours per week or less, depending on production needs. A 10-hour week totals $60.

Include editing, revisions, quality control, and delivery in your time planning.

Some weeks may require additional revision hours. Additional hours must be agreed upon and authorized in advance and are paid at $6 USD per hour. Do not exceed authorized hours without approval.

During the 100-day trial, we’ll evaluate editing quality, communication, reliability, efficiency, feedback implementation, and file management.

PROJECT FILES AND DELIVERY

You must provide:

Final exports in the agreed format and resolution.

Editable project files and associated assets.

Clearly named, organized files in our company-controlled Google Drive system.

Use appropriately licensed assets and disclose any licensing restrictions.

PAID EDITING TEST

Shortlisted applicants may be invited to complete a paid production test.

Scope, authorized hours, compensation, deadline, creative checkpoint, and delivery requirements will be agreed upon before work begins.

We’ll evaluate editing quality, creative judgment, accuracy, communication, revision implementation, and project handoff.

Briefly describe how you use pacing, B-roll, text, and music to improve educational videos without distracting from the content.

PROJECT HANDOFF

Explain how you’ll deliver editable projects and associated assets so Years Younger can continue editing without relying on your personal account.

MANDATORY LINK CHECK

Before applying, double-check every Google Drive link:

Set access to “Anyone with the link can view.”

Open each link in a signed-out or private browser window.

Confirm that it opens the correct file without an access request.

Confirm that every video plays from beginning to end.

Confirm that the speed-test screenshot is readable.

Applications with broken, restricted, incorrect, or unplayable links will be disqualified. Applications that substitute other platforms for the required Google Drive links will also be disqualified.

Please follow the subject line, keyword, and Apply Points instructions, and include your direct email address in your application.

If you enjoy thoughtful editing, bringing creative ideas to the table, and making each video better, we’d love to see your work. We’re looking forward to learning about your approach and what you could bring to Years Younger.
