Interested in hiring an editor for a TTRPG channel
Hey all,
I previously had a channel where I made D&D content (seen here). I did all of the work myself but I really felt like my video editing was not up to par. I want to restart the channel, focusing on a different TTRPG (Draw Steel) and concept (character builds), but I think it would perform better if the editing was not so amateurish.
The new videos will be between 15-25 minutes long and, like the old ones, will be entirely VO over movie/game clips with a decent amount of on-screen text. Essentially I'm hoping to recreate this series but for a different system.
I've got final audio prepared for the first episode and scripts for many more. For the first video we'd need to work together to define the "look" of the series, which I can easily make assets for. I can pay up to [$200 flat] for the first video, but please let me know if I'm grossly underestimating the amount of work, I don't want to insult anyone. Once the first episode is made and posted I'll evaluate if I can afford to make any more.
DMs are open, but I likely will not answer until tomorrow after work.
[$200 flat]

looking to work with an editor/retention specialist
I run a growing, search-optimized travel and food channel focused on budget travel, London-based experiences, and airplane/hotel reviews. Over the past year, I have built a strong production foundation: 55 consecutive weekly uploads.
The channel currently generates a reliable, passive baseline of 40–80 views per day long form views a day (over 31,000 lifetime views long form views), primarily driven by high-intent YouTube search traffic and suggested videos. I have a 12-video backlog (including raw footage for another 24 videos).
The Challenge: While my search traffic is reliable, my Average Percentage Viewed (APV) typically sits between 20% and 33% (approx. 2 to 5 minutes on 10–15 minute videos). My current bottleneck is holding viewer attention in the first 60 seconds and maximizing my impressions click-through rate (CTR). My ultimate goal is to optimize my packaging and retention strategy to break through the 4,000 watch-hour monetization milestone.
I am looking for a hands-on editor to help me establish a high-retention blueprint for my upcoming videos.
($35 HOURLY)
Hiring YT video editor - 2 Videos per week - 177k subs
We’re looking for a reliable YouTube editor for 2 videos per week. The videos are usually 20 to 30 minutes long. Very occasionally there are longer outlier videos, but that’s rare.
The editing style is fairly simple:

The goal is to improve retention, keep the pacing engaging, and maintain a style similar to the existing videos on the channel.
The client is Katie Roams. Feel free to check out the channel on YouTube before applying. Please do not apply if this isn’t something you are familiar with or can edit without needing guidance or help.
We would want a trial video before committing to anything long term.
Please only apply if you’re a competent editor with solid experience. We’re not looking for beginners or people who are unreliable.
If interested please send me:
- Examples of relevant work

[Hiring] Looking for a long-form gaming editor
Hi I'm a UK based channel looking for a long-form gaming editor. I'm looking for an editing style similar to RealCivilEngineer or ImCade. At the minute I'm uploading one video a week that tends to be around 30-40 minutes in length so I'm looking for someone to help me keep up the consistency and potentially increase the uploads in the future.
If you're interested send me a DM with your budget and your portfolio and we can go from there 😁
[HIRING] Documentary-Style YouTube Editor for Tactical Commentary Channel (Long-Term Opportunity)
Looking for a skilled YouTube editor for a growing tactical/educational commentary channel.
Channel:
Relaxxd Fit Tactical
https://youtube.com/@relaxxdfittactical
Goal of the role:
I’m not hiring someone to “make videos look cool.” I’m hiring someone to improve viewer retention, support the narration visually, and make educational/tactical commentary feel clear, tense, and watchable.
The format is:
- talking head intro
- documentary/faceless editing for the rest
- story-driven pacing
- retention-focused structure
- educational but entertaining
Videos are usually:
5–12 minutes long. (We try and stay right under 10 min)
This is NOT:
- meme spam editing
- gaming montage editing
- random transitions every 2 seconds
- “TikTok ADHD editing”
I’m looking for someone who understands:
- YouTube retention
- pacing
- hooks/payoffs
- documentary storytelling
- tension building
- sound design
- visual reinforcement
- clean professional editing
You do not need to know anything about firearms, but some basics might help.
You should be able to explain your editing decisions. For example: why you used a certain visual, why you cut a pause, why you slowed a section down, or how you supported the hook/payoff of the video.
Content includes:
- legal breakdowns (Mostly State Firearm Laws)
- self-defense/tactical topics
- educational commentary
- story-driven videos
Because this is a firearms/tactical-adjacent educational channel, platform safety matters. The content should stay educational, commentary-based, and professional. If something feels legally, factually, or platform-risky, I expect the editor to ask before making assumptions.
Style references:
- Internet Anarchist
- MagnatesMedia
- James Jani
- Moon
- Coffeezilla
- Johnny Harris
- Jake Tran
I’m not looking for a clone of any one channel. I’m looking for the shared style:
strong narration support, documentary pacing, smart visual evidence, clean sound design, and retention without cheap overediting. (Our channel Style will be discussed)
The right editor should be able to:
- Find and use visuals that reinforce the narration
- Support claims with relevant screenshots, documents, maps, headlines, clips, graphics, or other visual evidence
- Know when to speed things up and when to slow things down
- Clean up dead air naturally without making the edit feel chopped
- Build curiosity, tension, and payoff throughout the video
- Use music and sound design without overpowering the narration
- Use properly licensed, royalty-free, or original music/sound effects and avoid assets that could create copyright claims.
- Make educational content feel engaging
- Ask smart questions when something is unclear
- Organize project files cleanly and communicate clearly
Requirements:
- Strong English comprehension
- Strong communication
- Uses professional editing software such as DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, etc.
- Experience editing YouTube content, preferably documentary, commentary, educational, or faceless content
- Understands retention, pacing, hooks, payoffs, and viewer drop-off points
- Can take direction and feedback without getting defensive
- Reliable turnaround times
- Curious, detail-oriented, and willing to improve
- Communicates early if there is a problem, missing asset, unclear instruction, or delay
Workflow expectations:
- Confirm receipt of assets/instructions
- Agree on deadline before each project starts
- First draft turnaround depends on scope, but reliability matters
- Revisions should usually be handled in a timely manner unless discussed otherwise
- If something is unclear, ask before guessing
- If something will be late, communicate before the deadline, not after
Budget:
Paid per video. Most projects will typically fall around $150-$300+ per video depending on:
- Video length
- Complexity
- Amount of b-roll/visual sourcing needed
- Motion graphics or document work
- Sound design
- Overall editing quality
I am not looking for the cheapest editor. I am looking for the best fit.
For the right editor, I am willing to pay more for exceptional work.
Exceptional editing would look like this:
What’s Really Happening in the Bermuda Triangle
I do not expect a clone of these videos, but I do expect the editor to understand why they work: pacing, structure, curiosity gaps, music, visual evidence, tension, and payoff.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT TO DO:
Please DM me on Reddit with the following:
- Portfolio with at least 2–3 relevant YouTube edits
- Channels you’ve edited for and exactly what you handled on those channels
- One video you edited and a short explanation of your editing choices
- Retention/AVD results if available
- Your favorite YouTube creators/styles and why
- Your rate for a 6–10 minute documentary/commentary-style edit
- Typical turnaround time for first draft and revisions
- Editing software you use
- Whether you can source visuals/b-roll and keep track of sources
- Any experience with legal, educational, commentary, documentary, tactical, or sensitive-niche content
Paid test edit:
Editors who seem like a strong fit will receive a paid test edit using a real upcoming video segment. The goal is to see how well your editing judgment matches the channel.
For the test, I will be looking at:
- Hook support
- Pacing
- Visual reinforcement
- Sound design
- Documentary feel
- Retention-focused structure
- Communication
- Ability to take direction
- Overall fit for the channel
Long-term opportunity for the right person.
So once again:

Looking for YouTube Native Style Editor for my Channel
Hi all! I’m currently looking into potentially hiring an editor as I would like to get my channel @ebaby.mp4 started up again, but a bit differently. My videos would be a mix of haunted explorations and sit down /nosleep reactions style, true horror stories and more videos in the ‘real’ horror/paranormal niche.
The style I’m looking for is specifically the native editing style to the platform: Punch-in / punch-out zoom timing, cut to close up zoom on specific moments, Comedic pause timing, Meme inserts + internet culture references, Sound design layering (whooshes, tension risers, music, etc.), Subtitles for some sections where voices aren’t as clear or during spirit box sessions for example, basically very engaging editing in the style of YouTubers.
As I mentioned, I would be restarting my channel so although I am monetized I won’t be seeing much or anything for a while so I don’t have the biggest budget to start off but I would love to hear what are the rates for this type of editing and see what would make sense for both of us and of course the rate would go up as my channel starts seeing monetization again :)
(I have to put a budget in order for my post to stay up but as I said above I’d like to know your rates and see your work and go from there. If I feel it is worth investing more because the editing style is exactly what I want then I would be open to that. Also depending on the length of the video and amount of footage the rate would fluctuate accordingly. With that being said, I’ll add here that the approximate budget for a video of 20-25 minutes would be around $200-300)
