Long Form You-Tube Editor - 18550

Position: Long Form You-Tube Editor
Location: LATAM/SA
Salary: $1800 - $2500

The Role
You will be our dedicated long-form YouTube editor. Your sole focus is taking raw footage from our filming sessions and turning it into polished, high-retention YouTube videos that drive views, watch time, and subscriber growth. You are not editing short-form content or ads -- your entire job is YouTube long-form.
Our YouTube content focuses on weight loss transformations, food challenges, grocery hauls, experiment-based formats, and educational content targeting men ages 20-30. Videos typically run 12-20+ minutes. You will receive raw footage (A-cam and B-cam), scripts, and an editing brief for each video.

Current production cadence: 1-2 videos per week, scaling to 2+ as the system matures. Each video follows a structured pipeline from filming through rough cut, revisions, final cut, and delivery.

What You’ll Do
• Edit long-form YouTube videos (12-20+ minutes) from raw A-cam and B-cam footage
• Deliver a rough cut (timeline edit) by the deadline for review -- typically Friday at 12 PM PST
• Implement revision notes and deliver the final cut (with motion graphics, sound design, color grading, overlays, and music) by Monday at 12 PM PST
• Create engaging hooks in the first 30 seconds using dynamic visuals, movement, text overlays, and sound effects -- no dead space
• Add motion graphics, text overlays, and visual enhancements that reinforce key points throughout the video using PeachFit brand standards (Impact font, brand colors, clean overlay positioning)
• Perform sound design: select background music from Motion Array, add sound effects for transitions and emphasis, balance audio levels (voiceover dominant, music supportive)
• Color grade all footage for consistency across clips and lighting conditions
• Match visual overlays to script references -- when Jacob says ‘I used to weigh 315 lbs,’ you cut to the 315 lb photo/video. This intuition is critical.
• Manage Google Drive files: download raw footage, upload rough cuts and final cuts to the correct folders, follow naming conventions
• Document all music used in a Google Doc (song name + artist) and upload as a PDF to the video’s Drive folder
• Complete a pre-submission quality control checklist before every submission (audio
levels, color consistency, hook strength, text accuracy, export settings)
• Respond to revision feedback within 24 hours with an updated version
• Self-manage your workflow. You receive footage, a script, and a brief -- we expect
finished videos with minimal back-and-forth.

What We’re Looking For
• Proficiency in professional video editing software (Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or
DaVinci Resolve). You need to be fast and precise.
• Experience editing long-form YouTube content (10+ minute videos). You understand
pacing, retention, hook optimization, and how to keep viewers watching.

• Motion graphics capability. You can create clean, on-brand text animations, overlays, and visual effects that enhance the video without cluttering it.
• Sound design skills. You know how to select music, add sound effects, balance audio levels, and create an audio experience that supports the visual story.
• Color grading proficiency. You can make footage from different lighting conditions look consistent and professional.
• Strong eye for pacing and retention. You know when a cut is too slow, when a
segment drags, and how to maintain energy throughout a 15-20 minute video.
• Attention to detail. No typos in overlays. No audio spikes. No color mismatches. No
missing outros. What you deliver must be ready to publish.
• Self-management and communication. You work asynchronously with a small remote team. You hit deadlines, flag issues proactively, and manage your own workload.
• Comfort with structured feedback. We give detailed revision notes via Loom. You
implement all notes completely, not partially. If you disagree, you raise it respectfully -- you do not silently ignore it.

Nice to Have
• Experience with fitness or health content on YouTube
• Familiarity with YouTube analytics (CTR, AVD, retention curves) and how editing
decisions impact them
• Experience with HERA (AI motion graphics) or similar tools
• Experience with Motion Array for music, sound effects, and templates
• Understanding of YouTube thumbnail and title strategy (how the video content supports click-through)
• After Effects or advanced motion graphics skills
