Cinematic YouTube Vlog Editor Needed

I film regular YouTube vlogs and now want each episode polished into a smooth, cinematic experience. The raw footage is already organised on a shared drive; your task is to turn it into a cohesive story with elegant transitions, thoughtful color grading that preserves natural skin tones, and background music that supports the mood without overpowering dialogue.

I don’t have specific reference links, but I can clearly describe the pacing, colour palette, and overall feel I’m after. Think gentle camera moves, seamless cross-dissolves or whip-pans where they add energy, and a film-like grade that ties every shot together. If you’re comfortable working in Premiere Pro or Final Cut (DaVinci Resolve for grading is a plus) and can mix royalty-free tracks beneath voice and ambient sound, we’ll be on the same wavelength.

Deliverables for each episode:
• One fully edited 8–12-minute 4K video, ready for upload
• Matching thumbnail still (grabbed frame or customised if you prefer)
• Project files so I can tweak text or tags later

I’ll supply notes on narrative flow and any key moments that must stay in. Turnaround of 5-7 days per vlog feels right, but let me know if you can be faster without losing that cinematic touch. Let’s chat about your past work and see if our styles align.
