Travel Vlog YouTube Editor

I’m building a dedicated YouTube channel built around Travel & Adventure vlogs and need a sharp editor who can turn my raw footage into binge-worthy episodes. You’ll be working with clips I capture on the road—drone shots, GoPro runs, on-camera commentary, and the inevitable shaky bits that still hold great stories. Your mission is to shape all that into a clean, engaging narrative that keeps viewers watching to the very end.

Here’s what I’m after:
• Primary format: full-length YouTube videos (8–12 minutes) in a vlog style.
• Secondary deliverables: re-cuts or highlight snippets for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, and Twitter so the core story travels across platforms.
• Travel tone: upbeat, authentic, with pacing that matches the energy of new destinations.
• Polish: color-grading that makes landscapes pop, crisp audio, balanced background music, and light motion graphics for maps, lower thirds, or quick facts.

Typical workflow
1. I’ll upload footage and a rough outline to Google Drive.
2. You assemble a first cut (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve all fine—whatever you’re fastest in).
3. We run one revision pass for story, one for polish, then you export in 4K and create the short-form derivatives.

Acceptance criteria
• Final vlog delivered in 4K H.264, YouTube-ready thumbnail frame identified.
• Three 30–60 second vertical clips formatted 1080×1920 for each social channel.
• Project files and assets returned so future tweaks are possible.

If travel storytelling excites you and you’ve already edited at least a few vlogs that kept viewers hooked, I’d love to see your reel and talk timelines.
