Video Editor Needed for YouTube Celebrity News & Gossip Channel

Video Editor Needed for YouTube Celebrity News & Gossip Channel

I’m looking for a reliable Video Editor to create 8-minute YouTube episodes focused on the latest celebrity news and gossip for a U.S. audience.

What You’ll Receive

I’ll provide raw:
- Voice-overs
- Written scripts
- Paparazzi clips
- Tweets & social media screenshots
- Photos and headlines

Your job will be to turn these assets into a clean, engaging 8-minute YouTube episode.

Editing Requirements

- Follow the script accurately and sync visuals with narration
- Remove dead air and unnecessary pauses
- Add relevant paparazzi clips, photos, tweets and headlines
- Clean, logical cuts and smooth/on-beat transitions
- Add text that matches the narration
- Balance voice-over, music and ambient audio
- Basic colour correction where needed
- Keep the editing clean and professional — no excessive effects

Deliverables

- Final 8-minute YouTube video
- Resolution: 1920×1080
- Format: H.264 MP4
- Script-synced cuts, titles and visuals
- Balanced audio
- Editable Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Capcut project file

Turnaround

48–72 hours per video after all assets are provided.

The rate can be increased in the future for an editor who consistently delivers high-quality work and understands the channel's style.

Ideal Editor

- Good English comprehension
- Understands U.S. celebrity/pop-culture references, jokes and wordplay
- Strong sense of timing and storytelling
- Can identify the right visual for a specific line in the script
- Reliable with deadlines
- Available for ongoing work

Please include relevant YouTube/news/gossip editing samples with your proposal.

If you can deliver clean, well-paced celebrity news videos consistently, I’d love to work with you long-term.
