Job description

About the Job

I’m looking for a long-term YouTube video editor for my channel, which focuses mainly on Godzilla/kaiju content, powerscaling, character analysis, versus debates, and video essay-style commentary.

Most videos are around 15–30 minutes long, usually about 20–25 minutes. I will provide the completed voiceover/audio, script, and any important research material. Your job will be to turn that into an engaging finished YouTube video using relevant movie footage, images, screenshots, text, music, sound effects, memes, zooms, transitions, and other visual elements.

A major part of my videos involves very specific feats, statements, and pieces of evidence. For example, if the narration discusses a specific scene from a Godzilla movie, I do not want random footage from that movie. I want the actual scene being discussed.

You are not expected to already know every Godzilla movie, feat, statement, or piece of lore. For anything highly specific, I will provide the necessary clip, screenshot, source, or note explaining what should be shown. For more general sections, I want you to use your own judgment and creativity.

This is intended to be ongoing work, not just one video.

Ideal Candidate

I’m looking for someone who:

• Understands good pacing for long-form YouTube videos


• Can match visuals closely to what is being said


• Is comfortable editing commentary/video essay content


• Can make screenshots and statements visually interesting with zooms, highlighting, movement, etc.


• Has good judgment when choosing B-roll and footage


• Can use memes and sound effects without overdoing them


• Communicates well and asks questions when something is unclear


• Can study my existing videos and gradually learn my editing style

Experience with Godzilla, MonsterVerse, kaiju media, powerscaling, anime, comics, gaming, or movie commentary is a major bonus, but not required.

Job Requirements

• Ability to edit long-form YouTube videos


• Strong sense of pacing and visual storytelling


• CapCut is preferred, but Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Vegas Pro, and other editing software are also acceptable


• Ability to follow reference videos and instructions


• Reliable communication and reasonable turnaround times


• Willingness to make revisions when necessary

Compensation is approximately $150 per completed video, depending on length and complexity. I am looking for someone I can work with consistently over time.

Before committing to a full video, I may ask selected applicants to complete a short paid 60–90 second editing test so I can see how well your style matches the channel.
