Job description

We're looking for a skilled Video Editor / After Effects VFX Artist to help us create high-quality, fast-paced YouTube content.

This is not a traditional raw-footage editing role . Our team handles the main story, hook, pacing, and pre-cut edit. Your main job will be to elevate the edit with high-quality VFX, motion graphics, effects, and visual polish.

The Style We're Going For

We're aiming for a style similar to:

• MrBeast
• Ben Azelart
• Stokes Twins
• Other high-energy, retention-focused YouTube creators

The goal is for the final video to feel polished, exciting, and professional --- not basic or overly simple.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work from a pre-cut video and add:

• After Effects / VFX
• Motion graphics
• Speed ramps
• Slow-mo → normal speed → slow-mo effects
• Object highlights and glows
• Colored glows on objects/doors/etc.
• Shiny object effects
• Dynamic zooms and punch-ins
• Transitions
• On-screen graphics and animations
• Visual effects that enhance jokes, reactions, and important moments
• Other creative effects that improve viewer retention

We want someone who knows when and where to use effects, not someone who simply adds effects everywhere.

What We're Looking For

• Strong After Effects skills
• Strong VFX and motion graphics experience
• Experience editing YouTube content
• Good understanding of pacing and viewer retention
• Strong visual storytelling
• Ability to follow an existing edit without changing the story
• Ability to take feedback and work from editing notes
• High attention to detail
• Clean, polished work

DaVinci Resolve experience is a plus, as we're looking to work within a collaborative editing workflow.

Bonus

• You can create YouTube thumbnails
• Experience with MrBeast, Ben Azelart, Stokes Twins, or similar content
• Experience working with creators or YouTube channels

What You'll Receive

Our team will provide the pre-cut/edit-ready video and direction . You'll focus on taking that edit to the next level through VFX, motion graphics, and visual polish.

We already have projects ready, so there is an opportunity for ongoing work if it's a good fit.
