Video Editor | 500-1,000 Per Month (Full-Time)

Full–time

Posted on: 5 days ago

Hi there,

We're currently looking for a skilled and creative video editor to join our team and help produce high-quality YouTube content.

Our content includes both talking-head educational videos and cinematic documentary-style edits, so we're looking for someone who can bring strong editing instincts, good pacing, and creativity to the table while also being able to match the quality of the references we provide.

You'll be working alongside our senior editor, who will help train you to achieve the exact style we're looking for.
So even if you're newer to Upwork, that is completely fine. What matters most to us is that you are talented, reliable, creative, and hungry to grow.

Ideally, we are looking for someone based in Asia, as this tends to align well with our workflow and production schedule.
However, strong candidates from other regions are still welcome to apply.

Compensation

Monthly Pay:
$500 – $1,000 USD

(Depending on how many videos you edit)

Editing rates:
$5 per minute for regular talking-head videos
$150-$200 per video for documentary-style edits

We also offer performance-based bonuses for exceptional video performance, which means your income can grow beyond $1,000 per month if your work performs strongly.
Reference Style

Please review the editing styles below before applying:

Please only apply if you are confident you can match or surpass the editing quality shown in the examples above.
If not, please kindly refrain from applying.

Responsibilities

Edit talking-head YouTube videos with clean cuts, graphics, pacing, and retention-focused structure
Edit documentary-style videos with strong storytelling, cinematic flow, and attention to detail
Bring creativity and editorial judgment to each project
Deliver videos on time and meet deadlines consistently
Work closely with our team and senior editor to refine and match our style

Who We're Looking For

A creative editor with strong taste and attention to detail
Someone who can take feedback well and improve quickly
Someone reliable, professional, and able to meet deadlines
Someone who wants to grow with a team long term
Someone open to working full-time and building their career with us

We are open to freelancers, but our preference is someone who wants to work with us more seriously and grow into a full-time role, rather than someone juggling a large number of clients.
We do not mind if you are relatively new to Upwork. If your work is strong and your attitude is right, we are happy to consider you.

Important Notes

Please do not attempt to contact us outside of Upwork. All communication must remain on the platform.
Only applications submitted through Upwork will be considered.

Please attach your portfolio and best work with your application
If your work aligns with what we're looking for, we will message you and continue with a short sample task to see if there is a fit

This is a strong opportunity for the right editor to grow with our team, develop their skills, and increase their income over time.
We are actively hiring and look forward to seeing your work.
