Hi, I’m looking for a video editor for a first test project. I’m currently starting a completely new YouTube channel and want to test if the editing style and collaboration are a good fit. I work a regular job, so I create content in my free time. Because of that, the amount of videos can vary. Some weeks there may be more videos, some weeks less. I will film the raw videos myself with my phone. Your job would be to turn the footage into modern, engaging YouTube Shorts. What I need: – Editing short vertical videos in 9:16 format – Adding captions/subtitles – Modern effects, zooms, cuts and transitions – Sound effects and music where needed – Making the videos more entertaining and engaging – Basic color correction and audio improvement – Final export ready for YouTube Shorts, TikTok or Instagram Reels Important: This is currently only a test project because the channel is brand new. Depending on my available time, I may create more or fewer videos. If I like the editing style and the cooperation works well, this could become a longer-term cooperation with around 2–3 Shorts per week, depending on my available time. Payment can be either a fixed price per video/project or hourly. I’m open to both options. Please include your preferred pricing model and your estimated price.

Hi, I work with short-form content where pacing, clarity, and retention matter more than anything else. I focus on turning raw phone footage into structured, engaging YouTube Shorts that hold attention from the first second through to the final frame, using clean edits, rhythm-based cuts, and purposeful visual emphasis. For your test project, I would edit your vertical footage into a polished 9:16 format optimized for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. This includes captions that enhance readability and retention, selective use of zooms, transitions, and sound design, along with basic color correction and audio cleanup to ensure a consistent viewing experience across devices. I’m comfortable working flexibly based on your upload schedule and can adapt to variable workloads as your channel develops. For pricing, I typically prefer a per-video model for Shorts, depending on complexity, with the option to shift into a weekly retainer if we move into a consistent 2–3 video workflow. Regards, Moiz.

Hi! Starting a new channel means the editing style has to grow with the content — what works in the first few Shorts often shifts once you see what the audience responds to, so flexibility matters more than a fixed template. What's the channel going to be about?

Hi, I’d be happy to edit your first test YouTube Short and help shape a modern, engaging style for your new channel. I understand you’re starting fresh, so for the first video I’d focus on clean pacing, sharp cuts, captions, subtle zooms, sound effects, music, basic color correction, and audio cleanup — making the raw phone footage feel more polished and entertaining for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels. For pricing, I prefer a fixed price per video so it stays simple for you. For the test project, I can start around $20–$30 per Short, depending on the raw footage length and editing complexity. If the collaboration works well, we can set a consistent rate for 2–3 Shorts per week. You can view my portfolio here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/ZiaulHaqueke Best regards, Ziaul.

Hi, Turning raw smartphone footage into high-retention viral assets is how I will transform your channel's initial launch into a traffic magnet. By editing your mobile videos into rapid-fire, engaging YouTube Shorts, I can hook viewers within the first three seconds before they swipe away. This strategic editing delivers direct value to your new channel: 1. Skyrockets your viewer retention rate through strategically placed zooms, cuts, and sound effects. 2. Drives higher audience engagement by using dynamic, readable captions that keep people watching on mute. 3. Sustains a professional brand image with crisp audio enhancement and clean color correction.

My daily production workflow is built around Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to handle fast-paced pacing and modern transitions. I also design high-click thumbnails and write optimized video descriptions to help push your content to the correct feeds. Since you are filming on a phone, are you recording in 4K or 1080p so I can optimize the final render settings? Regarding pricing, I prefer a fixed rate of $40 per 30 second Short, which gives you predictable costs. Let's hop on a quick chat to discuss your project goals and exchange sample work that aligns with your needs. Umer W.
