i, we are
small businesses use AI to save time. We are building a YouTube
channel and need a great video editor to work with us long term.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO
We will send you:
- Talking head footage of our presenter

cut to something visual
- Our logo and brand files
- A photo for the thumbnail

You will edit it into a finished YouTube video like the
reference above.

HERE IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED
STEP 1 — EDIT THE TALKING HEAD
- Cut out all pauses, ums, ahs and silences
- Make the cuts feel tight and energetic
- Add a small zoom in and out (3-5%) alternating
on each cut
- Make the colour look cool, clean and professional
STEP 2 — ADD CUTAWAY VISUALS
At certain points in the script we need to cut away
from the presenter and show something visual.
You can do this two ways — use whichever you are
best at:
- Simple animations showing the idea being discussed
- Clean visual mockups showing what is on screen
Make them look modern, minimal and professional.
Zoom in slowly on important parts.
Add a visible circle around the cursor when clicking.
STEP 3 — ADD TEXT ON SCREEN
When the presenter says something important, add bold
white text on the lower part of the screen.
Keep it on screen for 2-3 seconds then fade it out.
STEP 4 — ADD INTRO AND OUTRO
Start with a 3 second logo card on a dark background.
End with a 20 second screen showing subscribe button
and
STEP 5 — ADD MUSIC
Add background music that is low volume and modern.
It should not be louder than the presenter's voice.
STEP 6 — MAKE THE THUMBNAIL
Size: 1280 x 720 pixels
- Dark background
- Photo of presenter on the right side
- Bold white text on the left side (maximum 6 words)
- One important word in red or yellow
-
I will tell you what words to use for each video.

WHAT YOU SEND BACK TO US
- Final video file (MP4, 1080p or better)
- Thumbnail image (JPG and PNG)
- Your project file so we can make small changes
if needed

HOW MUCH WORK IS THERE
We need 2-4 videos per month to start.
We also need 2-3 short videos (under 60 seconds,
