Are you a talented video editor with a passion for storytelling and a love for cars? MrCarSounds, a leading name in automotive content with over 11 million followers across multiple social media platforms, is searching for a skilled editor to enhance our YouTube channel's long-form content. You'll work with Greg Gevojanyan, the creative mind behind our brand, who is renowned for his unique car engine sound imitations and collaborations with top-tier brands like Ubisoft and Mobil 1.
Your primary focus will be crafting documentary-style videos, engaging vlogs, and captivating brand partnership series that range from 10 to 20 minutes. These are not your typical social media clips; they are polished narratives that form the backbone of our premium content strategy, driving significant value for our brand partners.
While we provide detailed outlines, music guides, and pacing notes to help structure your work, we value creativity and independent thinking. We are looking for editors who can bring their own vision and instincts to the table, enhancing the story beyond the initial framework. If you have the experience and insight to transform raw footage into a compelling story that resonates with our audience, we want to hear from you.
This role is remote and on a contract basis, with the potential for ongoing collaboration. We expect a turnaround of 5-7 days for rough cuts and 2-3 days for revisions. Flexibility and open communication are key, as we strive for high-quality content that meets our brand's exacting standards.
Our editing style is clean, minimal, and documentary-focused. We aim for seamless, invisible editing where the story shines, not the effects. If your portfolio highlights hard-cut edits and professional, polished narratives, you might be the perfect fit. However, if your experience is more aligned with effects-heavy, short-form content, this role might not match your strengths.
You will collaborate closely with Greg, who provides the creative direction, and you'll bring your editing expertise to ensure each video is engaging and meets our high standards. If you see ways to enhance a narrative or find stronger footage than anticipated, your input will be valued. Ultimately, while the path to the final cut is flexible, our commitment to a premium, professional look is unwavering.
We are seeking an editor who is detail-oriented, reliable, and has a strong grasp of pacing and storytelling. You'll need to communicate effectively, staying proactive about deadlines and project updates. Experience with long-form YouTube content is essential, as is proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
Requirements include: Experience in editing long-form YouTube videos, a portfolio showcasing clean editing, a reliable internet connection, and proficiency in English for detailed communication. Familiarity with automotive content and tools like Frame.io is a plus.
To apply, please submit your portfolio or reel showcasing your long-form, clean-edit YouTube work. Include a brief note explaining why this role aligns with your experience, your availability for project turnarounds, and your rate per video or hourly, specifying what is included in your rate.
