Video Editor and Prod Staff

About the client: I run a weekly video podcast (about 45-60 min per episode) and need someone to handle the post-production side so I can focus on content and guests. Scope of work (~10 hrs/week): Edit one main episode per week — cut dead air, filler words, awkward pauses, tighten pacing Sync multi-camera or multi-track audio/video if we're recording with more than one angle Basic color correction and audio leveling/noise cleanup Add simple graphics: lower thirds, intro/outro, episode title cards Cut 3-5 short clips per episode for social media (vertical format for Reels/TikTok/Shorts) with captions burned in Publish in the right specs for YouTube, Spotify, Substack, plus other social platforms Requirements: Would be great if they had experience with Descript An eye for pulling "hook" moments out of long-form conversation for short clips Comfortable with a turnaround of 2-3 business days per episode Reliable communication (async is fine, but responsive within a day) Can follow a style guide/brand kit once we establish one Detail-oriented — this is a talking-head show, so cutting rhythm and keeping energy up matters more than flashy effects Budget/logistics: Ongoing weekly gig, not project-based Open to contractor rate per episode or hourly, whichever you'd recommend for scoping this correctly
