VIDEO EDITOR — YouTube Lifestyle Channel | Long-Term Role We're Fraser and Stefanie — an online business couple based in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, living and travelling full-time in a motorhome while running our businesses remotely. We're launching a YouTube channel documenting our lifestyle and we're looking for a skilled, reliable video editor to be part of this journey long-term. This is not a one-off gig. We're building something real, and we want someone who takes their craft seriously and wants to grow with us. What the Channel Is The content covers our life on the road — travel, destinations, working online, living with freedom and purpose. Underneath that, the channel supports two businesses: an Enagic health and wellness distributorship and an energy healing and coaching brand. The tone is authentic, aspirational, and human. Think lifestyle documentary, not polished corporate content. Real people, real moments, real life — edited with skill and intention. We shoot approximately 20–30 minutes of raw footage per finished video and publish around 4 videos per month on YouTube. Equipment You'll Be Working With Insta360 X5 — this is our primary camera. You must be fully proficient with this footage type. DJI Osmo handheld camera DJI Drone for aerial shots Audio voiceovers supplied by us and mixed into the edit Insta360 Technical Requirements — Non-Negotiable You must have hands-on experience working with Insta360 footage. Specifically: Proficient in Insta360 Studio (desktop), including the full import and reframe workflow Ability to work with .insv file format — understanding that the X5 produces a single .insv file and how to import it correctly into Studio Manual reframing — using keyframes to direct the viewer's perspective across a clip, setting pan, tilt, roll, FOV, and distortion parameters Creating dynamic camera movement through keyframe animation — smooth transitions between perspectives to create intentional, cinematic motion within the 360 sphere Applying FlowState stabilisation correctly within Studio before export Converting 360 footage to clean 16:9 flat output for YouTube Knowledge of view presets (Linear, Wide, Natural, Tiny Planet, Crystal Ball) and when to use each creatively Exporting reframed footage at the correct resolution and codec for downstream editing in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro If you've never worked with Insta360 footage before, please do not apply.

We're looking for someone with genuine editorial judgment — who knows what to cut, what to keep, and how to tell a story. What We're Looking For Proven experience editing YouTube lifestyle, travel, or vlog content — portfolio links required Full technical proficiency with Insta360 Studio as described above Experience with DJI drone footage — colour matching aerial and ground-level footage Competent at audio work — voiceover integration, music selection and licensing awareness, ambient sound handling Works to a deadline without chasing Communicates clearly and concisely Takes feedback professionally and implements it accurately What We're Not Looking For Over-editors. People who need constant hand-holding. People who apply without reading the brief. If your portfolio is all corporate talking-head or music video content with no lifestyle YouTube work, this isn't the right fit. Project Details Ongoing, long-term role Approximately 4 videos per month Budget: $100-150 per video, depending on experience. Please include your portfolio, confirmation of Insta360 Studio experience, and your preferred rate per finished video minute or monthly retainer We take our work seriously. We expect the same.

Motion Graphics Animator – YouTube Channel

I'm building a serious documentary YouTube channel investigating cybercrime and financial crime — the kind of in-depth storytelling people watch at midnight and can't stop. Think channels like Fern, Hoog, and Wendover Productions. I handle everything on the creative and narrative side — research, scripting, voiceover, and direction. I need an animator who can take that and make it visual. This is a long-term partnership. I'm not looking for one video. I'm looking for someone to grow with. ———————————————— WHAT EACH VIDEO NEEDS → Animated maps — locations, movement, money trails, transaction flows → Data animations — figures, percentages, timelines coming to life → Text and fact reveals — key names, dates, amounts appearing with impact → Scene transitions and motion overlays synced to narration → Dark, cinematic documentary visual style throughout AI tools (Runway ML, Kling AI, Midjourney, or similar) are welcome and encouraged — I want us working smart, not slow. Videos: 10–20 minutes | 2 per month ———————————————— YOU'RE THE RIGHT FIT IF: ✅ You understand motion as storytelling, not decoration ✅ You can animate a money flow diagram or location map from scratch ✅ Adobe After Effects is in your toolkit ✅ You're familiar with channels like Fern or Hoog (or willing to study them) ✅ You're comfortable using or experimenting with AI video tools ✅ You're reliable, communicative, and take deadlines seriously You're NOT the right fit if your work is built around social media edits, cartoon characters, or bright explainer content. Different skill set — just not what this channel needs. ———————————————— BUDGET & TERMS Rate: $150 per video (fixed price per project) Volume: 2 videos per month = $300/month ongoing Payment: Per video on completion, via PeoplePerHour I'll be honest — this is a startup budget. The channel is early stage. But the work is consistent, the creative brief is clear, and the budget grows as the channel grows. If you're building your portfolio in the documentary/cinematic space, this is real, regular work with creative freedom. ———————————————— TO APPLY Send me: → Portfolio or showreel (motion graphics work, documentary or dark/cinematic preferred) → Tools and software you use → Confirmation you're comfortable with the $150/video rate To show me you actually read this posting, start your message with DARK MONEY and tell me in one line what visual style this channel uses. Skip this and I won't reply — nothing personal, just how I keep things efficient. Remote. Serious. Long-term. Let's build something.
