YouTube Video Editor for a YouTube Channel with 100k Subscribers

Hi, my name is Kitaro Waga. I run a YouTube channel with almost 100k subscribers where I teach breathwork, mindfulness, and other health practices. My videos are long-form talking-head videos, and my goal is to make high-quality, science-backed content accessible to people who want to improve their health, performance, and mindset.

I’m looking for a skilled video editor to collaborate with long-term so I can focus more on filming and growing the channel.

Responsibilities
• Edit 1–2 YouTube videos (long-form only) per week (typically 10–20 minutes each)
• Create and integrate slides and visuals that match my brand
• Add fitting b-roll where needed (from my B-Roll library)
• Create clean, minimal, professional edits (not over-the-top, but engaging and polished)
• Add titles, text overlays, and simple transitions consistent with my style
• Export videos optimized for YouTube and a podcast variation
• Communicate with me for feedback and iterate quickly when needed

What I’m Looking For (Value + Vibe)
• Reliable and consistent delivery
• Experience editing YouTube-style educational content
• Proficient in English for text and slides creation
• Someone who enjoys clean, modern and minimal editing styles (Ali Abdaal, Alex Hormozi, Diary of a CEO, Ed Lawrence)

Vision
My aim is to help people live healthier, calmer, and more intentional lives through breathwork and mindfulness. Ideally, I’d love to work with someone who resonates with that vision and cares about producing meaningful content—not just churning out edits.

Editing Skills
• Proficiency in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve (Final Cut is a plus since I sometimes make tweaks myself)
• Graphic design / motion graphics experience


Compensation
I’m happy to pay $100–$200 per video depending on experience, complexity, and speed. Open to discussing per-hour or per-project pricing. Looking for a long-term partnership if we’re a good fit.

Hiring Process (Verification)
If this sounds interesting, I’d like to give you a short trial task: editing a 5–7 minute clip into a polished mini-video. This will help us both see if our styles align.

Here are some reference videos of some of my latest videos I edited:

This is my current vibe, how I edit (no over-the-top edits):

How to Apply
• Write a short cover letter introducing yourself / bonus points for a short Loom video (1 min is enough)
• Include the word rabbit at the top so I know you read the description carefully
• Share links to 2–3 YouTube videos you’ve edited (long-form, talking-head for YT)
• Let me know your preferred software, turnaround time, and rate per video

Looking forward to finding someone who can join me long-term and bring these videos to life.
