Job Description
Full job description
We're a YouTube channel focused on scripted narrative and documentary-style storytelling about video games. Our content covers the history, culture, and emotion behind the games people love — evergreen stories built to last. Think long-form, researched, cinematic. We're a small team that cares deeply about quality.
The role
We're looking for a freelance video editor who can take a finished script and recorded voiceover and build a complete, polished YouTube video from the ground up. You'll be responsible for sourcing gameplay footage, B-roll, archival material, and any other visual assets needed to tell the story — then cutting it all into a cohesive, engaging edit that matches the tone and pacing of our channel.
This is a production role. The creative direction and narrative are already set when the edit begins. Your job is to bring the story to life visually.
What you'll do
Receive a finalized script and voiceover recording and produce a complete video edit ready for review
Source and cut gameplay footage, screen recordings, trailers, and archival game content that matches the script beat by beat
Find and incorporate relevant B-roll, documentary-style cutaways, and supplemental visuals to support the narration
Apply music, sound design, and atmospheric audio to enhance pacing and emotional tone
Handle titles, lower thirds, basic motion graphics, and on-screen text in line with our channel style
Deliver a polished first cut with revisions based on feedback from our creative lead
Work within deadlines and communicate proactively if timelines shift
What we're looking for
A genuine passion for video games — you need to understand the games, studios, and culture our videos cover
Strong editorial instincts: you know how to match footage to narration, control pacing, and keep a viewer engaged across a 15–25 minute video
Experience sourcing gameplay and game-related footage from YouTube, Twitch VODs, press kits, and similar sources
Proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent professional editing software
A portfolio that demonstrates long-form narrative or documentary-style editing — gaming niche strongly preferred
Ability to work independently and deliver a full, polished edit with minimal direction once a script and VO are in hand
Clear written communication and responsiveness throughout production
Nice to have
Familiarity with esports history, competitive gaming, or classic game development stories
Experience with motion graphics or After Effects for title sequences and overlays
