I run multiple YouTube Shorts channels and I'm looking for an editor who can help produce short-form vertical videos on a consistent basis. The videos are generally 20–30 seconds long and fairly simple to edit. Most follow a ranking-style format such as: “Top 5 Hidden Places on Earth” “Top 5 Funniest Fails” “Top 5 Craziest Moments” I will provide the general video idea/direction. Editing typically involves: Finding/organizing appropriate clips Cutting 5 clips into a fast-paced ranking Adding ranking numbers and location/name text Simple transitions/zoom effects where appropriate Adding music/audio Creating a strong opening hook Exporting vertically in 1080x1920 (9:16) Most finished videos will be under 30 seconds. I'm currently looking to see what editors would charge PER VIDEO, rather than an hourly rate. Please include in your proposal: 1. Your price per completed Short 2. How many Shorts you could produce per day/week 3. Examples of Shorts/TikTok/Reels you've edited 4. Whether your price includes sourcing the clips If the quality and pricing are a good fit, this could become consistent ongoing work with multiple videos per week. I'm primarily looking for someone who understands fast-paced YouTube Shorts editing, retention, hooks, and keeping viewers watching until the end.

Hi, I can create fast-paced ranking Shorts with strong hooks, clean cuts, engaging text, zooms, music and pacing designed to keep viewers watching until the end. My rate is $10 per completed Short, including clip sourcing. I can comfortably handle 5–10 Shorts per day depending on the volume and sourcing requirements. I’m happy to start with a few test videos so you can judge the quality and pacing before moving into ongoing work. Best, Explainer Hub Production

$18 per completed Short with clip sourcing included, $14 when you supply clips, 2 finished Shorts per day. A 20–30 second Top 5 ranking is won by the hook in the first 1.5 seconds and beat-mapped pacing across the 5 entries, which is exactly what I build every cut around. That covers the full job: license-safe clip hunting, ranking numbers, name and location text, punch-in zooms, transitions, music and a clean 1080x1920 export. The pacing rule I follow: each entry cuts slightly faster than the last so nobody swipes before the #1 reveal, and I'll make sure that payoff lands before the 28-second mark. First cut arrives watermarked before any milestone release, one revision round included. Do you already have a clip bank for these channels, or should I start at $18 with sourcing handled?

I can also handle sourcing, organizing, editing, ranking numbers, text, music, transitions, zooms, and final export. I’d be happy to share relevant Shorts/Reels samples.

A 20–30 second Short can be simple to edit, but keeping someone watching until the fifth clip is where the real work is. Your ranking format is exactly the kind of content that needs a strong first-second hook, fast pacing, clear visual progression, and enough movement between each ranking to stop viewers from scrolling away. The price would be **$10 per completed Short, including sourcing and organizing the clips**, editing, ranking text, transitions, zooms, music, hook, and final 1080x1920 export. With a clear content direction, you could expect **3–5 Shorts per day and 15–25 per week**, depending on how much research and sourcing each topic requires. I can also share relevant short-form editing examples so you can see the pacing and style before moving forward. Are you planning to provide the specific source clips for some videos, or should every Short include full clip research and sourcing based only on the topic??

My price is $25 per completed 20–30 second Short, including a ranking-style edit, opening hook, numbered captions, sound balancing, and 1080x1920 export. I can plan for 5–8 Shorts per week once the format and source pipeline are approved, with the first paid test in two days. Basic sourcing from usable licensed/free libraries is included; specific viral clips requiring permission or paid licences are not. I use Premiere Pro/After Effects. I do not have a matching public Shorts reel to attach, so I would rather demonstrate the style with one paid test than claim unrelated work as an example.

Hi, Yes, this is a strong fit. We regularly work with fast-paced vertical content where the first 1–2 seconds, pacing and retention matter more than overcomplicated editing. For your ranking-style Shorts, I can handle: • Finding and organising relevant clips • Strong opening hooks • Fast Top 5 / ranking-style pacing • Ranking numbers, names and location text • Clean zooms, transitions and motion • Music + sound effects • 1080×1920 YouTube Shorts exports • Consistent visual style across bulk batches For this format, I’d make sure every ranking reveal creates curiosity for the next one instead of simply stitching five clips together. The editing would stay fast, clean and native to Shorts. I can share relevant Shorts/Reels samples and would be happy to start with an initial batch. Civati

GIVE ME 10 SECONDS TO SHOW YOU HOW I’D APPROACH THIS FROM DAY ONE. Your goal of producing consistent, engaging YouTube Shorts across multiple channels is clear. The key is making each ranking video feel fast-paced and compelling while keeping viewers watching through to the final entry. A real risk here is letting the format become repetitive or predictable. I’d focus on strong opening hooks, quick cuts, clear ranking graphics, well-selected clips and tight pacing that keeps the gameplay moving without unnecessary effects. I’d start by sourcing and organising the strongest clips for each topic, then structure each Short around the hook and ranking flow, adding clean text, music, transitions and subtle effects before delivering the final 1080x1920 video. I have experience with short-form video editing, CapCut, Premiere Pro and social media content, with a strong focus on retention, pacing and clean visual storytelling. I’ll share relevant examples of my previous work directly in the chat. Regards, Enrique

✋ Hi, the main thing with this format is keeping the pace tight enough that viewers want to stay through all five entries. I’d structure each Short around a strong first-second hook, then move quickly through the ranking with clean number/title overlays, simple zooms or transitions, and music that supports the pace without making the edit feel overdone. If clip sourcing is included, I’d also keep the footage visually consistent and relevant to each ranking. For ongoing work, I’d build a repeatable editing format so volume can increase without every video feeling different. Do you expect the editor to source all five clips for each Short, or will you provide some of the footage and only need the final edit?
