DaVinci Resolve Editor for Cinematic YouTube Mini-Doc (Paid Intro Test, Potential for Ongoing Work) - Contract to Hire

🌍 Remote, USA 💹 Full-time 🕐 Posted Recently

Job Description

I produce ~15-minute documentaries for YouTube using clips gathered from the internet. The style is cinematic with a strong touch of humor (good pacing, subtle comedic timing, and polished storytelling). Here is a link to one of my completed videos for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=xQDQxW7PAng

Right now I’m working on a new video about the Weeknd, and I’ve completed a 90-second intro with narration + music + clips and a basic edit. However, my editing skills aren’t great, so I’m looking for a professional editor to elevate this intro into something that feels high-end and intentional.

Attached is an mp4 file for the intro in its current state.

What I need help with now (Phase 1: Intro)

  • Improve the edit of my existing 90-second intro
  • Enhance pacing, sound design, and overall “cinematic” feel
  • Add subtle animations / motion graphics if/where it makes sense
  • No color grading needed

Software / Workflow (important)

I work in DaVinci Resolve. Ideally you can edit in Resolve and can return a Resolve project / timeline (or deliverables that drop in cleanly)

If you only use Premiere/After Effects/etc., please explain how we can collaborate smoothly

Ongoing Work

If you crush the intro, I’ll likely hire you to help with the rest of the 15-minute video and possibly future projects.

Requirements

  • Strong English comprehension (must clearly understand intent and tone)
  • Experience editing YouTube documentaries or cinematic content
  • Strong sense of story + pacing
  • Ability to match cinematic + humorous tone

To apply, please include:

  • Any examples of similar work (cinematic doc / YouTube doc / storytelling edits)
  • A quick note on your DaVinci Resolve experience (or your proposed cross-software workflow)
  • A few sentences on how you’d approach improving the 90-second intro
  • Please start your response with “[ANY LINE FROM THE VO OF OUR CURRENT INTRO]” (so I know you’ve looked at the file)

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you!
