Looking for an editor for a specific YouTube video, with the prospect of ongoing collaboration.
We have a channel in the style of comic horror: without too harsh jump scares, blood, and overly scary moments. It is more important to create a tense atmosphere, intrigue, strangeness, light cringe, and comedic effect.
The video will be in simple English.
What needs to be done
There is source material up to 20 minutes.
The finished video should be about 10 minutes.
Tasks include:
- assembling the video in the correct sequence according to the logic of the script;
- selecting and keeping the best takes;
- removing unnecessary pauses and weak moments;
- maintaining a clear plot and dynamics;
- adding a tense, but not too scary atmosphere;
- inserting images/characters created by AI;
- “animating” AI images through Kling;
- adding strange AI effects, light comedic cringe;
- adding background music and sounds.
The background music will be provided by me, only that should be used.
I will also provide basic sounds.
Working with AI / Kling
The video includes AI inserts and short generations through Kling.
On average, this is about 10-20 generations per video, but it depends on the specific video.
The usual scheme is as follows:
- a frame is taken from the video;
- a character is added if necessary;
- the frame is sent to Kling;
- a simple description of the action is written for it;
- the resulting fragment is inserted into the edit.
Sometimes the character needs to be carefully inserted into the frame in advance using AI, Photoshop, Affinity Photo 2, or another convenient tool.
Expenses for Kling are paid separately / I provide access or pay for generations separately — this should not be included in the editing cost.
Preferably
Editing in Vegas Pro is preferred.
Then I can receive the project from you without final rendering, and I can make minor edits myself.
But if you work in another program — that can also be discussed.
What is important
I need not just a technical editor, but a person who understands:
- how to hold the viewer's attention;
- where to enhance the tension;
- where to leave a funny or strange moment;
- how to make horror atmospheric and a bit absurd, not harsh;
- how to organically insert AI fragments into the plot.
In your response, please write:
- What program you edit in.
- If you have experience with YouTube videos, horror, comedy, or AI inserts. Provide examples of your work.
- Approximately how much the editing of such a video will cost.
- How much time is needed for one video.
- If you can work with Kling / Photoshop / Affinity / AI tools.
