Editor for Hunting / Western Outdoor Channel

I run a family?friendly hunting and Western outdoor channel called “Jefe’s Adventures.” I’m looking for a long?term video editor who loves story and wants to grow with the channel.

What you’ll do (starting phase):

Edit one long?form YouTube video per week, fifteen?plus minutes

From that same edit, create:
One main cut for YouTube

One main cut for Facebook (optimized for Facebook viewing)

One vertical short for Facebook Reels

One vertical short for YouTube Shorts / TikTok

While you edit, actively look for short?form ---------- nts and mark them (timestamps, notes, or separate sequences)





What you’ll do later (growth phase):

Be able to edit at least two long?form videos per week so we can build a buffer and stay ahead on releases

Continue pulling out short?form clips from those long videos

Style and values:

Hunting / Western outdoor lifestyle content

Clean and family?friendly: no swearing, no weird or gory close?ups

Focus on real stories: the mental game, the grind, the family side, wins and losses, not just kill shots

Skills that matter:

Strong sense of storytelling: you can take scattered clips and make a clear, engaging episode

Very strong audio skills: clean voices, good levels, and sound that keeps people watching

Comfortable with hunting and outdoor lingo (or willing to learn it fast)

Can keep pacing tight without losing the real, laid?back vibe

Basic color, sound, and titles that fit the Western/outdoor feel

Bonus (not required): you can suggest thumbnail ideas or simple thumbnail designs

How to apply:

Start your message with “Jefe Editor Story” so I know you read this

Send 3 links to videos you edited (outdoors, hunting, adventure, or vlog?style if possible)

Tell me your weekly or monthly rate for this workload (starting with one long?form and one short per week)

Tell me what editing software you use and your computer specs

In 2–3 sentences, tell me how you approach storytelling when the footage is messy or out of order
