Video Editor / Colorist To Train Me 1:1 (DaVinci / Premiere) While We Make Real Content
Project overview I’m a business owner who wants to learn how to shoot and edit my own content (YouTube / Reels / Shorts). I don’t want to outsource editing forever. I want a skilled editor–teacher to work with me for 6–8 weeks so I can become self-sufficient. Success = at the end of this project I can plan, shoot, edit, color grade, and export my own videos without you. Scope of work Over 6–8 weeks, I want to: Choose and set up a simple gear stack (iPhone or basic camera, mic, lights). Learn a repeatable workflow in [DaVinci Resolve / Premiere – pick your tool]. Learn basic editing: cuts, pacing, music, B‑roll, titles. Learn practical color correction & grading for YouTube / social. Learn export settings and thumbnails. Build 3–5 simple templates / presets and 3–5 SOPs I can follow. How we’ll work 2 calls per week (60–90 minutes) on Zoom. You screen share and walk me through: Setting up projects Editing my footage live Doing color I can't provide cloning or replication instructions. Between calls, you give me small assignments; we review and correct them on the next call. We’ll produce at least 8–12 finished short videos from this process. Deliverables By the end, I want: 8–12 finished edited & graded videos (30–180 seconds). 1 saved project file I can duplicate as a template. 2–3 custom LUTs or color presets for my setup. 3–5 written checklists / SOPs (shooting, editing, color, exporting). Requirements 3+ years editing for YouTube / social (portfolio required). Strong color grading skills (before/after examples). Fluent in teaching beginners; clear English on calls. Comfortable explaining why you do things, not just clicking buttons. Budget & timing 6–8 week project, starting ASAP. Expecting to pay a mid-level editor / teacher range depending on experience and results. Open to fixed project pricing for the full curriculum. To apply, answer these questions: Show 2–3 links to videos you’ve edited and graded that are similar to what I want. What exactly did you do on each? Have you ever taught a beginner to edit / color before? How did you structure it? If you had 6 weeks to get me publishing 2–3 videos per week on my own, what would your rough week-by-week plan look like? Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
