About the Role
Were looking for a creative Video Editor to handle end-to-end post-production for a childrens YouTube channel at Golden Jackal Studios. You’ll work closely with our in-house creators, writers, and AI production pipeline to shape a channel that’s bright, playful, safe, and genuinely compelling for young audiences.
What You’ll Do
Editing & Assembly
- Handle full end-to-end edits, from raw footage to polished final exports ready for YouTube.
- Cut and pace content to hold the attention of audiences aged 2–13.
- Sync dialogue, performances, and audio with precision across long-form and short-form content.
- Edit and produce YouTube Shorts optimised for vertical viewing, fast hooks, and high retention, including caption overlays, pacing adjustments, and platform-native formatting.
- Perform colour correction and grading to ensure visual consistency, warmth, and vibrancy across live-action and AI-generated footage.
Collaboration & Creative Process
- Work closely with on-screen creators, writers, and the development team throughout the production process.
- Integrate seamlessly into an AI-assisted video production workflow, applying the same editorial rigour to AI-generated and AI-augmented content as live footage.
- Participate in creative reviews, offer editorial feedback, and actively help shape the channel’s visual language.
Motion Graphics & Visual Design
- Create animated title cards, lower thirds, transitions, and episodic intros and outros.
- Design and animate graphic overlays, including callout bubbles, sticker pops, scoreboards, progress bars, and reaction graphics.
- Maintain a consistent visual style across all videos and Shorts.
Sound Design & Audio
- Source, edit, and layer sound effects to enhance storytelling beats, including swooshes, pops, and boings.
- Select and edit background music that complements the mood and pacing without overpowering dialogue.
- Mix and master audio to broadcast-quality standards, ensuring clean and child-safe output.
- Work comfortably with royalty-free music libraries such as Epidemic Sound and Artlist.
Workflow & Delivery
- Manage project files, proxies, and asset libraries using an organised and easily retrievable structure.
- Export content in multiple formats and resolutions, including YouTube 1080p and 4K, vertical Shorts in 9:16, and thumbnails.
- Iterate quickly based on creative direction and feedback from multiple stakeholders.
