About the client:
I run a weekly video podcast (about 45-60 min per episode) and need someone to handle the post-production side so I can focus on content and guests.
Scope of work (~10 hrs/week):
- Edit one main episode per week — cut dead air, filler words, awkward pauses, tighten pacing
- Sync multi-camera or multi-track audio/video if we're recording with more than one angle
- Basic color correction and audio leveling/noise cleanup
- Add simple graphics: lower thirds, intro/outro, episode title cards
- Cut 3-5 short clips per episode for social media (vertical format for Reels/TikTok/Shorts) with captions burned in
- Publish in the right specs for YouTube, Spotify, Substack, plus other social platforms
Requirements:
- Would be great if they had experience with Descript
- An eye for pulling "hook" moments out of long-form conversation for short clips
- Comfortable with a turnaround of 2-3 business days per episode
- Reliable communication (async is fine, but responsive within a day)
- Can follow a style guide/brand kit once we establish one
- Detail-oriented — this is a talking-head show, so cutting rhythm and keeping energy up matters more than flashy effects
Budget/logistics:
- Ongoing weekly gig, not project-based
- Open to contractor rate per episode or hourly, whichever you'd recommend for scoping this correctly
Skills Required
- Experience with Descript
- Ability to identify compelling hook moments in long-form conversations for short clips
- Ability to complete each episode within 2–3 business days
- Reliable and responsive communication within one day
- Ability to follow a style guide and brand kit
- Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain pacing and energy in talking-head content
