We are looking for a freelance video editor to create content from GTA V roleplay livestreams and VODs.
Each project may include up to 16 hours of source footage. The editor will be responsible for turning the footage into a complete content package, which may include:
- A main VOD or long-form YouTube video
- Highlight clips
- Short-form videos
- Thumbnails for the completed content
This opportunity is best suited for an aspiring editor, someone building their portfolio, or someone interested in GTA V RP and gaming content.
Project Responsibilities
Depending on the assigned project, the editor may be responsible for:
- Reviewing up to 16 hours of GTA V RP source footage
- Identifying funny, dramatic, emotional, or story-driven moments
- Editing the main VOD or long-form YouTube video
- Creating highlight clips from the same footage
- Creating short-form videos for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and similar platforms
- Creating thumbnails for assigned videos
- Removing downtime, loading screens, repetitive conversations, and unnecessary footage
- Organizing scenes into a clear and entertaining story
- Creating engaging hooks and introductions
- Adding captions, sound effects, music, zooms, and graphics when appropriate
- Making agreed revisions based on feedback
- Exporting the completed videos in the required formats
- Providing organized Adobe project files and any assets used
The exact number and length of long-form videos, clips, shorts, and thumbnails will be confirmed before each project is accepted.
Compensation
This is a commission-based independent-contractor opportunity.
Each completed and approved project includes a guaranteed minimum payment of $50.
The contractor will also receive an agreed percentage of the qualifying revenue generated by the content they edit during the applicable revenue-tracking period.
Total compensation will be whichever amount is higher:
- The guaranteed $50 project minimum, or
- The earned revenue-share commission
Example
If the earned commission is $30:
- Guaranteed project minimum: $50
- Total payment: $50
If the earned commission is $100:
- Earned commission: $100
- Total payment: $100
The revenue-share percentage, eligible revenue, tracking period, payment schedule, deliverables, and revision limits will be provided in writing before each project begins.
Earnings above the guaranteed $50 minimum are not guaranteed and depend on the revenue generated by the completed content.
Software Requirements
Video editing must be completed using:
- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Adobe After Effects when additional effects or motion graphics are required
Editors who only use DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Final Cut Pro, or other editing software will not be considered.
Applicants must also be able to create thumbnails. Photoshop or another design program may be used for thumbnail creation, but all video-editing project files must be compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Requirements
- Strong English comprehension
- Understanding of video pacing and storytelling
- Interest in gaming, livestream, or creator content
- Ability to edit both long-form and short-form content

- Ability to meet agreed project deadlines
- Willingness to receive and apply constructive feedback
Previous professional experience is preferred but not required.
Experience with GTA V roleplay, FiveM, Twitch, YouTube, or gaming content is a plus.
Independent-Contractor Structure
This is an independent-contractor opportunity and not an employee position.
Contractors may:
- Accept or decline individual projects
- Choose their own working hours

Each project’s scope, deadline, deliverables, revision limits, and compensation terms will be agreed upon before work begins.
