You are always so thorough in your details, making sure to give us the absolute best of what you can share with us. Please know how much we appreciate that. I have also used Upwork in the past (when we still called it Elance) and I agree that is a great place to find some amazing video editors, as well as other team members to help you grow your TH-cam channel or online business, like logo designers, ebook writers, etc. And like you share in your video, it's so important to build that connection with your editor, to the point that if they no longer wish to edit videos any longer, they'll have a great referral ready to take on your projects because they won't want to just leave you hanging. Thank-you for introducing your own editors with us, what an awesome team! Great video Gillian! I highly recommend subscribing to your channel. I've been a loyal fan for over two years now, you always go the extra mile. A great role model for sure!
I learnt this mistake of not hiring a video editor the hard way. I should've treated it like a business from the start even before I started earning from it.
This is a great video especially the "tips" at the last part. I am a photo and video editor. I worked (and still working) on different types of videos from music, interviews, short film, events, weddings, etc... I can tell with certainty that "communication" before starting any project saves a lot of time and targetless revisions... To have a clear understanding of what the final video output is for (Who your video is for and message), availability, turnaround time, service costs are just some of the topics to discuss before having an agreement... To all clients and editors reading this message - may you have a good, friendly, fruitful and professional relationship always. God bless you and your works!
really insightful video--my advice as an editor is for those seeking editors, be as detailed as possible with briefs for videos. The more detailed and well planned out a video is, the easier the edit will be. Try and refrain from filming, and then thinking about what you want it to look like after. No one likes loads of revisions, communication is key. As well as this, try and remember editors are creative people! When you hand over a video to edit, it will not come out exactly the same as if you yourself were to edit it, just like any art!
I'm a video editor for more than 10 years, and I've had a lot of clients who don't give enough details on how they want me to edit their videos. What he said about damaging the relationship when having too much revisions is true. They give you raw videos. Doesn't give you enough details. You edit it and then they want some revisions. It's crazy.
This happened to me recently. I asked for a rough draft, layout so I can have an idea of what the person wanted. Wouldn't give me anything so I just guessed. Then they had to nerve to say they're concerned about paying for "simple edits " 🙄
@@travismalone4575 Hey man. I just read your comment today. I would have grabbed this opportunity if I saw this sooner. But now I'm working on a long term project.
I am a former small-time animation celebrity with over 15 years of experience. I am available and very flexible when it comes to pay rate. My editing work can be seen on my channel. We can speak via Discord or Email.
This video really fills a need that I have been having for quite some time. Thank you Gillian for taking the time to really give us a quality video. Your interview was fantastic. And I really learned from your demonstration (using your own computer) was good. I truly can tell that you put a lot of thought into each of your videos. That is a great example for me. I would love to see an example of your TH-cam outline. A future video suggestion for me would showing us step by step how you outline your own TH-cam videos. God bless you!
I have been editing for 4 years now and this is the best video that has been recommended to me. I’ve worked for channels with 2m and 11m subscribers and they follow all the steps that you mentioned. Also, more successful the TH-camr is, more humble they are. I will share this video with my clients who need some insights. Thanks !
@@MiksZY Upwork and fiverr are really tricky to figure out. You need to do a bit of experimenting there and build your portfolio. Secondly, apply to agencies near you. Keep on adding it to your portfolio and eventually, you will get consistent clients from both sides and you can ask any of them to hire you directly. It took me one full year just to create a consistent flow and it’s not a one time job actually, I have to be ON it all the time
Thank you for sharing this I have been testing out an editor and have been wondering about a lot of the questions you're talking about so happy to see this and as always great job on explaining this Gillian!!!
as an editor, I second that communication is key. If you leave the editor to their own means they are gonna give you back something that's good for them, but might not meet YOUR expectations... I try to be very realistic with what I can offer and deliver, but clients gotta meet me halfway! great video.
How do you get work.(traffic)? How much do you charge and what specifically do you charge for I terms of skill. If you don't mind answering. If it's personal I understand though 😅
@@cold485 i've had some success going into social media communities and organicaly commenting what i do. I quote for what i'm asked to do and i live abroad but i try to aim at $11 per hour, talking head videos i can edit in 4 work hours (up to half an hour in lenght) and if i can commit to 4 each month i usually package for $150. Greater lenght or volume or shorts i quote accordingly. But thats a ballpark for You. Hope it helps. Good luck
Very informative video! Totally agree that outsourcing your video editing and hiring an editor will not only save you time but also help you grow your channel a lot faster! Thanks for the valuable insights and tips!
Nice video, I was thinking of hiring someone as I'm getting to that stage, but honestly the hassle of back and forth with some of these guys is not worth the time in certian cases, better to do self quick edits - having said this greatly depends upon the type of channel and content being produced.
I understand that communication is really important. I've been needing a consistent editing job for a while now. Everyone tells me I'm great at it but most don't seem to have the budget to consistently give me work, so I'm usually just writing and editing my own stories and video essays, in the hopes that it'll go somewhere but I'm far more passionate about the behind-the-scenes of everything I watch so I think this would be ideal for me!
Hi Gillian, I thought you gave a lot of good and valuable information in this "How to hire a video editor for your YT channel' video. In particular the last few minutes of the video where you showed us how you document the communication with the editor was really helpful!
editing is the biggest challenge for me! But - because my channel doesn't provide income I can't justify the expense of an editor - yet! I am going to keep practicing and keep working towards getting better 😀
We are at that point where I need an editor to save time. Plan and film more. But highly doubt I can afford a high end editor. I know our channel is going to be big though!
I want to start a series of videos doing public questions with strangers. I would need a filmer and editor to do that. Would $15 a hour be fair for a filmer and then give them a additional $5 to edit the videos as well? The editing would be very basic work.
thank you for demystifying this subject - I am yet to find a VE and not so savvy or time rich to do it all myself - now I have some helpful guidelines the search may be less ambiguous.

I've been making content mostly on youtube but on other video platforms as well for 15 years, and even though I've never been brand-friendly enough to go viral, I'm so tired of going it alone. My mom died two years ago and I decided to spend part of the life insurance trying to find other freelancers to delegate some of the work to so I can concentrate on actually making new content--like a social media manager to make all the promo posts for me, and/or a web developer who can make my website not look so messy and set up an e-commerce site for, and a video editor who can just take the most rambly parts out of my vlogs and cut out excessive umms, that's really it. But I have not been able to figure out WHERE to find any of these people to hire, certainly no one with any experience working on videos. Every freelance hiring site I try, I get bombarded with barely-coherent copypasta posts from people in undeveloped countries with no proof of portfolio, and that's it. Where do you go to find legitimately professional freelancers to hire?!?

WOW!!! Gillian you're so right !!!!! I video edit for people who want to make more videos, upload more and get more views and these are definitely the steps you need! I use all 3 types of pricing with my clients. It's which ever they prefer and helps them get the best results. This video is a must watch till the end! Thanks Gillian
Great video, thank you Gillian! Good idea about your doc with 3 columns. My challenge at the moment also is that cad is so much lower than usd. But in the future hope to work with an editor.
Do you have any tips for video editors on how to reach out to youtubers if they need an editor? I'm an up and coming editor and want to reach out to youtubers, but I'm wondering if you have any input on that as you must get hit up all the time by editors.
Hi Jordan I don't know if you are still interested but I would like to hire an editor on my channel. I do mostly crafting stuff like chainmail dragons or cosplay or different art mediums, and I'd love to show off my card magic skills, but I'm going to Korea in a few months and would love someone to help me edit some vlogs too. Do you have a resume or a portfolio? My email is on my about page, just hit me up if you are interested :)
It depends. Normally, up until a couple of days ago, I hated editing. However, I love recording whenever I am playing a game. My last video was only a short video on Blitzball from Final Fantasy X. On top of the game being enjoyable, the editing actually inspired me to ENJOY editing, because it turned out so well (in my opinion). It took around 5 hours to edit the video to my liking (also thanks to the editing software's TH-cam giving some amazing tutorial videos that helped). Overall, I'd say recording is preferred, with editing slowly becoming more enjoyable. Awesome question! Thank you.
I like the editing because I suck at games even mine craft it takes hours to make a clip but I’m decent I like to customise things as a hobby and I’m creative
Everyone: Watching this video to see how they can hire a video editor for their channel. Me: Watching this video to find out how to be a video editor for TH-camrs :D hmmm
Great insight! Thank you very much… we applied the reach out to local connection and pushed indeed. We ended up having too many qualified candidates haha We hired 3 !! Thank you
Hey Gillian! I've been seeing your content and I gotta say, I'm impressed! I previously reached out to see if we can discuss an idea of a video that will go viral! Please let me know how to best contact you and I'll be happy to share it with you! Keep up the good work!
10:56 "More (pause), better" or was this just a missed edit? I know you spend a lot of time (or your editor does) on these edits, so I figured I'd call it out for you. Thank you for this video, regardless. I am a disabled veteran, so I have a lot of time on my hands, as well as a good amount of excess income to spend on editors/updating things visually or with sound. When I spend time editing (which I hate doing, usually), sometimes it takes a couple of hours per hour of footage. The last was a 15 minute video that took almost 5 hours due to editing just the audio, so hearing you mention the "pay per minute" method gives me a good idea to look into for the future.
I’ve been dying to hire an editor for my YT and insta/tik tok 😭 it’s been a struggle for over 6yrs and the editing is what overwhelms me because I can record/write/create but the video editing feels like it defeats me lol I once paid $100 someone to edit my YT and idk if it was worth it. Thank you for this! It’s hard describing what I want but I’m still hoping I’ll find someone to work with long term. Good luck peeps!
I can work with you .. i have a 4 years experience in the editing and if you want i will edit the first video for free for u to see the quality of editing so if you want to to start reply to this comment and we will find a better way to communicate better than youtube comments 🤝
It depends on whether they have enough capital to invest to produce high-quality videos regularly or a business already in place that can take advantage of video advertising on TH-cam.
@@HiMyNameIsKim if you are at the beginning, you will build your editing style (and learn) and people will recognize you. If you let others edit your video people will notice that the style is different, and everytime you change in the future you would have to think twice.
Just monetized my channel! I would love to get to the point of hiring an editor... not their yet but maybe in the future! Editing is my least favorite part!
I'm new to TH-cam (obviously not this account). I have published 70 vids so far w/minimal editing. Now I want to hire an editing agency and pay them per month to edit a bunch of videos the entire month and send them to me at the end of the month. I want to bulk record then send 22 videos to them in May.. Will they be able to edit that amount in one month? They don't have to complete it each day but I'd like all of the vids completed and sent to me by the end of June. Then I plan on uploading them slowly
Is $1 or even $1.1 per minute of raw footage still applicable? I think that is a good rate. I have all the content for 200+ videos in my head (I am a college professor), but don't want to spend all the time on editing myself. I would just like to keep generated tons of raw footage and just send it over to an editor for $1/minute of raw footage (even $1.20 is ok).
@@manuu.6788 Yes, I am still looking. I will only be ready with raw footage in February. i) What is your reason for wanting to do it for free? ii) How do I contact you?
My editing has slightly improved since I started editing a year ago but I really need an editor. This is really helpful. But I always feel like I need to grow first before anyone would want to work with me 😅
Everyone: watching this video to see how they can hire a video editor Me: watching this video to see how I can work as a video editor for other TH-camrs :,D
Love the video! I am a new video editor and I was wondering if you or anyone in the comments Would you recommend asking for more money if the video includes sponsored content or should this be the same cost as a regular video without?
hi gillian can i ask you an question my voice sound like 12 years old even that i'm turning 17 years old in 21 days soo how can i fix my childish voice?
You can use audacity to edit it. There are some great videos on here sharing what type of edits to do on your audio. A lot of guys especially do this with their audio.
I tried finding one... he was trying to charge more than the company I work for ($120 x hr) and we have trucks, tools, insurance, etc... The guy wanted $160 per hour, it's ridiculous.
Hi TOs! I don't know if you are still interested but I would like to hire an editor on my channel. I do mostly crafting stuff like chainmail dragons or cosplay or different art mediums, and I'd love to show off my card magic skills, but I'm going to Korea in a few months and would love someone to help me edit some vlogs too.

informative 20mins+ on hiring a editor/s and how much time they save you.
Do you have any tips for video editors on how to reach out to youtubers if they need an editor? I'm an up and coming editor and want to reach out to youtubers, but I'm wondering if you have any input on that as you must get hit up all the time by editors.
Hi Jordan I don't know if you are still interested but I would like to hire an editor on my channel. I do mostly crafting stuff like chainmail dragons or cosplay or different art mediums, and I'd love to show off my card magic skills, but I'm going to Korea in a few months and would love someone to help me edit some vlogs too. Do you have a resume or a portfolio? My email is on my about page, just hit me up if you are interested :)
@@TutorialQueen Hi, yes I'll email you today
Hey Jordan
Can I see your work anywhere?
Hello Jordan I’m looking for an editor so you have samples to share
@@smartfoodie2978Hello Sir/ma'am
I'm an Editor...we can make a deal 🤝
who else prefers editing instead of recording lol
It depends. Normally, up until a couple of days ago, I hated editing. However, I love recording whenever I am playing a game. My last video was only a short video on Blitzball from Final Fantasy X. On top of the game being enjoyable, the editing actually inspired me to ENJOY editing, because it turned out so well (in my opinion). It took around 5 hours to edit the video to my liking (also thanks to the editing software's TH-cam giving some amazing tutorial videos that helped). Overall, I'd say recording is preferred, with editing slowly becoming more enjoyable. Awesome question! Thank you.
HELL YEAH!! Filming is the bane of my existence! Editing is cool. :)
me
if the editor can do the voice and everything you would be really successful
I like the editing because I suck at games even mine craft it takes hours to make a clip but I’m decent I like to customise things as a hobby and I’m creative
This video was so helpful thanks a ton💕💕💕💕
Awesome!!
Nice to get information about video editor.....
Is there any special considerations you can think of for gaming youtubers?
good luck to everyone that wants to start a TH-cam channel and always remember"Patience is key"
this is really helpful for a person who struggles making videos. thanks for this
if your still looking for an editor, I can edit your videos for you just hmu on ig @shelbymaditt
Everyone: Watching this video to see how they can hire a video editor for their channel.
Me: Watching this video to find out how to be a video editor for TH-camrs :D
hmmm
hahahahahaha.... SAAAMMMEEE...... so true.... i dont have the time tho
@@realgman349 I do - I freelance after my full-time job ,)
Oh boy I have so many things I feel the need to tell/inform/correct you on… ya know what, I think I might just make a response video to you.
Great insight! Thank you very much… we applied the reach out to local connection and pushed indeed.
We ended up having too many qualified candidates haha
We hired 3 !!
Thank you
Hey Gillian! I've been seeing your content and I gotta say, I'm impressed! I previously reached out to see if we can discuss an idea of a video that will go viral! Please let me know how to best contact you and I'll be happy to share it with you! Keep up the good work!
10:56 "More (pause), better" or was this just a missed edit? I know you spend a lot of time (or your editor does) on these edits, so I figured I'd call it out for you. Thank you for this video, regardless. I am a disabled veteran, so I have a lot of time on my hands, as well as a good amount of excess income to spend on editors/updating things visually or with sound. When I spend time editing (which I hate doing, usually), sometimes it takes a couple of hours per hour of footage. The last was a 15 minute video that took almost 5 hours due to editing just the audio, so hearing you mention the "pay per minute" method gives me a good idea to look into for the future.
Nope, that was what I meant to say. :) More AND better!
looking for videoediting job
I’ve been dying to hire an editor for my YT and insta/tik tok 😭 it’s been a struggle for over 6yrs and the editing is what overwhelms me because I can record/write/create but the video editing feels like it defeats me lol I once paid $100 someone to edit my YT and idk if it was worth it. Thank you for this! It’s hard describing what I want but I’m still hoping I’ll find someone to work with long term. Good luck peeps!
I can work with you .. i have a 4 years experience in the editing and if you want i will edit the first video for free for u to see the quality of editing so if you want to to start reply to this comment and we will find a better way to communicate better than youtube comments 🤝
Honestly no one of your viewers should hire a video editor. It's useless if you are small. Not just useless, but dangerous.
Absolutely
It depends on whether they have enough capital to invest to produce high-quality videos regularly or a business already in place that can take advantage of video advertising on TH-cam.
@@letsdomath1750 you have a point
@@HiMyNameIsKim You might be spending what you can't afford when you have other financial obligations that take priority.
@@HiMyNameIsKim if you are at the beginning, you will build your editing style (and learn) and people will recognize you. If you let others edit your video people will notice that the style is different, and everytime you change in the future you would have to think twice.
where do you find editors tho
There are websites like Upwork and Freelancer, but don't go for the cheap ones
Just monetized my channel! I would love to get to the point of hiring an editor... not their yet but maybe in the future! Editing is my least favorite part!
Let me help!😊
If you need an editor do let me know or mail me!😊
@@Venommm_7 could you edit for me?
@@chewythedog Yeah sure! venommm_7 that's my insta handle we can discuss over there..
@@Venommm_7 okay thanks 😊
But where do you go to hire a video editior
If you're still looking for an editor, let me know. Contact info in my bio
@@dylanreh2010 yes I am, where can I find your bio
Hey are you still looking for an editor? :)
@@djay4029 check my About section on my channel for my contact info if you still a good editor
@@aethrql I am yeah
I'm new to TH-cam (obviously not this account). I have published 70 vids so far w/minimal editing. Now I want to hire an editing agency and pay them per month to edit a bunch of videos the entire month and send them to me at the end of the month. I want to bulk record then send 22 videos to them in May.. Will they be able to edit that amount in one month? They don't have to complete it each day but I'd like all of the vids completed and sent to me by the end of June. Then I plan on uploading them slowly
Sure 😃 ( do have discord to discuss further? )
How did we can start
Who can be my editor
Hello there... I'm an editor
Can we make a 🤝
If you are serious, I can be reached through Discord. I have 15 years of experience and flexible rates. My work can be seen on my channel.
How do you know how long they spent on the video? Couldn’t someone lie about how long it took them to make the video if your paying per hour?
There are time trackers that help to track hours.
do you need an editor?
@@sabelahmad2933 yes I do
Is $1 or even $1.1 per minute of raw footage still applicable? I think that is a good rate.
I have all the content for 200+ videos in my head (I am a college professor), but don't want to spend all the time on editing myself. I would just like to keep generated tons of raw footage and just send it over to an editor for $1/minute of raw footage (even $1.20 is ok).
Are you still looking for one? Ill do it for free
@@manuu.6788 Yes, I am still looking. I will only be ready with raw footage in February.
i) What is your reason for wanting to do it for free?
ii) How do I contact you?
I will still have the best price you can find for the quality I will produce.
@@tajaythomas2795 you still looking to edit vids?
No one:
Absolutely no one:

Small youtuber here 😙
One of a few TH-camrs that tell us the truth 💛
Jade Choi - Million Dollar Challenge right
Definitely
Thanks God I have my husband editing my videos 😍 and Thank you for sharing this ❤️❤️
My editing has slightly improved since I started editing a year ago but I really need an editor. This is really helpful. But I always feel like I need to grow first before anyone would want to work with me 😅
hey, if you're still looking I could probably help. I'm also looking to grow as an editor so I guess it could work
Hey, you still need an editor? I'll be up for it! I also need more experience! I mainly edit gaming videos!
Nice presentation!
Everyone: watching this video to see how they can hire a video editor
Me: watching this video to see how I can work as a video editor for other TH-camrs :,D
Love the video! I am a new video editor and I was wondering if you or anyone in the comments Would you recommend asking for more money if the video includes sponsored content or should this be the same cost as a regular video without?
For now I will edit my videos myself
hi gillian can i ask you an question
my voice sound like 12 years old even that i'm turning 17 years old in 21 days soo how can i fix my childish voice?
You can use audacity to edit it. There are some great videos on here sharing what type of edits to do on your audio. A lot of guys especially do this with their audio.
@@LifeDIY where can i get the link?
Nice and very helpful video. Love u from Bangladesh🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
I tried finding one... he was trying to charge more than the company I work for ($120 x hr) and we have trucks, tools, insurance, etc... The guy wanted $160 per hour, it's ridiculous.
Hi
