YouTube Video Editor Needed — GTA 6 Documentaries, Cinematic Motion Graphics & AI Editing (Budget-Friendly / Long-Term)

Project Type: Long-term opportunity, starting with one paid project

Experience Level: Intermediate to Expert

Budget: Flexible, but looking for affordable and competitive rates

About the Project

I'm transitioning my established YouTube channel, Gainstop (560K+ subscribers), into GTA 6 gaming content.

I'm looking for a creative, skilled video editor who can help produce high-quality GTA 6 documentaries featuring cinematic storytelling, professional motion graphics, and engaging visual effects.

My goal is to build a recognizable editing style that feels premium while keeping production costs affordable and sustainable for regular uploads.

I'm especially interested in working with someone who understands how modern AI tools can streamline the editing process without sacrificing quality.

Editing Reference — PLEASE REVIEW

YouTube Channel: Glooby

I really like Glooby's editing style, particularly the motion graphics, animated text, floating visual elements, cinematic transitions, and overall storytelling.

Please review a few of their videos to understand the production quality I'm aiming for.

I'm not looking for an exact copy. I want to develop an original visual identity for Gainstop with a comparable level of polish and creativity.

Our First Project

Our first documentary will explore Jason and Lucia's relationship in GTA 6, including their character backgrounds, relationship mechanics, and how their relationship may affect the story.

Estimated length: 12–16 minutes.

I'll provide the script, voiceover, creative direction, and references.

Your role will be transforming those materials into an engaging, visually polished YouTube documentary.

Editing Style & Expectations

I'm looking for:

- Cinematic GTA 6 footage and screenshots that complement the narration.

- Professional motion graphics and animated visual explanations.

- Animated text messages, floating information cards, and character profiles.

- Smooth transitions, camera movements, and kinetic typography.

- Strong YouTube storytelling and audience-retention pacing.

- Professional sound design and appropriately licensed background music.

- Occasional real-world Florida footage when relevant.

- A clean, modern visual style without unnecessary effects.

AI-Assisted Editing Is Encouraged!

One of my biggest priorities is making high-quality production affordable and sustainable.

I understand that traditional motion graphics and documentary editing can be time-consuming and expensive. However, with newer AI tools becoming more capable, I'm interested in finding an editor who knows how to use them effectively to speed up production.

Tools such as Higgsfield, Katana, Claude, Runway, or other AI-powered editing solutions are absolutely welcome and encouraged.

If you're experienced with using AI to create animations, transitions, motion graphics, or streamline repetitive editing tasks, that's a major plus!

I'm not expecting anyone to work for an unfair rate. I value creativity, experience, and professional-quality work.

However, if AI significantly reduces the time required to produce a video, I'm hoping those efficiencies can also be reflected in a more affordable project rate.

The goal is to find a workflow where:

- The videos still look cinematic and professionally edited.

- AI helps reduce repetitive manual work and production time.

- Pricing remains reasonable enough for consistent uploads.

- Both the editor and the channel benefit from a long-term partnership.

I'm more interested in working with someone who can produce excellent results efficiently than someone who insists on using expensive traditional methods for every effect.

Quality matters, but affordability and efficiency are equally important for this project.

Preferred Skills

- Adobe After Effects

- Adobe Premiere Pro

- DaVinci Resolve

- Higgsfield AI / Katana

- Claude AI

- AI-assisted video editing

- Motion graphics and compositing

- YouTube documentary editing

- Gaming content

You don't need experience with every tool listed. If you can deliver the desired results through a different workflow, I'm open to it.

Potential Long-Term Opportunities

If our first project goes well, I'd love to continue working together on:

- GTA 6 documentaries and breakdowns

- Gaming experiments and challenges

- Top 10 funniest GTA moments

- Most painful GTA moments compilations

- Cinematic gameplay edits

- YouTube Shorts

I'd also love to build reusable editing templates and motion-graphics assets to make future videos faster and more affordable.

Deliverables

- One fully edited 12–16-minute documentary.

- Cinematic motion graphics and animated visuals.

- Appropriate sound design and background music.

- Final video in 1080p minimum, preferably 4K.

- Reasonable revisions.

- Editable project files and reusable assets where possible.

How to Apply

Please include:

1. Links to 2–3 examples of your best documentary or gaming edits.

2. Whether you've watched Glooby's content and can achieve a comparable production style.

3. Which editing software and AI tools you use.

4. How you would use AI to make this project more efficient and affordable.

5. Your estimated price for a 12–16-minute documentary, including any AI tool costs.

6. Your typical turnaround time.

7. Whether you're interested in ongoing projects.

Please start your proposal with "FLAWDA" so I know you've read the full description.

I'm looking for someone creative, reliable, budget-conscious, and excited about building something long-term.

I believe great YouTube content doesn't always require an enormous production budget, especially when the right tools and creativity come together.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
