Ongoing Final Cut Pro editor for YouTube food & travel channel

We run a YouTube food & travel channel (~60K subscribers, averaging 80K–200K views per video) and need a reliable long-form editor for ongoing, per-video work — roughly 4 videos per month to start, growing over time.

Final Cut Pro is required. Our host does the final edit herself in Final Cut Pro, so you must work in FCP and hand off a clean, organized FCP project - not Premiere or DaVinci.

The videos are 15-20 minute city food tours: the host visits restaurants, tries dishes, and interviews owners and customers. Editing involves cutting long raw footage down, syncing audio, pacing for retention, adding text/captions, b-roll, light graphics and music.

What matters most: strong pacing and storytelling instinct (keeping viewers watching), clean audio, and the ability to learn and match our existing style. Fast, clear English communication and reliable turnaround are essential.

This starts with ONE paid trial video on our actual footage. If it’s a good fit, it becomes steady, ongoing per-video work with increasing volume.

Please include:

1. Portfolio / examples of long-form YouTube videos you’ve edited (links)
2. Confirmation you work in Final Cut Pro
3. Your rate per finished video (15–20 min)
4. Your typical turnaround time per video

Budget range:
Very small project ($250 – 750 USD)

Examples:
Here are examples of our existing videos. This is the style and quality to match:
