Video Editor Wanted – Paranormal YouTube Hook & Thumbnail Design Channel: Date Night with the Ghost Gang We’re looking for a confident, creative and experienced video editor to create an engaging hook for one of our paranormal investigation videos. Before quoting, please visit our YouTube channel, Date Night with the Ghost Gang, to understand our content, branding and editing style. What we need: We will supply the specific video clips and moments we’d like included. You won’t need to review hours of raw footage or find the content yourself. Your role will be to: • Edit our supplied clips into an attention-grabbing hook. • Target length: approximately 20–45 seconds. • Create a cinematic, suspenseful atmosphere suited to paranormal content. • Incorporate suitable transitions, sound effects, audio enhancements and captions where appropriate. • Build curiosity and encourage viewers to watch the full video. • Deliver a polished edit suitable for YouTube Shorts (vertical 9:16). YouTube Thumbnails: We may also need assistance creating eye-catching, YouTube-compatible thumbnails that complement our existing channel branding. Please advise if you offer this service and provide separate pricing. What we’re looking for: • Proven video editing experience. • Confidence in short-form content creation. • Understanding of YouTube and audience engagement. • A creative eye for suspense and atmosphere. • Good communication and ability to follow creative direction. • Examples of previous work or a portfolio. Quoting: Please include your price for one initial hook, any additional thumbnail design costs and estimated turnaround time. We’re starting with one project, but there’s potential for further work and an ongoing relationship with the right editor. We’re looking for someone reliable, capable and creative who can bring our footage to life!

Yep Monique, I'm confident I can hit that standard. Having the Geelong Gaol one as the benchmark helps a lot. I'll match its pacing and the way it builds tension and holds back the payoff, then cut your clips to that same feel in vertical. I'll take the look from your logo too, the cracked white lettering and the red script, so the captions and thumbnail sit with your branding. If anything feels off on the first cut I'll keep tweaking it till it's right
And what was your quote please?
It's $120 for the whole job, Monique. That's your clips cut into a hook of around 30 seconds in vertical, with the audio cleaned up, sound design, transitions and captions, plus a thumbnail to match in your channel's look. Tweaks on the first cut are included until it's right. Turnaround is a couple of days once I have your clips and the moments you want in
Ghost hunting content lives or dies on the first few seconds, so I'd open on your creepiest moment and build from there with slow pushes, a low rumble, hard cuts on the bangs and bold captions so it still works on mute. I'll cut your clips to around 30 seconds in vertical, clean up the audio so the whispers and knocks come through properly, and finish on a cliffhanger that sends people to the full video. Yep, I do thumbnails too, matched to your current look. Do you stick to a set font and colours, or should I match them off the channel?
