 Dalua Fishroom is a YouTube channel in the aquarium and aquascaping space. Our goal is to scale from 6.3K to 100K subscribers by the end of 2026, without sacrificing the quality, pacing, or personality that built the channel.


We’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented YouTube editor to handle the execution side of editing, allowing the creator to focus on storytelling, on-camera performance, and creative direction.

 

📩 HOW TO APPLY


Please include:

  • A short introduction about yourself
  • Links to YouTube videos you’ve edited
  • Your preferred editing software
  • Your per-video rate
  • Your weekly availability


Applications without examples will not be considered. 

This role is ideal for someone who understands retention, pacing, and YouTube-first editing — not just cutting clips.


🔧 YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Long-Form YouTube Editing


  • Edit 8–12 minute YouTube videos
  • Create clean, tight cuts (remove pauses, mistakes, filler)
  • Assemble A-roll and B-roll from the provided folders
  • Match pacing using the provided reference videos
  • Apply basic sound levelling (dialogue clarity first)
  • Maintain consistent energy and flow throughout the video
  • Add music that matches energy and never overpowers dialogue
  • Deliver a strong 80–90% finished cut

Short-Form Content (Optional / Bonus)


  • Cut 2–3 Shorts per long-form video
  • Vertical format (9:16)
  • Add dynamic, readable captions
  • Export correctly for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook

Workflow & Delivery


  • Maintain organised timelines and meet agreed deadlines
  • Use clean, consistent file naming
  • Handle feedback efficiently and professionally

❌ WHAT YOU WILL NOT BE DOING

  • No scripting
  • No thumbnails
  • No uploading
  • No creative direction decisions


This role focuses on high-quality execution, not creative decision-making or content direction.

✅ IDEAL CANDIDATE


You are:


  • Experienced with YouTube editing (not just social clips)
  • Comfortable editing talking-head content with B-roll
  • Fast without being sloppy
  • Receptive to feedback
  • Able to match the pacing from references
  • Reliable, organised, and communicative


You understand that retention matters more than flashy effects.

🛠 TOOLS REQUIRED

  • Premiere Pro and CapCut
  • Google Drive / Dropbox
  • Trello

💰 PAYMENT


  • $120–$180 AUD per long-form video     (based on experience and performance)
  • Shorts paid per clip (see structure below)
  • Consistent weekly work for the right editor
  • Teams meetings, if required
  • This is a long-term position, not a one-off gig

Editor Tiers


$120 Editor


  • Edits clips as directed
  • Focuses on execution
  • Requires revisions
  • Waits for feedback before adjusting
  • Saves time by handling the workload


$180 Editor

  • Understands creative intent
  • Edits for flow and retention
  • Proactively improves pacing
  • Requires minimal feedback
  • Anticipates issues before they’re flagged
  • Improves overall video outcomes (outperforms current posts)

📱 SHORT-FORM EDITING – PAYMENT STRUCTURE


Short-form editing is paid per clip, not hourly.


Standard Rate – $12 AUD per Short
Applies when the editor independently identifies strong clip moments, edits for retention and pacing, writes clean captions, applies emphasis correctly, and delivers platform-ready exports. Shorts at this level typically average 5–10K views. This is the default tier.


Performance Tier – $15–$20 AUD per Short
Applies when the editor consistently selects strong hooks, understands Shorts pacing, requires minimal revisions, and produces Shorts averaging 20K+ views. This tier unlocks after a minimum 3-week period of consistently achieving 20K+ views.


Weekly costs remain predictable and scalable, based on output and performance.
