Video Editor / Colorist To Train Me 1:1 (DaVinci / Premiere) While We Make Real Content
Project overview
I’m a business owner who wants to learn how to shoot and edit my own content (YouTube / Reels / Shorts). I don’t want to outsource editing forever. I want a skilled editor–teacher to work with me for 6–8 weeks so I can become self-sufficient.
Success = at the end of this project I can plan, shoot, edit, color grade, and export my own videos without you.
Scope of work
Over 6–8 weeks, I want to:
Choose and set up a simple gear stack (iPhone or basic camera, mic, lights).
Learn a repeatable workflow in [DaVinci Resolve / Premiere – pick your tool].
Learn basic editing: cuts, pacing, music, B‑roll, titles.
Learn practical color correction & grading for YouTube / social.
Learn export settings and thumbnails.
Build 3–5 simple templates / presets and 3–5 SOPs I can follow.
How we’ll work
2 calls per week (60–90 minutes) on Zoom.
You screen share and walk me through:
Setting up projects
Editing my footage live
Doing color I can't provide cloning or replication instructions.
Between calls, you give me small assignments; we review and correct them on the next call.
We’ll produce at least 8–12 finished short videos from this process.
Deliverables
By the end, I want:
8–12 finished edited & graded videos (30–180 seconds).
1 saved project file I can duplicate as a template.
2–3 custom LUTs or color presets for my setup.
3–5 written checklists / SOPs (shooting, editing, color, exporting).
Requirements
3+ years editing for YouTube / social (portfolio required).
Strong color grading skills (before/after examples).
Fluent in teaching beginners; clear English on calls.
Comfortable explaining why you do things, not just clicking buttons.
Budget & timing
6–8 week project, starting ASAP.
Expecting to pay a mid-level editor / teacher range depending on experience and results. Open to fixed project pricing for the full curriculum.
To apply, answer these questions:
Show 2–3 links to videos you’ve edited and graded that are similar to what I want. What exactly did you do on each?
Have you ever taught a beginner to edit / color before? How did you structure it?
If you had 6 weeks to get me publishing 2–3 videos per week on my own, what would your rough week-by-week plan look like?
