A Documentary Editor is responsible for assembling raw footage, shaping the narrative, and refining the visual and audio elements of a documentary film. They work closely with directors and producers to ensure the story is compelling, cohesive, and aligns with the project's vision. This role involves selecting the best takes, cutting scenes for pacing, adding effects, and integrating music or sound design. Documentary editors must have strong storytelling skills, technical proficiency with editing software, and the ability to craft engaging narratives from real-life footage.
To thrive as a Documentary Editor, you need expertise in video editing, storytelling, and narrative structure, typically supported by a background in film, media, or communications. Proficiency in editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Media Composer is essential, and certification in these programs is often preferred. Strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively with directors and producers are critical soft skills in this role. These qualities ensure the ability to craft compelling stories that align with the documentary's vision and engage viewers.
Documentary Editors often encounter challenges such as working with large volumes of raw footage, managing tight deadlines, and balancing creative input from multiple collaborators. You may need to shape a compelling narrative from unscripted content, which requires both technical skill and creative problem-solving. Additionally, editors must adapt to changes in story direction as new material emerges or feedback is provided by the production team. Successfully navigating these challenges is key to delivering a polished final product that tells an engaging and coherent story.

About the Role
I’m a Cleveland real estate broker building out our YouTube channel and social media presence, and I’m looking for a videographer to be my shadow. You’ll follow me through my day showings, listing appointments, walkthroughs, team meetings, events, and life outside the office and capture it all.
This isn’t a corporate video job. It’s documentary-style, fast-moving, and personality-driven. If you like being in the middle of the action instead of behind a tripod in a studio, this is your seat.
What You’ll Do
• Follow and film me during scheduled shoot days (properties, meetings, events, on-the-go content)
• Capture B-roll, interviews, walk-and-talks, and candid moments
• Shoot both horizontal (YouTube) and vertical (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) formats
• Edit footage into polished long-form videos and short-form clips
• Use AI-assisted editing tools to speed up turnaround (we’ll invest in whatever software makes you faster)
• Manage footage organization, backups, and file delivery
• Help brainstorm content ideas and hooks — I want a creative partner, not just an operator
What We Provide
• All equipment: cameras, lenses, audio, gimbals, lighting, drone [adjust to what you actually own]
• All editing software and AI tools
• Transportation to shoots
You show up with your skills. We handle the rest.
What We’re Looking For
• Resourceful, or Experience shooting and editing video (real estate, personal brand, or documentary work is a plus)
• Strong eye for framing, movement, and pacing
• Proficient in an editing suite (Veed, Riverside, Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut, CapCut — whatever you’re fastest in)
• Understands what performs on YouTube vs. Instagram vs. TikTok
• Reliable, punctual, and comfortable adapting when the schedule shifts
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation to shoot locations
• Based in or near [Cleveland/your market area]
Schedule & Compensation
• Open to part-time ( min of 25 hours/week) with a clear path to full-time
• [$26-$40per hour] based on your talent.
• Flexible scheduling — some early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends
How to Apply
Send your resume plus a link to your reel or 2–3 examples of your work. In your message, tell me one YouTube channel or creator whose video style you admire and why.
Bonus: send a 30–60 second vertical video you shot and edited yourself.
