I create talking head short form videos and need an assistant editor to organize the footage by removing all the speaking errors/quiet space and separating out the successfully completed sentences based on the transcript provided. Each video is around 20-30 minutes of raw footage. Group all takes of the same sentence together on the timeline with some space between each group. Example: Sentence 1: Take 1 → Take 2 → Take 3 Sentence 2: Take 1 → Take 2 Sentence 3: Take 1 → Take 2 → Take 3 → Take 4 Leave about 0.5–1 second before and after each take. Video/project file should be transferred over google drive. This will be an ongoing job. I often record in batches but average around 2-3 videos a week. I need someone readily available with fast turnaround time. 12-24 hours ideally for each video.

Hello, I can handle this as your ongoing assistant editor for the talking head videos. I’ll go through each 20-30 minute raw file, use the transcript to cut out all speaking errors and quiet space, and organize the timeline by sentence with all takes grouped together and 0.5-1 second handles before and after each one. Everything will be laid out clean in Premiere Pro and transferred to you via Google Drive so you can jump straight into selecting the best take. Turnaround is 12-24 hours per video and I’m available for 2-3 videos a week consistently. I’ve done this exact workflow for creators and can start on your first batch this week. Do you want me to also label each sentence group in the timeline, or just keep the spacing so you can scrub quickly?

Hi, Your workflow is very clear, and I'd be happy to help as an assistant editor on an ongoing basis. I understand that this isn't about creating the final edit—it's about preparing clean, organized timelines that save you time. For each 20–30 minute recording, I'll remove speaking mistakes, long pauses, and unusable takes while organizing every successful take according to your transcript. Each sentence will be grouped together with 0.5–1 second of padding before and after every take, making it easy for you to choose the best performance during the final edit. I work in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, keep project files well organized, and can deliver completed timelines via Google Drive within your preferred 12–24 hour turnaround. I'm available for ongoing work and can comfortably handle your weekly volume of 2–3 videos. I'd be happy to share examples of similar talking-head editing workflows from my portfolio. Best regards, Ajay

The actual skill here is not editing in the creative sense, it is disciplined pattern matching against the transcript, correctly identifying which take of a sentence is the clean, complete one versus a false start or filler, then grouping consistently so nothing gets misplaced across a 20 to 30 minute raw file. My approach would work directly from the provided transcript as the source of truth, mapping each sentence to its takes in the raw footage first, then assembling the timeline in the exact grouped structure you described, all takes of sentence 1 together, gap, all takes of sentence 2, and so on, with 0.5 to 1 second breathing room before and after each take as specified. Quiet space and clear speaking errors removed within that process, not as a separate pass that risks breaking the grouping. Given this is meant to be ongoing with 2 to 3 videos a week, I would treat consistency as the priority, same structure and spacing every time, so you always know exactly what to expect regardless of which video it is. Comfortable with Google Drive transfer and can commit to the 12 to 24 hour turnaround per video. Happy to start with one video first so you can confirm the grouping and spacing match exactly what you need before this becomes a regular weekly flow.

Organising long-form talking-head footage into a clean, editor-ready timeline is exactly the kind of work where attention to detail matters, and that's something I genuinely enjoy. I understand you're not looking for a creative edit at this stage—you need someone who can carefully go through 20–30 minutes of footage, remove mistakes, awkward pauses, and speaking errors, then organise every successful take by sentence using the provided transcript. I'll leave consistent handles (0.5–1 second) around each take and structure the timeline so the final edit becomes much faster and smoother. I work in Adobe Premiere Pro and keep project files well-organised for easy transfer through Google Drive. Fast turnaround is important to me, and I can comfortably deliver within your preferred 12–24 hour window while maintaining accuracy. Since this is an ongoing workflow, my focus is on being consistent, reliable, and making your editing process easier with every project. If you'd like, I'm happy to organise one short section as a sample so you can see exactly how I structure the timeline before we move forward.
