## About Kensal Studios

Kensal Studios is a sports IP studio that turns influence into ownership. We work directly with professional athletes and sports organizations to build owned shows, media brands, and IP.&#x20;

## The Role

We're looking for a freelance contract video editor to join us on a monthly retainer as the editing engine behind our clients' media properties. You'll own post-production across a slate of athlete-led shows: cutting long-form YouTube episodes and turning them into a steady pipeline of short-form clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

This is a recurring, ongoing relationship rather than a one-off project. You'll get to know each show's voice, build repeatable systems, and get faster and sharper with every episode.

## What You'll Do

* Edit long-form YouTube episodes (typically 15-25 minutes) from multicam recordings; expect around 3-4 hours of footage across 2 cameras per episode
* Sync, select, and structure conversations into tight, watchable episodes with strong pacing and clean audio
* Cut 5-10 short-form clips per episode, reframed for vertical (9:16) with captions, hooks, and platform-native pacing
* Apply each show's brand system: titles, lower thirds, transitions, end cards, and thumbnail-ready frames
* Colour-match cameras and mix audio to a consistent, professional standard
* Manage project files, versioning, and delivery through a shared workflow (Frame.io or similar)
* Turn around episodes on a reliable weekly or fortnightly cadence, with revisions handled promptly

## What We're Looking For

* 3+ years editing experience, with a portfolio that includes long-form YouTube or podcast-style content **and** short-form social clips
* Fluent in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, and comfortable with multicam workflows
* Strong instincts for pacing, story, and retention: you know where a conversation drags and how to fix it
* Motion graphics ability (After Effects or equivalent) for titles, captions, and simple animated elements
* Self-managing and deadline-reliable, since you'll be trusted to run your own pipeline
* An interest in sport, culture, and the creator economy is a big plus

## Nice to Have

* Experience editing for athlete, sports, or creator-led channels
* Thumbnail design or basic graphic design skills
* Familiarity with YouTube analytics and what drives retention and click-through

## Engagement & Compensation

* Monthly retainer covering an agreed number of long-form episodes plus short-form clips (volume to be scoped together, likely 2-4 episodes per month to start, with room to grow)
