Vlog Editing, Thumbnails & Scripts

I run a small YouTube channel built around personal vlogs and I want each upload to feel more like a calm, mini-documentary than a jump-cut-heavy montage. To make that happen, I’d like help in three areas—video editing, thumbnail creation, and light script polishing. For the edits, you’ll shape raw 1080p footage (usually 10-15 minutes) into a tight 5-10 minute story: gentle pacing, smooth transitions, tasteful color correction, subtle background music, and lower-third captions where they add value. Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro are both fine; I care more about results than the tool. Thumbnails should stop a scroller instantly. Close-up images are a must, and you can pair them with simple, readable text or graphic accents if it strengthens the visual hook. I record talking-points on camera, but I often need those thoughts refined into a concise description or on-screen text. A straightforward Google Doc with the polished script is perfect. Deliverables per video • Final edited video in 1080p MP4 • One YouTube thumbnail (1280 × 720, <2 MB) featuring a strong close-up image • Polished script or description copy in DOC or PDF If this blend of calm storytelling and visual clarity sounds like your style, let’s talk about the first batch of vlogs and find a rhythm that works for both of us.
