Video Editor / After Effects VFX Artist – YouTube

Black Vault Media · New York, NY, USA · Remote ·

Job type:
Full Time

We're looking for a skilled Video Editor / After Effects VFX Artist to help us create high-quality, fast-paced YouTube content.

This is not a traditional raw-footage editing role . Our team handles the main story, hook, pacing, and pre-cut edit. Your main job will be to elevate the edit with high-quality VFX, motion graphics, effects, and visual polish.

The Style We're Going For
We're aiming for a style similar to:

MrBeast

Ben Azelart

Stokes Twins

Other high-energy, retention-focused YouTube creators

The goal is for the final video to feel polished, exciting, and professional --- not basic or overly simple.

What You'll Be Doing
You'll work from a pre-cut video and add:

After Effects / VFX

Motion graphics

Speed ramps

Slow-mo → normal speed → slow-mo effects

Object highlights and glows

Colored glows on objects/doors/etc.

Shiny object effects

Dynamic zooms and punch-ins

Transitions

On-screen graphics and animations

Visual effects that enhance jokes, reactions, and important moments

Other creative effects that improve viewer retention

We want someone who knows when and where to use effects , not someone who simply adds effects everywhere.

What We're Looking For

Strong After Effects skills

Strong VFX and motion graphics experience

Experience editing YouTube content

Good understanding of pacing and viewer retention

Strong visual storytelling

Ability to follow an existing edit without changing the story

Ability to take feedback and work from editing notes

High attention to detail

Clean, polished work

DaVinci Resolve experience is a plus, as we're looking to work within a collaborative editing workflow.

Bonus

You can create YouTube thumbnails

Experience with MrBeast, Ben Azelart, Stokes Twins, or similar content

Experience working with creators or YouTube channels

What You'll Receive
Our team will provide the pre-cut/edit-ready video and direction . You'll focus on taking that edit to the next level through VFX, motion graphics, and visual polish.

We already have projects ready, so there is an opportunity for ongoing work if it's a good fit.
