Position: Lead Video Editor & Visual Director (Long Form Documentary)

Salary: $1,000 – $3,000+ per month (Based performance bonuses and profit sharing)

Next Gen Lab is looking for a Lead Editor/Visual Director to join the team behind Pulse Docs—an exciting new animation channel on American YouTube.

About the Project: Pulse Docs creates exciting mini-documentaries and docu-dramas focused on crime, guns, prison escapes, and geopolitical facts. Our goal is to build one of the premier animated channels of 2026.

Key Goals:

• 3-4 Videos Produced Per Month
• 1 Million Views Per Month
• 200,000 Subscribers

Here is an example of our work: https://f.io/r3vLJSDA

What You'll Do:

You will own the visual pipeline. You aren't just cutting clips; you are the visual director deciding how the script comes to life. You will work directly with our 3D animators to assemble the final cut.

• Visual Storyboarding & Direction: Before animation begins, you will work directly with me and our writers to break down the script and design the scenes using static images/style frames. You will dictate the camera angles and visual flow for the animators.
• Asset Allocation: You will help make the creative decision on what the viewer sees. You decide when to use a 3D animated scene, when to utilize kinetic motion graphics (maps, documents), and when to use grit-style archival footage.
• End-to-End Editing: Assemble the final 20-30 minute cuts. This includes pacing, transitions, and ensuring the narrative flows logically.
• 2D Motion Graphics Integration: You need to be self-sufficient in After Effects for supporting visuals. You will handle "Newspaper Highlight" effects, map animations, and dynamic text overlays without needing to ask the 3D team for help.
• Technical Workflow & Asset Management: You will handle massive project files for 20-30 minute documentaries. You must maintain impeccable bin structures and utilize proxy workflows to ensure the project never crashes and assets are never lost.
• Cinematic Polish: Apply color grading, film grain, and guide our animators in lighting effects, and "camera shake" to give the 3D models a grounded, cinematic documentary feel.
• Sound Design & Scoring: you will work with our sound designer to finalize the video to create emotion.
• Quality Control & Project Management: Oversee the animators' output, handle revisions, and ensure the final export meets our high quality standards.

What We’re Looking For:

• Expert Proficiency: Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
• Visual Storytelling Experience: A showreel demonstrating documentary-style editing, strong pacing, and creative B-roll usage.
• Director’s Eye: Ability to visualize a script and communicate that vision to animators via rough static storyboards or shot lists.
• Bonus Skill: Blender Knowledge. (Ability to open project files, tweak camera movements, or adjust lighting is a massive plus but not a requirement).
• Attention to Detail: You are the last line of defense for visual errors or continuity issues.
• Familiarity with the Genre: Understanding the editing styles of channels like Fern, Lemmino, Thinker or Cipher.
• Big bonus if you have worked on any of those channels or similar ones.

What We Offer:

👍 Remote work with a flexible schedule. 

👍 Bonuses for viral videos, hitting key production metrics, and creative initiative. 

👍 Growth opportunities to become a Channel Director with a multi-million audience. 

👍 Profit sharing opportunities for to earn part of the profits we generate

About the Project

Pulse Docs creates immersive mini-documentaries and docudramas focused on crime, guns, prison escapes, and geopolitical stories. We use realistic, faceless 3D character models to tell gripping stories.

Our goal is to build one of the premier animated channels in 2026.

Key Goals:

• 3-4 Videos Produced Per Month (20–30 mins each)
• 1 Million Views Per Month
• 200,000 Subscribers

Here is an example of our work: https://f.io/53JywDGT

What You'll Do

You will be responsible for the full audio post-production process, turning raw animation and voiceover into a broadcast-quality sonic experience.

• Design Immersive Soundscapes: Build detailed 3D environments using ambiance, room tone, and environmental effects that place the viewer directly into the scene (e.g., a cold prison cell, a busy 2018 boardroom, a chaotic crime scene).
• Cinematic Foley & SFX: Layer realistic sound effects to sell the weight and physics of our 3D animations—footsteps, clothing rustle, gun handling, and vehicle engines.
• Score Selection & Editing: Select and edit stock music to drive the narrative arc, understanding exactly when to drop the music for impact and when to swell the score for emotional release.
• Dialogue Mixing & Mastering: Process voiceovers for crisp, radio-quality clarity, ensuring perfect balance against music and SFX.
• Pacing & Tension: Use silence, stingers, and risers to build "WTF" moments and retain viewer attention through 20+ minute runtimes.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Audio Reel: Examples of narrative sound design (documentary, short film, game audio, or high-end YouTube content) demonstrating range and subtlety.
• Technical Proficiency: Expert knowledge of DAWs (Pro Tools, Reaper, Logic, etc.) and audio repair tools (iZotope RX, etc.).
• Storytelling Instincts: You understand that sound is 50% of the movie. You know how to use audio dynamics to manipulate audience emotion and improve retention.
• Attention to Detail: Ability to sync audio perfectly to 3D character movements and cinematic cuts.
• YouTube Knowledge: Understanding of loudness standards (LUFS) for YouTube and how to mix for mobile/laptop speakers while retaining fidelity.
• Bonus: Experience with thriller/crime genres or 3D animation pipelines.

What We Offer

• Remote Work: Flexible schedule.
• Performance Bonuses: Bonuses for viral videos, hitting key production metrics, and creative initiative.
• Growth Opportunities: Path to become a Lead Audio Engineer or Post-Production Supervisor as we scale to a multi-million audience.
• Profit Sharing: Opportunities for team leads.
