Podcast Audio & Video Editor (Educational Podca...

I run an educational podcast channel and I am looking for a reliable, experienced podcast editor to work on a long-term weekly basis.

Each episode is 40–60 minutes of raw audio.

There are 4 episodes per week (sometimes 5).

This is a purely educational project (not commercial/business-driven), and the budget is fixed at $20 per episode.

That equals:

• $80 per week (4 episodes)

• $100 per week (5 episodes)

Please apply only if you can work within this budget. I will not be able to increase it.

Scope of Work (Per Episode)

You will receive raw audio files and selected music tracks (intro/outro/interval music).

Your responsibilities:

1. Audio Editing

• Clean editing (remove mistakes, pauses, filler words where appropriate)

• Smooth transitions

• Maintain natural conversational flow

2. Audio Enhancement

• Noise reduction

• De-essing

• EQ balancing

• Compression

• Mastering to professional podcast loudness standards (e.g., -16 LUFS stereo)

3. Music Integration

• Add intro music (already selected)

• Add outro music

• Insert short 2–3 second interval music every few minutes

• Add very light background music throughout (subtle, not distracting)

4. Waveform Graphics Creation

• Export final audio to Adobe After Effects

• Generate waveform animation graphics

• Export graphics to Premiere Pro

• Sync visuals with full episode duration

• Deliver final video file with audio + waveform graphics

Final Deliverables Per Episode:

• Final mastered audio file (MP3/WAV)

• Final video file (MP4) with waveform graphics

• Project files (if required)

⸻

Important Notes

• I can share 1–2 previous podcast episodes so you can clearly understand the style and quality I expect.

• Consistency is very important.

• Turnaround time should be reliable.

• Long-term collaboration preferred.

⸻

Requirements

Please apply only if you:

• Have previous podcast editing experience

• Can deliver studio-quality sound

• Have strong knowledge of:

• Adobe Audition / Audacity / similar DAWs

• Adobe After Effects

• Adobe Premiere Pro

• Can work within the fixed $20 per episode budget

• Provide sample work (audio + video preferred)

Applications without sample work will not be considered.

If this budget and workflow suit you and you have strong experience, I am happy to start with a trial episode and build a long-term working relationship.

Thank you.
