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.
