When looking for an editor, before writing an announcement, calculate the amount of work per broadcast in numbers.

The reason for the blockage in hiring editors is not the site where the announcement is posted, but the fact that I have not calculated how many hours of work each episode of my broadcast will take. If you break down a 4-hour replay into editing point search, cut editing, subtitles, and short-form resizing and write down the time and amount, the unit price, output, and source delivery method follow. If a number is written, the applicant also calculates his or her workload and provides an estimate.

Before writing an announcement, have you calculated how many hours each episode of my broadcast will be?

The place where hiring an editor usually stops is not at the channel selection, but at the one space before it. If you don't know the amount of work per batch, you can't use the unit price or output. So, the day goes by with only the notice creation window open. The starting point for hiring an editor is not a list of sites, but time breakdown.

The point where hiring an editor fails is not the channel selection, but the announcement that fails to put the amount of work for one broadcast in numbers.

This is what happens when you split a 4-hour replay of Chzzk or SOOP into 1 YouTube long form and 3 short forms, step by step. The amount column is the value converted to an hourly wage of 10,320 won according to the Ministry of Employment and Labor's 2026 Minimum Wage Notice ](https://www.moel.go.kr/news/enews/report/enewsView.do?news_seq=18144). It's not a market price, it's a baseline to see how much time I'm spending on this.

If broadcast four times a week, this 11 hours will be quadrupled, and in a month, editing time will be longer than broadcast time.

176 hours is 4 broadcasts per week multiplied by 4 weeks. Depending on the calendar, there may be 16, 17, or 18 broadcasts per month, so there is variation from month to month. The minimum wage at the bottom is converted to 40 hours per week and 209 hours per month.

Tip: Fill in the ‘Direct or delegate’ field in this table first. Once you have collected the steps to be delegated, they become the deliverable items in the announcement, and the total time becomes the lower limit for unit price negotiations.

Where should I post the job posting for editors so that applicants actually come?

Each channel has different people. Even if the same advertisement is posted on Kmong and Open KakaoTalk, the applicant's tendency and the amount requested are different. When choosing an editor recruitment site, you should consider whether there are people who know the context of my broadcast rather than the number of applicants.

In Chzzk and SOOP broadcasts, the section with the most chat and the time when the sponsorship is concentrated is one of the important signals used when determining the editing point. There are more people who know this context in the community than in the market. So, rather than opening just one market, I recommend posting the same announcement in both the market and the community to compare applicants side by side. In the market, we look at contract safety measures, and in the community, we look at a sense of the game.

Tip: When posting the same announcement to more than one place, set the same deadline. Only by gathering applicants at once and comparing them can you get a sense of unit cost.

If these 9 items are missing from the announcement, the applicant will not be able to provide a quote.

Most announcements that do not attract support are not ignored because they are insincere. It's impossible to calculate, so it's overlooked. Without the original length, number of episodes per week, output type, and source delivery method, editors cannot estimate their work time. Whether you post it on a site seeking editors or in a community, the nine items below must be included.

• Platform and Genre: Bad example "Game Broadcast Editing". A good example is “Cizizik horror game broadcast, for upload to YouTube”.
• Original Episode 1 Length: Bad example "It's a bit long". A good example: “One replay lasts 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours.”
• Number of episodes per week: Bad example “Please be consistent”. A good example is “2 flights a week long form, 6 flights a week short form”.
• Output Type: Bad example "It's an edited version". A good example is "1 16:9 long form, 3 9:16 short form, SRT subtitle files included".
• Subtitle Style: Bad example "Know it and make it pretty". Good example "Same font, location, and color as the 3 existing channel videos. Example link attached."
• Source delivery method and capacity: Bad example “I will give you the original”. A good example is “delivering the original MP4 to Google Drive, indicating the capacity per session, and enclosing the time code of the candidate section.”
• Delivery time and number of revisions: bad example "quickly". A good example is “First draft within 3 days after source delivery, 2 revisions for free.”
• unit price and settlement date: bad example "negotiation". A good example is “Specify the amount of one long form and one short form in numbers, due at the end of each month.”
• Long-term contract: Bad example “If it’s a good fit, keep it.” Good example “Convert to monthly contract after first month test, hope for 3 months or more”.

If we organize it in a format that can be copied and filled in as is, it looks like this.

[Recruitment of Chzzk Broadcast Editors] 2 long-form weeks + 6 short-form weeks
Original: Chizijic Replay 1 time 3 hours 30 minutes ~ 4 hours (mp4, delivered to Google Drive)
Output: 1 16:9 long form (12-15 minutes) / 3 9:16 short forms (approximately 60 seconds) / SRT subtitle file
Subtitles: Same style as existing channel video (reference link attached)
Delivery: 1st draft within 3 days after source delivery, 2 free revisions
Unit price: 1 long form OO won / 1 short form OO won, ends on the last day of each month and is settled on the 5th of the following month
Support: Portfolio link + 1 work in a similar genre + Number of available episodes per week

It is better to specify the extension for subtitle files. YouTube Customer Center recommends SubRip (.srt) or SubViewer (.sbv) format when creating a subtitle file for the first time.

What is the appropriate price for replay editing?

Negotiation becomes easier if you use the publicly available outsourcing price as a baseline. The video editing cost revealed by Kmong is a minimum of 20,000 won, an average of 140,000 won, and a maximum of 370,000 won, while short-form production costs a minimum of 20,000 won, an average of 130,000 won, and a maximum of 340,000 won. If the posting for a YouTube editor does not even include this range, experienced candidates will not apply.

The sources are Kmong video editing cost and Kmong short-form video production cost. The reason it costs 30,000 won and 150,000 won for the same long form is not the difference in skill level, but the difference in working conditions.

It is the same long form episode, but the biggest variable in price difference is not editing skills, but who finds the editing point.

How to verify with test editing instead of portfolio?

The portfolio is one of the best. On the other hand, I don't know how to meet deadlines, how quickly feedback is reflected, or how to read my viewers' laughter points. The final hurdle in hiring an editor is paid test editing.

Please fix the test source to one 10-minute section. If you give each applicant a different length, you won't be able to compare the results side by side, and if you hand over the entire original, it becomes unpaid practical work rather than a test.

1. Select a 10-minute section that received a good response in a recent replay, cut out only that section, and deliver it. Even if there are multiple applicants, it takes the same 10 minutes.
2. Nail the target results in one line. For example, “1 short form at 9:16, approximately 60 seconds, with subtitles.”
3. Decide on the assignment fee first. Free testing only excludes sincere applicants.
4. Delivery time is 48 hours. Also check if questions are asked in the middle.
5. Give two pieces of feedback on the first result and receive a reflection copy.
6. The combined pay is determined by the scoring table. Don't select based on impressions.

Assignment fees are also calculated based on the same 10-minute section. The assumed time is calculated by deducting 1 short form (0.5 hours of resizing) from the 11-hour per episode and adding viewing of the section, subtitles, and reflection of feedback, and the amount is converted to an hourly wage of 10,320 won.

Converted to minimum wage, it is 14,448 won. The minimum price for short-form production published on Kmong is 20,000 won, so if you set the assignment fee around 20,000 won, you can explain it to the applicant and your baseline will not be shaken. If there are five applicants, you are seeing the actual results of five people within 100,000 won.

• Edit point selection: Passes if more than half of the section overlaps with the section where the viewer actually viewed the clip.
• Cut Rhythm: Passes if the static section does not last longer than 3 seconds.
• Subtitle Accuracy: Passes if there are no typos in proper nouns or game terms and synchronization is less than 0.5 seconds.
• Delivery Compliance: Passes if delivered before the promised time or notified in advance when expected to be late.
• Feedback Reflection: Pass if both revision requests are reflected and the reasons for the different judgments are explained.
• Communication speed: Pass if the answer is received within half a day on weekdays.

Tip: Submit your test assignment in 10-minute sections that have already been edited and uploaded. When I look at it side by side with my results, grading becomes much more accurate.

Aren’t you just passing over the 4-hour original?

A large part of the estimate comes not from editing skills, but from the time spent reading the original from start to finish. If you go through a full 4-hour replay, the editors spend the first 4 hours just exploring. That time is added to the unit price, and the number of days until the first draft also increases. If you reduce the workload before hiring an editor, you can hire a better editor for the same budget.

The table below is based on the total package that makes one 4-hour replay episode into 1 long form and 3 short forms. The time box is in the same range as the total 11 hours, and it is a value assuming that 4 hours of exploration will be reduced to 1 hour of review when candidate sections are organized and passed in advance.

If you don't have time to create short forms during a long broadcast replay, ClipSpray can help. If you just enter the address of Chzzk, SOOP, YouTube, Twitch, or Cimi replay, we will read the chat and sponsorship responses to find the editing point, and organize the results into Report]. The report includes the entire broadcast timeline, reasons for selecting each section, and quotations of key lines by ranking and time range. What you receive as a file is the original quality 16:9 cut edit, SRT subtitles, and a 9:16 vertical edit with subtitles (Function Introduction).

It is not a tool intended to replace an editor. It's closer to having the editor turn on Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve and spend time only on sections that require sense.

Settlement, modification, and copyright are recorded in writing.

It does not have to be in the form of a contract. Most of the disputes will disappear just by pasting the sentences below into the Open KakaoTalk chat window and checking with each other.

• Settlement cycle and account: "Settlement is due at the end of each month and is deposited into the designated account within 5 days of the following month."
• Number of free revisions: "2 free revisions based on the first draft. Additional fees will be paid for each revision from the 3rd revision onwards."
• Original and project files: "Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve project files will be delivered together with delivery, and the originals will be deleted after the contract ends."
• Credit notation: "Indicate the editor's nickname in the video description."
• Scope of portfolio use: "Delivered items can be used in the portfolio after being publicly uploaded to the channel, and undisclosed portions will not be used."
• Delay and loss of contact: "If there is no prior notice when the delivery date exceeds 24 hours, the case is excluded from settlement, and if there is no contact for more than 7 days, the contract is terminated."
• Revenue Distribution (RS): "If view revenue distribution is applied instead of the fixed unit price, the distribution rate and settlement basis data are shared every month."

Tip: Go for a per-side contract for the first month instead of a monthly contract. If you switch to a monthly contract after you have accumulated a settlement history twice, the risk of diving is greatly reduced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I post the job posting for editors so that applicants can come?

Markets such as Kmong, Loudsourcing, and Sumgo gather freelancers with accumulated profiles and reviews, which are good as a safety measure for first outsourcing, while open KakaoTalk, Discord, and Chzzk and SOOP broadcasts have half the chat flow and sponsorship response of an editing store, so the failure rate is lower in a dual track that uses both the market and community rather than using only one market. When posting to two places, set the same deadline to compare applicants at once.

What is the appropriate price for replay editing?

Based on Kmong's release, video editing costs a minimum of 20,000 won, an average of 140,000 won, and a maximum of 370,000 won, and short-form production costs a minimum of 20,000 won, an average of 130,000 won, and a maximum of 340,000 won. If you only entrust long-form cut editing, you start at the lowest level, and if you include subtitles, the average price is around 140,000 won. If the announcement does not even include this range, experienced applicants will not apply, so please write down the amount in numbers for one long form and one short form.

What items must be included in the announcement?

There are nine factors: platform and genre, original episode length, number of episodes per week, output type, subtitle style, source delivery method and capacity, delivery date and number of revisions, unit price and settlement date, and whether there is a long-term contract. In most cases, announcements that do not receive support are passed over not because they are insincere, but because editors are unable to estimate their own work time. Instead of “It’s a bit long,” you should write it down as a number, such as “3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours for one replay,” to get an estimate.

How do I verify with a test edit instead of a portfolio?

Cut a 10-minute section that received a good response in a recent replay, nail down your goal in one line, such as “1 9:16 short form, about 60 seconds, with subtitles,” and leave it to a 48-hour delivery date. Remuneration must be determined first. Free testing only excludes sincere applicants. After giving two pieces of feedback on the first result and receiving a reflected copy, you can use a scorecard to select editing points, cut rhythm, subtitle accuracy, compliance with delivery, reflection of feedback, and speed of communication, so you can make decisions based on evidence, not impressions.

In what format should I request a subtitle file?

It would be better to nail down the extension in the announcement. YouTube Help Center recommends using SubRip (.srt) or SubViewer (.sbv) format when creating a subtitle file for the first time. If you write “SRT subtitle file enclosed” in the output item and include the font, location, and color of the existing channel video as a reference link, modification requests will be greatly reduced.
