Free 1-minute test edit on your footage.

Quick fit check: is this editor right for your channel?
- Video types
- Weekly news roundups, two-headline daily news, leak and rumor breakdowns, update and patch news, release date and trailer news, industry stories (studios, prices, consoles), long weekly news shows
- Editing style
- News first: the headline on screen in the first seconds, the source shown (post, patch note, trailer frame), one chapter card per story, recurring graphics built once and reused, and a pace that never stops on a still screenshot. The same order I use in Mud’s Roblox Rivals News
- Video length
- Big gaming news channels upload 11 to 35 minutes (JorRaptor’s weekly roundups 11 to 15, Spawn Wave’s daily videos 13 to 24, Skill Up’s weekly show about 30 to 35, measured on Oct 18, 2026), so most land in the $150 or $300 package. I also edit longer: Swaylemc’s full movies on my YT Jobs profile run 60 to 234 minutes.
- Upload schedule
- One video only, 1 video per week, 2–3 videos per week, 4 videos per month or several a week (Mud: about 3 a week). Start with one pilot: the free 1-minute test edit.
- Format
- Long-form YouTube videos are the core. YouTube Shorts cut from each long video on request.
- What you send me
- Gameplay and voice recording, ready to edit, or long recordings that need trimming and story building. Separate mic tracks help.
- Estimated price
- About $55 to $150 per finished video (up to $300 for some long or complex edits), depending on length, raw footage and effects. That fits the ‘$50+’ and ‘$100–$300 per video’ boxes for most long videos. Four videos a month: about $220 to $600 (more for long or complex videos); a $500 a month budget usually covers two to four long videos, depending on length. Exact quote within 24 hours, after a free 1-minute test edit.
- Channel size
- From under 1K subscribers (Mr. Marticson, 834) and small to mid-size channels (ThatNoob 4.9K, Crazz 10.7K, DakBlox 82.6K: 0 to 2M+ views in six months) up to 2M+ (Rex 2.29M, Puff 1.83M, Mud 1.26M)
- Turnaround
- First video in 1 to 5 days, then 1 to 2 days; revisions back within 24 hours
- Track record
- Proven YouTube results: 1,250 videos tracked on YT Jobs and 20 reviews from 19 client channels, 17 of them 10/10. Long-term work: Mud since March 2025, about 3 videos a week.

My experience and gaming news, plainly

Why me
- News on a schedule is a regular part of my work: 258 videos for Mud since March 2025, almost all of them his Roblox Rivals News.
- Recurring graphics and a fixed order per episode, so a news series is recognized from the first frame.
What big gaming news channels upload in 2026
Measured on October 18, 2026, from the 12 most recent long videos of three gaming news channels: Skill Up, JorRaptor and Spawn Wave. Three rhythms show up:
- The weekly roundup with one fixed title: JorRaptor uploads “The Biggest Gaming News & New Leaks...” almost every week, 11 to 15 minutes.
- The near-daily video with two headlines in the title, joined by “&”: Spawn Wave’s run 13 to 24 minutes and pair a big story with a second one.
- The long weekly show: Skill Up’s “This Week in Videogames” runs about 30 to 35 minutes, next to separate reviews of 17 to 26 minutes.
The stories that keep coming back this month: GTA 6 news and leaks, console prices and hardware, studio news, and remakes. On every channel the title promises one specific story, and the video has to reach it fast.
How I would edit your gaming news videos
I’ve edited Roblox Rivals news videos for Mud, about three a week, which is close to a gaming news channel. Where your channel differs (consoles and studios instead of one game), I say how I would adapt it.
The headline in the first seconds
A news title promises one story. I would put that story on screen in the first seconds, before any intro, then explain why it matters, then give the background. It is the order I follow in Mud’s Roblox Rivals News, where the update or the leak shows up before anything else.
Show the source, not just the claim
News channels live on trust. When you read a leak, a post or a patch note, I would show it on screen with the key line highlighted and the date visible, so viewers can see where it came from. A leak and a confirmed fact would get different labels, so nobody mixes them up.
One chapter card per story
In a roundup, each story gets a short title card and a YouTube chapter. If the title pairs two headlines, both reach the screen early, so the viewer who clicked for the second one does not leave. The cards are built once and reused every week, the way a news series should look from the first frame.
Never stop on a still screenshot
News has fewer gameplay moments than a let’s play. While you talk, I would move between trailer frames, gameplay, slow zooms on screenshots and simple lower thirds with the key number or date, and cut your pauses, so the picture changes every few seconds without distracting from what you say.
Fast turnaround on a template
News loses value by the hour. I would keep a project template with your intro, cards, lower thirds and music, so a new episode starts from it and only the stories change. That is how a channel uploading three or more news videos a week stays on schedule, as Mud’s does.
Trailers in short pieces, with your voice on top
Gaming news uses a lot of publisher footage. I would use short clips that support what you are saying, keep your commentary over them, and avoid long uncut runs of a trailer or its music, which are the parts most likely to be claimed. You decide what goes in; I keep it tidy.

FAQ
Have you edited gaming news videos before?
Yes. I’ve edited Roblox Rivals news videos for Mud (1.26M subscribers): 258 videos since March 2025, almost all of them his Roblox Rivals News, about three a week, all on my YT Jobs profile. I haven’t edited console or industry news (Xbox, PlayStation, studios) for a client yet; the free 1-minute test edit on your own episode shows you how I would cut it.
Can you edit my gaming news videos?
Yes. Send one recorded episode (your voice or camera, plus the clips and screenshots you want to show) and I edit one minute of it for free, so you can judge the cut before paying. I edit long-form videos, from 10-minute roundups to 35-minute weekly shows, and cut Shorts from them if you want them.
How fast can you turn around a news video?
The first video takes 1 to 5 days while I build your template. After that, 1 to 2 days, and faster for short news when you book a slot ahead. For a channel that uploads several times a week, sending footage at a fixed time each day keeps the schedule easy.
Can you work with trailers and publisher footage?
Yes. I would use short pieces that support what you are saying, with your commentary on top, and avoid long uncut runs of a trailer or its music. Copyright decisions stay yours; I keep the edit tidy so they are easy to check.
Do you also edit my reviews and opinion videos?
Yes. A review is closer to an essay than to a roundup: one argument, gameplay that proves each point and a clear verdict. My commentary page covers that format.
How much does a gaming news YouTube editor cost?
My price is $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. By finished length: up to 10 minutes $55, up to 20 minutes $150, up to 35 minutes $300; longer videos get a custom quote. No contract and no minimum.
