I’m Kevin Tabares, a long-form YouTube editor. I edit Minecraft videos for Puff (1.83M subscribers), including hunts where the players track down one horror creature, and can edit yours: $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. I haven’t edited Minecraft Manhunt videos for a client yet, so start with a free 1-minute test.
Free 1-minute test edit · From $55 per video · No contract · Revisions back within 24 h
9.8/10 average: 20 YT Jobs reviews from 19 client channels, 17 of them a perfect 10/10
Quick fit check: is this editor right for your channel?
- Video types
- Speedrunner vs 1 to 6 hunters, rematches, revivals and finales, twist rules (infected hunters, a speedrunner swap, a new speedrunner every minute, “Manhunt, But…”), team manhunts (3v3, 2v2v2 chained together), the same match from the hunters’ POV, many hunters against one pro, behind-the-scenes videos
- Editing style
- What I would do for Minecraft Manhunt: the rules and the twist on screen before the first tree is punched, the speedrunner’s route as a fixed progress tracker, every player’s recording synced on one timeline, traps and fights at real speed with a replay from the other side. Close to Puff’s Minecraft hunts, where the players track one target for 35 to 47 minutes
- Video length
- Manhunts on big channels run 28 to 69 minutes (median 51 across 18 recent manhunts and speedrunner variants from Dream, Sapnap and Bionic, measured on Oct 13, 2026), so most get a custom quote and the shorter ones fit the $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.
- Who you work with
- Kevin Tabares, directly. I review every video before it reaches you.
- Channel language
- English or Spanish
- Terms
- Paid in USD by PayPal or USDC. No contract, no minimum.
- Closest proof
- I haven’t edited Minecraft Manhunt for a client yet. Closest long-form work: “3 Idiots Hunt Down the Sun Man in Minecraft” on Puff (1.83M subscribers), 1.37M views; “Surviving Minecraft's Deadliest Hunter…” on Puff (1.83M subscribers), 52.3K views
My experience and Minecraft Manhunt, plainly
- Proven: My YT Jobs profile tracks 1,250+ videos and 147M+ views, with 20 client reviews averaging 9.8/10. I edit for Mud (1.26M subscribers), Puff (1.83M) and Rex & Alexa (2.29M); for Mud since March 2025, about 3 videos a week.
- Not proven yet: A manhunt itself: syncing the speedrunner’s and every hunter’s recording on one timeline, and reading a speedrun route on sight (the portal, the blaze rods or the eye of ender that turns a match). I haven’t built that on client work yet; my closest Minecraft work is Puff’s horror hunts.
- How to check it before paying: The free 1-minute test edit on your own Minecraft Manhunt footage, before you pay anything.
Why me
- Puff is an active client (160 videos since July 2025), and hunts are a recurring format there: in four videos the players track down a horror creature (the Sun Man, Cat in the Hat, the Mutant Rex, the RATMAN), 35 to 47 minutes each; in two others, something hunts them.
What big Minecraft Manhunt channels upload in 2026
Measured on October 13, 2026, from the 12 latest uploads on the Videos tab of Dream, Sapnap, Bionic and Skeppy. Nine of Dream’s 12 are manhunts or about them, and nine of Sapnap’s 12 are manhunts or speedrunner variants. Leaving out Dream’s 6-minute behind-the-scenes video and adding Bionic’s “50 Hunters vs 1 Pro on 1 Block”, those 18 videos run 28 to 69 minutes, with a median of 51. The formats that keep coming back:
- One speedrunner against more hunters each time: Dream’s REVIVAL series went from one hunter to five, then came six hunters and a REMATCH.
- The same match from the other side: Sapnap uploads the hunters’ POV of the six-hunter match and of its rematch.
- A twist on the rules: infected hunters, a speedrunner swap, a new speedrunner every minute, “Manhunt, But Every Time I Take Damage I Get Shocked…”.
- Teams instead of one runner: Sapnap’s “Minecraft Manhunt 3v3” and “Minecraft Manhunt 2v2v2 (Chained Together)”.
- Many against one pro: Bionic’s 44-minute “50 Hunters vs 1 Pro on 1 Block”.
- Races and swaps next to the manhunts: Skeppy’s “Impossible Minecraft Speedrunning VS BadBoyHalo” and “Minecraft 2-Way Death Swap”, and Sapnap’s “Minecraft 2v2 Death Swap”.
- Behind the scenes: Dream’s 6-minute “How Minecraft Manhunt is Made…”.
The six-hunter match is the most watched of Dream’s 12 latest uploads, with 24M views, and Sapnap’s “Hunters POV” video with the same title has 2.1M. On YouTube, typing “minecraft manhunt” suggests “5v1 finale”, “4 hunters finale” and “but” (autocomplete checked on October 13, 2026).
How I would edit your Minecraft Manhunt videos
I haven’t cut a manhunt for a client, so this is how I would do it, built on the Minecraft hunts I edit for Puff and the challenge videos I edit for Rex & Alexa.
Rules, twist and win conditions before the first tree
A manhunt lives on its rules: who runs, how many hunt, what each side needs to win and this episode’s twist. I would put them on screen in the first 30 seconds, one card per side, before the runner punches the first tree. It is the rule I follow on Rex & Alexa’s challenge videos: what the title promises shows up early.
The route as a progress tracker
The tension is how far the runner is from the dragon. I would design one small tracker for the route (iron, Nether, blaze rods, eyes of ender, stronghold, End) and keep it in the same corner of every episode, ticking each step as it happens, the way a day counter works in a survival series. A viewer who skips ahead always knows how close the run is.
Every recording on one timeline
Each player records their own screen. I would sync all of them on one moment everybody hears, keep the runner’s view as the spine and cut to a hunter when the compass points close or a trap is being set, with one name tag and one color per player, so the viewer always knows whose screen it is.
Traps at real speed, then a replay from the other side
Setting a lava or TNT trap gets a short montage; the trap goes off at real speed, cut on the hit, and the reaction is held whole. When the other side saw it differently, I would add one replay from their view. Fights, water-bucket clutches and escapes are never sped up: sped up, they are hard to read.
Mining compressed, the chase close to real time
Mining, crafting and walking with nobody near get folded into quick montages while the tracker ticks; the stretches when a hunter is in sight play close to real time. In most manhunts the hunters respawn, so their walk back is cut short, but their chat stays: the commentary that links two chases keeps it one match, as in my co-op Minecraft videos for Puff.
Voice chat as the second story
Hunters plan out loud while the runner talks to the camera. With voices on separate tracks, I would keep the game under them, let the hunters’ plan play just before it works or fails so the payoff lands, and keep sound effects and memes for the joke, not everywhere.
Finales, rematches and the hunters’ video
Long matches would get YouTube chapters by stage (Nether, stronghold, End) and the dragon fight close to real time. A rematch or the next episode with one more hunter would reuse the same rule cards, tracker and name tags, opening with a short recap of the last match, so the whole series looks like one show.
Closest real examples of my gaming work
These are long-form videos I edited, picked because their format is the closest to a manhunt: Minecraft hunts for Puff, three players against the best one for goatt, a Minecraft rule challenge for Skeppy and two players chained together for Rex & Alexa. Watch the first minute of the one closest to your format.
None of these is Minecraft Manhunt. Views from the YouTube Data API on Oct 13, 2026; links open the video on YouTube.

FAQ
Have you edited Minecraft Manhunt videos before?
No, I haven’t edited Minecraft Manhunt videos for a client yet. My long-form gaming work is Roblox (Rex & Alexa, Mud), Minecraft (Puff, Swaylemc’s full movies), horror games and Madden tournaments, all listed on my YT Jobs profile. The free 1-minute test edit on your own Minecraft Manhunt footage is how you judge my Minecraft Manhunt edit before paying anything.
Can you edit my Minecraft Manhunt videos?
Yes. Send a few minutes of raw footage from one match, the runner’s and one hunter’s, and I edit one minute of it for free, so you can judge the cut before paying. I edit long-form videos, from 10 minutes to full movies of several hours, and cut Shorts from them if you want them.
What do you need from me to edit a manhunt?
Every player’s recording of the match, the runner’s and each hunter’s, with voices on separate tracks if you can, plus the rules and the twist of the episode. If you note the big moments (a trap, a near-death, the portal, the dragon), the cut starts from them. One POV is enough for a short video; more POVs make the chases easier to follow.
Can you cut the hunters’ POV of the same match into a second video?
Yes, as a separate video with its own quote. The footage is the same but the story changes: the plan, the tracking and the traps come first, and the runner’s escapes are seen from behind. Sapnap does this with the six-hunter matches.
Do you edit Death Swaps, speedrun races and other Minecraft versus videos?
Not yet. My closest Minecraft work is the hunts I edit for Puff and a “Minecraft, But…” random-drops challenge for Skeppy (earlier work, 2025). I would edit them the way this page describes for manhunts: every recording synced, the swap or the finish line on screen, fights at real speed.
Can you edit a manhunt finale of an hour or more?
Yes. Videos over 35 minutes get a custom quote. Three of the 18 recent manhunt and speedrunner videos I measured on Dream’s, Sapnap’s and Bionic’s channels pass an hour, and the longest videos on my YT Jobs profile are Swaylemc’s full movies, which run up to almost four hours.
How much does a Minecraft Manhunt 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.
Send me your Minecraft Manhunt footage
