YouTube editor for 1M+ subscriber channels
To be clear up front: what I do for channels with over a million subscribers is long-form editing. Channel management is available on request, scoped and quoted separately. Named 1M+ editing clients include Mud, Rex & Alexa and Puff, plus earlier work for HyperCookiie. Free 1-minute test edit, no contract, a quote per video.
Quick fit check: is this editor right for your channel?
- Video types
- Long-form editing for channels with 1M+ subscribers
- Editing style
- Fast-paced challenges and gameplay; funny and chaotic, with memes, zooms and sound effects; story-driven gameplay with strong retention; clean, informative Roblox news. Usually a mix (Rex & Alexa: challenges; Mud: news)
- Video length
- 8–10, 10–20, 20–40 or 40+ minutes, up to feature-length (Swaylemc’s full movies run one to almost four hours).
- 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: 1,277 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

At a million subscribers, a channel already has people around it: the creator, often a manager, sometimes a thumbnail artist or another editor. An outside long-form editor fits best as one dependable part of that setup, not as the person running it. What matters most is timing, a style that doesn't wobble, and someone who answers when an upload is close.
My name is Kevin Tabares; I edit long-form YouTube videos. Three channels with more than a million subscribers that I've edited for are listed below, including Mud, whose channel covers Roblox Rivals news, a format where being on time matters as much as the cut itself.
What changes at 1M subscribers
- Timing becomes part of the edit. News and update videos lose value if they are late. The useful question is not "how fast can you edit?" but "when does the footage arrive, and when does this need to be live?"
- More people give notes. A creator, a manager and a brand contact can all have opinions on the same cut. Naming one person who approves saves days.
- Sponsor segments have their own rules. Brands send scripts, required lines and words to avoid. The edit follows that brief, and the creator signs off before anything goes out.
- The back catalogue sets the standard. A new upload sits next to hundreds of older ones in recommendations, so it should look like part of the same channel.
- Small errors get noticed fast. A wrong clip or an audio glitch reaches a lot of people within hours, so every export gets checked before it is delivered.
Channels over 1M I've edited for
Subscriber figures come from the channels themselves and video counts from the YT Jobs record. Click a name for the page on who edits that channel.
| Channel | Subscribers | Videos edited | What I edit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mud @MudPlayz | 1.26M | 258 | Roblox Rivals news, since March 2025 |
| HyperCookiie @HyperCookiie | 1.88M | 14 | Long-form videos (earlier work, Aug 2025 to Mar 2026) |

Rex & Alexa (2.29M) and Boffy (2.12M) are on the 2M page. In total, my YT Jobs profile tracks 1,277 videos and 152.2M views. The views belong to the creators; the number shows the amount of work behind them.

How working together goes
- Send the channel link and the raw footage for one video through the contact form or . If a manager handles this, they can send it. You'll normally get a reply within a few hours.
- I cut a free 1-minute test edit from that footage in the channel's current style, for whoever approves edits to judge.
- If it fits, the first full video takes 1 to 5 days depending on length and complexity, and after that usually 1 to 2 days. Time-sensitive uploads get their deadline agreed when the footage is sent.
- Revisions until you're happy, each back within 24 hours. If after two revision rounds the edit still isn't right, you don't pay the second invoice.
- No contract. Each video is quoted on its own and booked with 50% or 100% up front, in USD, by PayPal or USDC.
- Working inside your setup. Your brief, your review tool, your approver. For high volume I bring in a small team of trusted editors and review every video myself.
- Channel management. Available on request, scoped and quoted separately.
Mistakes at this size
Too many people approving one video
When three people send conflicting notes, the editor has to guess whose to follow, and the upload waits. Pick one approver and route every note through them.
Briefing through someone who hasn't seen the footage
Notes passed on second-hand lose detail. Timestamped notes from whoever actually watched the cut work better than a summary.
Leaving sponsor rules out of the brief
Required lines, logo placement and anything a brand does not want shown should reach the editor with the footage, not after the first cut.
No written style when someone new joins
Big channels sometimes add an editor during busy months. Without written style notes, the new person learns by trial and error on public uploads.
What to look for at 1M
- Other channels this size. Ask which channels over a million subscribers they have edited many videos for, and read reviews on a site the editor doesn't control.
- Responsiveness close to deadlines. How fast do they answer when an upload is a few hours away?
- Care with unreleased material. News channels often hold footage or information that isn't public yet.
- A test on your footage. Even at this size, a short test in your style is the quickest way to judge fit.
What I won't claim. Mud, Puff and HyperCookiie built their channels themselves: the ideas, the timing and the work on camera are theirs. I'm not going to tell you an editor made any of them big. What I can show is the client list, their reviews in their own words, and a free 1-minute test edit on your footage.
