YouTube editor for 50K subscriber channels
If your Roblox or gaming channel sits between 10K and 100K subscribers and needs two long videos a week, look for an editor who has already edited channels that size and writes down a price per length. I'm Kevin Tabares, a long-form YouTube editor since 2015. This page lists the Roblox channels in that range where I've edited the most videos, what $150 buys (up to 20 finished minutes) and the terms: a free 1-minute test edit and no contract.
Quick fit check: is this editor right for your channel?
- Video types
- Gaming, Roblox, Minecraft, documentaries
- 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.

Roblox channel with 40K subscribers, $150 per video, 2 long videos a week: who should I hire?
Hire an editor who has already cut Roblox channels this size. I'm Kevin Tabares: I edited DakBlox (82.6K subscribers, 53 videos, top one 525K views) and Crazz (10.7K, 811K views on a 99 Nights video), and I edit about 2 long videos a week for Rex & Alexa. $150 covers up to 20 finished minutes.
Price by length, and what two videos a week cost
| Finished length | Price per video | Two a week (8 or 9 videos a month) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 minutes | $55 | $440 to $495 |
| Up to 20 minutes | $150 | $1,200 to $1,350 |
| Up to 35 minutes | $300 | $2,400 to $2,700 |
In general: $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. The tiers by length are the same as on the Roblox and Minecraft packages page. There is no contract and no minimum: you book one video at a time and pay 50% or 100% up front, in USD, by PayPal or USDC. The exact quote comes within 24 hours, after a free 1-minute test edit on your own footage.
Roblox channels between 10K and 100K I've edited
The three channels in this range where I've edited the most videos. Subscribers, videos and views as listed in my YT Jobs record, read on 4 October 2026. Each channel name links to a short page about who edits that channel.
| Channel | Subscribers | Videos I edited | Most viewed video I edited | Views |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DakBlox @DakBlox, dakblake's second channel (not his main channel) | 82.6K | 53 | POPPY PLAYTIME CHAPTER 5 ROBLOX GAMES... | 525K |
| Crazz | 10.7K | 35, plus 7 on Crazz Plays | 99 Nights, But Every Day = Pelt Trader Upgrades | 811K |
| goatt | 11.6K | 17 | Can ME, SharkTactics, and TheaBeasty take down the NUMBER 1 PLAYER in RIVALS! | 38K |
For the two-a-week part, look at Rex & Alexa (2.29M subscribers, Roblox challenges): 27 long videos from 6 July to 3 October 2026, about 2.1 a week, and 32 of the 126 I've edited for them run 20 minutes or longer.
My YT Jobs profile tracks 1,277 videos and 152.2M views. Those views belong to the creators; the number shows how much work has gone through, not who grew what. The full list, 1,163 videos from 46 channels, is on the portfolio page.
What a channel in this range says
I love everything that he edits! He has such a good attitude, he fixes anything I need changed and the turnaround times are so fast. I also love the amazing understanding of humor and taking any funny segment in a video to a new level. So amazing and I would definitely recommend!

What changes when you hand off the edit at 50K
At around 50,000 subscribers, many creators are still cutting their own videos, or stopped very recently. The channel already has a style, but it mostly lives in the creator's head: how fast the cuts go, which moments get a zoom, where the music drops out, which jokes get a sound effect. Handing the edit to someone else for the first time is less about new effects and more about getting that style out of your head and onto someone else's timeline without losing it.
- Your time comes back, but not on day one. The first uploads with a new editor take more of your attention, not less: notes, examples, small corrections. That settles once the editor has seen enough of the channel to stop guessing.
- The style has to be written down. "Make it snappy" means something different to every editor. A short page of examples (a video you love, one you would never post again, the zooms and sounds you always use) usually saves more revision rounds than a long call.
- The upload date becomes shared. Once someone else edits, the date depends on two moments: when the footage arrives and when your notes go back. Agreeing on those two moments matters more than any promise about speed.
- You choose what to keep. Some creators at this size keep the intro or the thumbnail moment for themselves and hand off the rest. That is a perfectly good way to start.
- Raw footage gets organized. Recording sessions, file names and a shared folder stop being optional, because an editor can only cut what they can find.
How the first video goes
- Send your channel link and the raw footage for one video through the contact form or by email to . Replies usually come within a few hours.
- I cut a free 1-minute test edit from your own footage, in your channel's style, so you can judge the fit before you pay anything.
- If it fits, the first full video takes 1 to 5 days, depending on length and complexity. After that, usually 1 to 2 days per video.
- Revisions until you're happy, each one back within 24 hours. If after two revision rounds the edit still isn't right, you don't pay the second invoice.
- No contract, no minimum. Each video gets its own quote. To book it, you pay 50% or 100% up front, in USD, by PayPal or USDC.
- Irregular uploads are fine. You book one video at a time, whenever you have footage ready.
- Long-form first. Shorts and thumbnails are available on request.
Mistakes worth avoiding with your first editor
Judging the editor on the first video alone
The first upload with anyone new is usually the weakest, because they are still learning the channel. Give clear notes on it, and judge the second and third videos against the same brief before you decide.
Briefing by voice only
A call feels faster, but nothing from it survives to the next video. Put the style in writing, with timestamps from your own uploads. There is a template in how to brief your video editor.
Changing everything in the same week
A new editor, new transitions, a new color look and new graphics all at once make it impossible to tell what is working. Hand off the edit first, then change the look later, one thing at a time.
Not agreeing on dates
Late uploads often come from footage arriving late or notes sitting unanswered, not only from slow editing. Agree on both before the first video. What to agree with a YouTube editor lists the rest.
What to look for in an editor at this size
- Several videos in a row from one channel. One great video proves skill. Ten that look like they belong together prove the editor can hold a style.
- Experience close to your genre. Gaming, commentary and tutorials are cut differently. Ask for work in your format.
- A turnaround they will write down. And a plain answer to "what happens if you are sick that week?"
- Questions back about your brief. An editor who asks how fast you want the cuts, or which moments always get a zoom, is already working on your style.
- A way to try them on your own footage. Seeing your raw files cut in your style tells you more than any showreel.
What I won't claim. I'm not going to tell you an editor will grow a 50K channel. The channels above were built by the creators who run them. What I can show is who I've edited for, their reviews in their own words, and a free 1-minute test edit on your own footage.
FAQ
At what subscriber count does hiring an editor become worth it?
At any size. For a smaller channel, a good start is one video with a clear brief. At 50K, handing off the edit is mostly about time and a steady schedule; whether it pays back depends on your own revenue, so run your own numbers before you book.
How much does an editor cost at 50K subs?
$55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. By length: $55 for up to 10 finished minutes, $150 for up to 20 and $300 for up to 35. Two videos a week is 8 or 9 a month, so at $150 each that is $1,200 to $1,350 a month. No contract and no minimum; the exact quote comes within 24 hours, after a free 1-minute test edit, and to book a video you pay 50% or 100% up front, in USD, by PayPal or USDC.
What should I send for the test edit?
Your channel link, the raw footage for one video, one or two of your own uploads that show the style you want, and anything you never want to see in your videos. That is enough for a 1-minute test.
What happens if I don't like the first edits?
Send notes. Revisions continue until you're happy, each one back within 24 hours. If after two revision rounds the edit still isn't right, you don't pay the second invoice.
Do you work with channels still growing to 50K?
Yes, at any size. For a smaller channel, the simplest start is one video with a clear brief, booked on its own.
