Posted last quarter

Worldwide

Summary

I have recently launched a new YouTube channel in the food niche and I’m looking for a high-level faceless video editor who understands how to build engaging content from day one. This is not basic editing work. I need someone who can turn scripts and voiceovers into fast-paced, high-retention videos that feel polished, intentional, and built for growth. If you don’t already understand YouTube automation and retention editing, this won’t be a good fit. What You’ll Do: -Edit 6–10 minute faceless YouTube videos -Source high-quality, copyright-free footage (no reused or generic clips) -Add sound effects, background music, and visual layering -Create pattern interrupts every few seconds to maintain engagement -Ensure tight pacing (no dead space or slow sections) -Sync visuals precisely with narration Style Reference (Must Match or Exceed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09oxNQkMmAk&t=3s Clean, engaging, and optimized for watch time and retention. Requirements (Strict): -Proven experience editing faceless YouTube content -Strong understanding of YouTube automation-style videos -Deep knowledge of copyright-safe footage & fair use -Ability to edit for retention, not just aesthetics -Consistent delivery and clear communication Do NOT Apply If: -You are new to video editing -You don’t have faceless YouTube samples -You rely on basic cuts, stock clips, or slow pacing What I’m Looking For: An editor who: -Thinks like a YouTube strategist, not just an editor -Understands viewer psychology and retention curves -Can help a new channel grow quickly with strong content Send your rate to edit the first 30 seconds of my video before hire and your rate per 6–10 minute video. If you can create videos that hold attention and feel addictive to watch, I want to work with you long-term. Thank you
