Faceless Video Editor

Posted 3 weeks ago

Summary

We run a faceless YouTube channel about ancient and prehistoric humans — how they lived, survived, ate, healed, and what daily life really looked like. Curiosity-driven documentary content. Most channels in this space lean on flat 2D animation; we deliberately go for a more cinematic, immersive feel, so the editing matters a lot here. What you'll do: Edit long-form videos (10–20 min) from a finished script + AI voiceover. You'll work with provided imagery/footage (cinematic stock, AI-generated scenes, recreations) to build an atmospheric, story-driven flow — strong pacing, scene transitions, light motion on stills (parallax/zoom), maps and timelines where useful, ambient sound design, and a hook that holds. Requirements: Proficient in Premiere Pro / DaVinci / After Effects (tell us which) Can make still images and limited footage feel alive (motion, parallax, pacing) Strong sense of mood, atmosphere, and storytelling rhythm Reliable turnaround and clear communication Bonus: interest in history/anthropology helps with pacing and emphasis Study these reference channels for tone, pacing, and visual treatment: https://www.youtube.com/@Inkexplainer96 https://www.youtube.com/@AxenCool https://www.youtube.com/@Itzquanta https://www.youtube.com/@Paintitsimple To apply: Put the word PRINT at the top. Send (1) a documentary/story-style sample that shows how you handle pacing and atmosphere, (2) your rate per video, (3) turnaround, (4) software you use.
