Freelance Video Editor Wanted – YouTube Automation Channel

I'm launching a new faceless YouTube channel and looking for a skilled video editor to handle video production only. Script, voiceover, and topic research are all provided by me – you focus purely on bringing the videos to life through editing.Why this opportunity is different: This is a brand-new channel, and I'm looking for someone to grow with from day one. If our collaboration goes well, you'll become my main video editor as the channel scales – with consistent monthly work, a stable creative partnership, and the chance to shape the visual identity of the channel from the ground up. I'd much rather invest in one great long-term editor than constantly switch freelancers.What you'll be doing: Editing long-form YouTube videos based on the script and voiceover I provide Adding B-roll, stock footage, images, motion graphics, and on-screen text Designing clean transitions, pacing, and visual flow that keeps retention high Adding subtitles/captions Sound design (SFX, ambient sounds, balancing music with voiceover) Color grading and clean audio mixing Royalty-free music only (Epidemic Sound, Artlist, Uppbeat, etc.) Final delivery optimized for YouTube What I provide: Finished script Final voiceover audio (timed and ready to edit) Style references and brand guidelines (fonts, colors, intro/outro if applicable) Clear brief for each video Access to my stock footage / image library (if applicable) Feedback rounds Technical requirements: Final delivery: 1920x1080 (Full HD), MP4, 16:9 Clean export optimized for YouTube Project files available on request Consistent style across all videos so the channel feels cohesive Requirements: Proven portfolio of YouTube video editing (faceless content or similar long-form work strongly preferred) Strong sense of pacing, retention, and YouTube editing best practices Reliable communication and on-time delivery Ability to maintain consistent style and quality across videos at volume Working knowledge of fair use and YouTube's Content ID system (no risky footage, no copyrighted music) Genuine interest in building something long-term, not just one-off gigs Nice to have: Experience editing for monetized or growing YouTube channels Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., for B-roll, image generation, upscaling) Thumbnail design skills (optional – let me know if you offer this too) Ideas and suggestions to improve videos beyond what's in the brief What I need from you when applying: Portfolio links – especially long-form YouTube editing work Your price per video (please specify based on video length – e.g., 8–10 min, 10–15 min) Typical turnaround time per video Software you use How many videos per month you can comfortably handle A short note on your editing style and approach Why building a long-term partnership with a growing channel appeals to you What to expect: Starting with 1–2 test videos to evaluate fit If it works, we move to 2–4 videos per month initially As the channel grows, so does the workload – with the right person, this can become a stable, long-term role with predictable monthly income I'm a fair, communicative collaborator who values quality over the lowest price Looking forward to finding the right person to build this with.
