Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

Job Type: Fixed-Price ($100 per video milestone to start, potential for long-term full-time retainer) Category: Video Editing & Production - Video Post-Editing Job Description: IMPORTANT: Start the very first sentence of your proposal with the word "ARCHIVE" so I know you have read this entire description carefully. Generic copy-paste applications missing this will be rejected immediately. I am looking for a reliable, detail-oriented video editor to produce high-retention, documentary-style faceless YouTube videos (18 to 20 minutes long). Here are two exact examples of the editing style, pacing, and visual formatting we are producing: Style Example 1: https://youtu.be/TmCFmeVrUdc Style Example 2: https://youtu.be/UQfqC8mqTxI We will start with 1 video per week as a paid test milestone ($100 per video). If the workflow, quality, and turnaround are smooth, this will quickly ramp up to 2 videos per week, with an opportunity to transition into a guaranteed full-time monthly retainer ($1,200 to $1,500 per month). What I Will Provide: Complete voiceover audio file (clean, generated via ElevenLabs). Full narrative script with itemized sections (10 to 15 items per video). Specific reference links and images for the exact items discussed. Thumbnail concept direction and reference templates. What You Will Do: Assemble the 18 to 20 minute video using relevant high-res images, archival/stock B-roll, and clean motion transitions (subtle Ken Burns zoom, smooth pans, slow Ken Burns effect). Add bold, readable on-screen text overlays for key details (dates, mint marks, estimated values, item names). Implement clean background music leveling and subtle ambient sound effects. Design 1 high-CTR YouTube thumbnail (1280x720) following our established visual style (high contrast, clear subject cutout, bold text). Deliver final 1080p MP4 export and project file. Requirements: Proven experience editing long-form faceless/documentary style YouTube content (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut Pro). Strong visual intuition—ability to find and match the exact vintage items, coins, and antiques described in the audio without putting the wrong dates or models on screen. Fast turnaround (able to deliver draft edit within 48 to 72 hours of receiving voiceover and script). Clear, responsive communication. How to Apply: Put "ARCHIVE" as the first word of your response. Link 2 to 3 portfolio samples of long-form (10+ min) faceless YouTube videos you personally edited that match this pacing. Confirm what editing software you use (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, etc.). Confirm your typical turnaround time for an 18 to 20 minute video once provided the voiceover and script.
