Summary

We are looking for a long-term YouTube video editor to create engaging historical videos focused on the American Revolution and 18th-century American history. Videos will typically be around 15 minutes, unless otherwise indicated. Rate: $3 USD per finished minute of video. We provide the script, voiceover, creative direction, and reference examples. Your job will be to turn each script into an engaging historical video using realistic generated video clips and supporting visuals that accurately represent the scenes being described. Requirements The editor should be able to: • Speak and understand English well • Communicate effectively and reliably • Deliver projects within 3 days or less • Edit a minimum of 2 videos per week • Be creative and detail-oriented • Generate high-quality, realistic video clips based on the script • Maintain visual consistency between generated characters, locations, uniforms, and scenes • Understand how to visually tell a historical story • Keep the editing engaging and well-paced throughout the video If you have read the middle of this job description, please include your favorite historical figure at the beginning or end of your proposal. What We Provide • Full script • Voiceover • Creative direction • Reference examples • Feedback for revisions Your Responsibilities • Read and understand the script before editing • Generate realistic cinematic video clips that visually represent the events described in the script • Create effective prompts for generating historically appropriate scenes • Maintain consistency in characters, clothing, weapons, environments, and overall visual style • Pay attention to historical accuracy, especially uniforms, weapons, architecture, flags, and locations • Combine generated clips with relevant supporting visuals, maps, graphics, text, or historical material when appropriate • Add smooth transitions and light motion graphics when needed • Add appropriate sound effects • Add background music that is copyright-free or properly licensed • Synchronize the visuals closely with the script and voiceover • Deliver a polished and engaging final video The content will primarily cover American Revolution battles, military campaigns, historical figures, major events, and lesser-known stories from the Revolutionary era. The goal is to make viewers feel like they are watching the events unfold, rather than simply watching a slideshow of historical images. Generated clips should look realistic, cinematic, and appropriate for the historical period. Historical Accuracy Attention to detail is important. Generated scenes should avoid obvious historical inaccuracies or modern elements. Uniforms, weapons, buildings, ships, battlefields, and other details should reasonably match the American Revolutionary War era whenever they appear.

Reference examples of the exact style and quality we are looking for will be shared with shortlisted candidates. Potential contractors may also be interviewed through a call before hiring.
