Looking for a Skilled Video Editor – Faceless YouTube Channel (Self-Sufficiency & DIY)

A little background: I’m a mother of two, and what started as a personal deep-dive into smarter, more independent living has grown into a YouTube channel I’m genuinely passionate about. The goal is simple — show everyday families how to cut costs, reduce dependence on overpriced systems, and take back control. Now I need an editor who can bring that vision to life. The content focuses on self-sufficiency, alternative energy, and DIY engineering — think passive cooling systems, off-grid building methods, and overlooked solutions that save real money. The style is authoritative and documentary-driven, with the emphasis on practical, actionable knowledge that viewers can actually use. **About the videos:** Each video runs between 8 and 14 minutes. I supply the script, and you handle the voiceover production directly through ElevenLabs using a voice I specify. From there, the edit should combine high-quality stock footage with motion graphics, text overlays, and simple animations to illustrate technical concepts. The pacing should be tight — every second earns its place. **What the role involves:** - Producing the voiceover via ElevenLabs based on the provided script and voice settings - Cutting and assembling the full video from voiceover and visuals - Sourcing appropriate stock footage (Pexels, Storyblocks, or equivalent) - Designing and adding text overlays, lower thirds, and callout graphics - Building simple motion graphics to visualize concepts (e.g. diagrams, cost comparisons) - Applying consistent color grading for a cinematic look - Final delivery in 1080p or 4K, optimized for YouTube **Copyright & Fair Use — non-negotiable:** A deep understanding of YouTube’s Fair Use guidelines and copyright rules is required — and they must be applied to every single video without exception. All footage, graphics, and third-party assets must be licensed, royalty-free, or clearly covered by Fair Use. Please only apply if you can stand behind this fully. **Who I’m looking for:** - A strong portfolio in educational, documentary, or DIY-style YouTube content - Hands-on experience with ElevenLabs or comparable AI voiceover tools - Background working on faceless or voiceover-based channels is a plus - Fluent in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects - Dependable, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with **Scope and timeline:** The starting point is one video per week. As the channel scales, I expect that to grow to two videos per week. I’m looking for a long-term working relationship — someone who’s invested in the channel’s success, not just the next invoice. If building something meaningful from the ground up sounds like your kind of project, I’d love to hear from you. Bianca
