Summary

AI Video Editor – Historical City Timelapse Channel (Fixed-Camera Format) Fixed-price · Expert · Contract-to-hire · Ongoing project SUMMARY I AM HIRING IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS! I am based in Germany, and I am a history buff. I run a growing German-language YouTube channel that shows cities and historical events evolving across thousands of years — from the Ice Age to today — using cinematic AI-generated visuals and a professional German voiceover. Our first videos are produced. Now I am expanding the team: I am looking for a second AI Video Editor so production can scale — starting with three clearly defined paid tasks, then ongoing video production. WHAT WE ARE BUILDING This is not a typical YouTube Automation channel. We are creating a German-language history channel with a format that barely exists in the German-speaking market — cities and civilizations evolving across thousands of years, shown from a FIXED camera angle, with photorealistic AI visuals that morph seamlessly from one era to the next. Think: Rome in 10,000 BC — then watch it transform, era by era, all the way to 2026. With a cinematic German voiceover. For quality reference, please study these channels before applying: - Timelapse Studio — youtube.com/@TimelapseStudioChannel - Timewarp Cities — youtube.com/@timewarpcities - Restored Timeline — youtube.com/@RestoredTimeline Note: These channels have no voiceover — only music. Your visuals must work perfectly WITH a German narration track. YOUR FIRST THREE TASKS (paid onboarding — this is the test project) 1. YEAR OVERLAYS: Add on-screen year stamps (timestamps) to two finished videos, following an exact written spec we provide — position, font, timing per section. Simple, precise work. This shows us you read briefings and follow them exactly. 2. CHANNEL TRAILER: Cut a short channel trailer from our existing finished footage, using the German ElevenLabs voiceover we deliver. No new AI generation needed — editing, pacing, music from the YouTube Audio Library. 3. FIRST FULL VIDEO: After tasks 1–2 are approved, you produce your first complete fixed-camera evolution video with our script, voiceover, and era list. WHAT YOU WILL DO (ongoing) - Generate photorealistic AI visuals for each historical era — fixed camera angle throughout - Create smooth morphing transitions between eras, synced to the voiceover - Deliver fully AI-animated video — real moving, morphing footage, NOT static images with a motion/parallax effect - Ensure historical accuracy per era (correct clothing, armor, architecture — no anachronisms) - Integrate the German ElevenLabs voiceover we provide and mix background music underneath (YouTube Audio Library only) - Add year and era text overlays per our channel spec - Final color grading and cinematic look - Deliver final MP4 within the agreed window HOW WE WORK We provide a complete Editor Package for every video: script with numbered voiceover blocks, image list, landmark references, and binding style rules. Before production starts, you answer a short briefing check (a few questions) that confirms you have read the package. Milestones are funded after the check. This protects both sides and keeps revisions to fine-tuning instead of basic corrections. WHAT I OFFER - Long-term collaboration — this is not a one-off project - Regular videos once we get started - Paid onboarding tasks before the ongoing contract - Clear workflow — we provide script, audio, era list, and references. You create the visuals. HOW TO APPLY Send me your portfolio. Show me work that is relevant to what we are building — historical, cinematic, or AI-generated video work. We will only work with people who are looking for a long-term collaboration. No long cover letters. Just show me what you can do. I am hiring in the next 24 hours — so do not wait.
