Video Editor for Faceless YouTube Channel (Health Explainer Videos, Scripted)

Posted 2 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm launching a faceless YouTube channel doing short, science-based "why does your body do this" explainer videos (2-5 minutes each). I have fully written scripts ready to go, including inline notes for what visuals should appear at each point. WHAT I'LL PROVIDE: - A complete script for each video (hook, sections, outro) - Inline [VISUAL NOTE] markers describing what should appear at each moment (e.g. "simple diagram of sleep stages" or "split-screen comparison") - Topic/tone reference: think Kurzgesagt or Bright Side, but shorter and more focused — clean, modern, mid-paced, not flashy WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO: 1. Generate or receive the voiceover (I can provide an ElevenLabs-generated voice track, or you can generate it if you have access — let me know your preference) 2. Source matching stock footage/images for each [VISUAL NOTE] from free or your own licensed libraries (Pexels, Pixabay, Mixkit, Envato, etc. — must be commercially usable, no copyright strikes) 3. Create simple animated diagrams/icon graphics for the notes that call for them (basic 2D motion graphics — nothing elaborate, think clean explainer-video style, not cinematic VFX) 4. Edit everything together with clean pacing — cut every 4-8 seconds to keep retention, matching visuals tightly to the script's timing 5. Add burned-in captions (clean, readable style) 6. Add subtle background music (royalty-free, mood-appropriate, mixed under the voiceover — not overpowering) 7. Export in 1920x1080, MP4, YouTube-ready DELIVERABLES PER VIDEO: - Final edited video file - A separate 30-45 second vertical cut (9:16) of the strongest hook/section, for use as a Short TURNAROUND: 4-5 days per video after you receive the script REVISIONS: 2 rounds of revisions included per video BUDGET: $50 fixed price for the first video as a paid trial. If it's a good fit, I'm looking to hire the same editor consistently for a growing library of videos, with the rate increasing as we establish a working rhythm. TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE: - 2-3 examples of faceless/explainer-style video edits you've done (link to portfolio or specific YouTube videos) - Confirmation you can source your own stock footage/diagrams (not just cut footage I provide) - Your typical turnaround time for a video this length - Whether you have ElevenLabs access already, or need me to provide the voice track Looking to start with one video as a trial and build a long-term working relationship from there.
