Video editor for history youtube channel
Worldwide
We run a faceless documentary YouTube channel about daily life behind the Iron Curtain — the Soviet Union, East Germany, and the broader Eastern Bloc. Think archival footage, slow pacing, serious tone. Intentional. We need someone who can turn script and voice into finished video. What the job looks like: Documentary-style editing, 10–20 minute videos Syncing archival footage and b-roll to a pre-recorded voiceover Adding on-screen text overlays at specific moments (provided in the script) Color grading to match a consistent archival/documentary look Basic sound design — ambient audio, music layering, transitions What we do NOT need: AI voiceover Anyone who hasn't edited history or documentary content before Our reference style: https://www.youtube.com/@VintageTimelineUSA https://www.youtube.com/@VintageAmerica1960 https://www.youtube.com/@AmericanRewindChannel/videos Watch two or three videos from these channels before applying. If that visual style appeals to you, we want to hear from you.We are building a consistent publishing schedule and looking for a reliable long-term collaborator — not a one-off hire.
