Summary

I’m looking for a long-term video editor to help build a new YouTube documentary channel inspired by Vox and Pezle. Videos will typically be 10-20 minutes long, with a goal of one video per week. I will provide: * The topic * A completed script I’m looking for someone who can handle the rest, including: * AI voice-over * Sourcing stock footage, clips, images, maps, and other assets * Motion graphics and animations * Sound design * Full video editing and storytelling The ideal editor understands pacing, visual storytelling, and knows how to keep viewers engaged throughout the video. Budget: Around $150 per video to start. As the channel grows and generates revenue, I’m happy to increase the budget for the right long-term partner. When applying, please include: * Examples of documentary-style videos you’ve edited (especially anything similar to Vox or Pezle) * Whether you can provide an AI voice-over * Your typical turnaround time * Your rate per video I’m looking for someone who wants to grow with the channel over the long term, not just edit a single project.
