Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

I’m starting a faceless YouTube channel focused on the rise and fall of companies, websites, products and internet culture. I’m looking for one reliable editor who can take a script and turn them into an engaging, polished YouTube video. The style should be fast-paced and visually interesting, with a strong focus on viewer retention. ## What you’ll handle - Edit approximately 7–10 minutes of faceless YouTube content - Source relevant stock footage, archival clips, screenshots and images - Use simple motion graphics, typography and visual effects where they improve the story - Add background music, sound effects and basic audio mixing - Create a matching thumbnail - Maintain quick pacing without making the video feel chaotic - Deliver a finished video ready to upload to YouTube - Make reasonable revisions based on feedback The ideal balance is a mixture of footage, screenshots, graphics and text—not a video made almost entirely from generic stock footage. ## What I’m looking for - A good understanding of YouTube pacing and audience retention - Someone who can edit Magnates Media style preferably not exactly like him, but near his style. - Experience editing faceless videos, documentaries, explainers or video essays - The ability to source appropriate visual material independently - Clear communication and reliable turnaround times - Someone interested in ongoing work rather than only a one-off project ## How to apply Please include: 1. Links to your most relevant work—full videos are preferred 2. A short explanation of which parts of the production workflow you can handle 3. Your editing software 4. Your expected turnaround time for a 7–10 minute video Please begin your application with the word “Lanyard” so I know you’ve read the full post.
