Youtube Video Editor for Faceless History Channel (Documentary Style)
Worldwide
# Video Editor — Historical Documentary Channel **[IMPORTANT] Start your proposal with the word "HISTORY" so I know you read this. Proposals without it are deleted unread.** ## The Work Historical documentary videos, 20–25 minutes each. Ongoing, weekly. You get a full script and a finished high-quality voiceover. You source the visuals and build the edit around the narration. **Rate:** $25 per video. ## Style https://www.youtube.com/@AmericanSecrets-hxdk Target video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6fcaUdoMvs You must be able to reproduce this. Watch the first 3 minutes before applying. ## What that means specifically **Color** — ~65-70% of screen time is in color. B&W is an accent, never the base, never longer than ~20s unbroken. Archival B&W gets a warm sepia duotone, not flat gray. **Pacing** — 3-5 second average shot. Nothing holds past 12s unless text is animating on it. Cuts speed up at reveals. **Transitions** — hard cut by default (~70%). Dissolves for time jumps only. Glitch transitions capped at ~6 per video. **Motion graphics you build yourself** — chapter cards, animated timelines, pull-quote cards with keywords highlighted in yellow/orange/red, circle callouts on people inside crowded photos, lower thirds and date stamps. **Movement** — Ken Burns on every still, 2.5D parallax on key images (subject masked onto its own layer), punch-ins on beat. **Finish** — film grain, vignette, light leaks on archival. Blurred background fill for off-ratio images; never force-crop a 4:3 photo and cut off heads. **Audio** — music drops to silence before key lines. Foley layered under the music: shutters, crowd murmur, room tone. A visual re-hook every 30-60 seconds. ## Requirements - After Effects or equivalent. This is not template work. - Footage from Pexels, Pixabay, public domain, or your own library. - **No reused content.** Nothing lifted from other YouTubers. You know YouTube's copyright policy. - **No fully AI-generated visuals.** - Fast response during our working hours. - Delivery: 1920×1080 plus project file. ## In your proposal 1. Start with **HISTORY**. 2. Link samples of your own work. 3. How many days for one 20-25 minute video? ## Checklist 1. Samples of previous work included? 2. Over 90% job success?
