If you're building a YouTube channel, faceless, brand-based, or personality-led, and you need someone who understands the entire content pipeline, not just how to trim clips, you're in the right place.
With over 5 years of experience and having worked on 50+ YouTube channels, I specialize in end-to-end YouTube video production: scriptwriting, AI voiceover direction, editing, thumbnail design, and YouTube SEO. Most editors on this platform can cut a timeline. Fewer can write a script that hooks a viewer in the first 15 seconds, direct an AI voiceover so it sounds natural instead of robotic, and structure the edit and metadata so the video actually gets discovered.
Two examples show the range of that process. On a faceless health and wellness channel, I write the scripts, direct ElevenLabs AI voiceover generation, including voice selection, pacing, stability, and style settings tuned for a documentary tone, and oversee the CapCut edit from raw voiceover to finished video. This has included rebuilding hook structures after early videos showed viewer drop-off in the first 30 seconds, which measurably improved retention on later uploads. On a business and brand documentary channel with 75+ published videos, I handle full-cycle production: 13 to 16 minute documentary-style scripts, editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, motion graphics and title animations in Adobe After Effects, and complete SEO packages, including titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, pinned comments, and chapter timestamps for every upload.
That same process, script, voice, edit, optimize, is what I've repeated across the other channels I've worked with, switching between CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects depending on the project. I also adapt to whatever workflow the client already has in place. If you have your own file structure, naming conventions, or brand guidelines, I'll work within them rather than asking you to adjust to mine.
Here is where I can help you. Faceless YouTube channel setup and automation, covering script, voice, edit, thumbnail, and upload-ready package. Scriptwriting for explainer videos, documentary-style content, and short-form hooks for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. AI voiceover production using ElevenLabs, including voice selection and pacing for a natural, non-robotic result. Video editing in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects for both long-form and short-form content, including pacing, sound design, motion graphics, and visual pacing that matches the script's rhythm. YouTube SEO and channel optimization, including keyword-researched titles and descriptions, thumbnail strategy, and metadata built to be found by search and recommended by the algorithm. AI-assisted content production more broadly, including AI-generated voiceover, AI video, and AI image generation workflows.
I treat every project as a system, not a one-off task. I think about how the hook needs to perform, how the pacing of the edit will support retention, and how the title and thumbnail will work together to earn the click. I track what's actually working, including retention patterns and drop-off points, and I adjust based on that data rather than guessing.
I'm detail-oriented, solution-oriented, and accountable for outcomes. If I take on a video, I treat its performance as my responsibility, not just the delivery of a file. I'm a clear communicator, so you'll know where a project stands without having to chase me for updates.
Outside of Upwork, I've built an audience of over 40,000 followers on TikTok, which has given me first-hand insight into what actually stops a viewer from scrolling and what keeps them watching, insight I apply directly to the scripts, hooks, and edits I produce for clients.
You're not hiring someone to fill a single narrow task. You're hiring someone who can take a channel, or a single video, from concept to a fully optimized, published, discoverable piece of content. Whether you need one video edited well or a repeatable system for a faceless channel that runs every week, I'm set up to deliver both the craft and the strategy behind it.
Send me a message with what you're working on, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit, and if I am, exactly how I'd approach it.

I once worked with a creator who was posting reels consistently on TikTok, Youtube and Instagram, but the videos barely crossed a few hundred views. The issue wasn’t the idea… it was the execution. The pacing felt slow, the hooks weren’t strong enough, captions weren’t optimized, and the overall video editing didn’t match how short-form video actually performs today.
We reworked everything from the first 3 seconds (hooks), to clean captions, tighter cuts, better pacing, and strategic use of b-roll, sound effects, and transitions. Within weeks, their short-form video content started holding attention, increasing engagement, and performing the way it should.

Your video content should stop the scroll, hold attention, and turn viewers into buyers. If it's not doing that, the problem usually isn't effort, it's execution.
What if every video you put out looked expensive, felt authentic, and was built specifically to convert on the platform it's posted to, without the cost, time, or hassle of a full production crew?
That's not a stretch. It's what AI-powered video production makes possible right now.
And building that for brands is what I do.
Video consistently outperforms static content for engagement and conversions, but only when it's made with intent: the right hook, the right pacing, the right platform specs. Most AI-generated video fails because it stops at "generated." Mine doesn't.
I'm Daniel, an AI Video Creator and Video Editor specializing in AI-generated video production using Veo 3, Sora 2, Kling, Runway, and Seedance. I combine AI generation with professional editing to create authentic, high-converting video content for today's fastest-growing platforms, whether that's one high-impact video or an entire library built for testing and scaling.
WHAT I DO AND WHO I DO IT FOR :
Whether you need a single video or a full content library, here's what I bring:
✔ AI VIDEO CREATION & GENERATION
I generate cinematic, realistic AI video from scripts, images, or concepts using Veo 3, Sora 2, Kling, Runway, and Seedance, then take it through professional editing so it feels authentic rather than "AI-made."
✔ AI UGC & AVATAR VIDEOS
AI spokesperson and talking-head videos, AI voiceovers, and UGC-style content that builds trust the way real creator content does, without needing an actual filming crew.
✔ PRODUCT & ADVERTISING VIDEOS
Product demos, product showcases, testimonial videos, and video ads built with strong hooks, clean storytelling, and clear calls-to-action that move viewers to act.
✔ BRAND & PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS
Brand story videos, product launch videos, and promotional content that communicate value fast and keep your brand presentation consistent across every piece.
✔ SHORT-FORM & SOCIAL VIDEO EDITING
Faceless video production, short-form editing, motion graphics, animated captions, and multiple ad variations for A/B testing, all with smooth transitions and professional sound design.
WHO I WORK BEST WITH :
✔ E-commerce and DTC brands that need scroll-stopping ad content
✔ Coaches, course creators, and personal brands building trust through video
✔ SaaS and tech companies that need explainer or demo videos that convert
✔ Agencies and marketers who need a reliable video partner to scale creative output
✔ Businesses launching products or running paid social that need multiple ad variations fast
WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME :
✅ High-converting AI video ads, not just AI-generated clips
✅ Professional editing on top of every AI-generated piece: hooks, pacing, sound design, captions
✅ Authentic AI UGC that doesn't feel synthetic
✅ Fast turnaround without cutting corners on quality
✅ Platform-optimized delivery: correct aspect ratios, resolutions, and formats every time
✅ Multiple ad variations built in for A/B testing
✅ Scalable creative workflows for brands that need volume, not just one-offs
PLATFORMS I OPTIMIZE FOR :
📱 TikTok
📷 Instagram & Instagram Reels
📘 Facebook Ads & Meta Ads
▶️ YouTube Shorts & YouTube Ads
📊 Social Media Advertising (all formats)
TOOLS I USE DAILY :
AI Video Generation: Veo 3 · Sora 2 · Kling · Runway · Seedance · Higgsfield AI · Pika
AI Avatars & Voice: HeyGen · Synthesia · ElevenLabs
AI Imagery: Midjourney
Editing & Post-Production: CapCut · Adobe Premiere Pro · Adobe After Effects · DaVinci Resolve · Canva
READY TO WORK TOGETHER?
Whether you're launching a product, scaling ad creative, or building brand awareness, send me your project, idea, or script and I'll tell you exactly what I'd create first.
