YouTube Video Editor

🎬 Video Editor Needed — YouTube History & Archaeology Channel (Ongoing, Per Video) Hi! I run a YouTube channel called covering archaeology, ancient history, and unsolved historical mysteries. The channel produces cinematic, narration-driven videos in a dark atmospheric style. I'm looking for a reliable video editor for ongoing work on a per-video basis. --- 📦 WHAT YOU RECEIVE FROM ME FOR EACH VIDEO - Rough assembly is already ready: AI-generated images already synced to a professional voiceover, timed to the script (just drag-drop whole project into timeline) - The brand guide (colors, fonts, style) So the rough assembly of the video is already done. However, I need to add a "human touch" to the videos in order to avoid demonetization risk on youtube. Think: text overlays, fade to black (text only) chapter transitions, real images/video b-roll added into the edit here and there. We need to think about a standardized format that makes the edit feel "human" instead of fully AI generated. --- ✅ WHAT I NEED YOU TO ADD - Subtle motion on stills (Ken Burns effect — slow push in, pull out, gentle drift — no image should sit completely static) - Brand-consistent text overlays (key dates, locations, facts — short, clean, fading in and out — using channel fonts and gold color palette) - Smooth chapter transitions (fade to black between segments — clean and cinematic, not flashy) - Occasional real footage or archival photo inserts where relevant (Creative Commons sources — 2-3 seconds here and there to break up AI imagery and add credibility) - Final audio mix: voiceover at -12 to -14 LUFS, background audio ducked well below, export at -14 LUFS integrated loudness --- 🎨 THE VISUAL STYLE Dark, atmospheric, cinematic. The brand colors are deep black-brown and antique gold. Everything should feel restrained and serious — no flashy motion graphics, no bright colors, no trendy effects. Think prestige documentary, not social media content. Less is always more. If something feels like it belongs on a TikTok, it doesn't belong on this channel. --- 📋 THE TEST PROJECT Before committing to ongoing work I want to start with one test video. You'll receive a rough cut and return a finished edit applying everything listed above. Budget for test: €30 fixed price If the test goes well, this becomes ongoing work at the same rate — aiming for up to 3 videos per week as the channel scales. --- 💰 BUDGET & TIMELINE Rate: €30 per video Software: your choice — Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut all fine Turnaround: 24 hours per video once the rough cut is delivered --- Looking for someone reliable, quality-focused, and interested in building something long-term.
