About

’m building a new faceless YouTube channel, focused on nostalgic car content (dangerous features, failed models, old gadgets, road trips, forgotten brands, etc.). I’m looking for a YouTube video editor to help me turn research + script into engaging 25–30 minute videos, 3–4 times per week. What the job looks like Long-form faceless videos (no host on camera) Topic examples: “20 DANGEROUS Car Features From The 1970s That Are Now BANNED” “25 Car Gadgets From The 1990s, Once Necessary, NOW Completely USELESS” “You Might Be Old… If You Remember These 20 Things In 1980s Cars” Style: documentary / list video with narration + b-roll, similar to America Before, A Bíblia Detalhada, etc. Style: documentary / list video with narration + b-roll, similar to channels like: America Before – https://www.youtube.com/@AmericaBefor I provide: video topic + angle script (and usually voiceover) You handle: editing the full video (25–30 min) selecting / syncing b-roll (stock footage, photos, archive clips and, when allowed, short segments from other YouTube videos) basic motion graphics (titles, lower thirds, simple on-screen text) music & sound design (royalty-free) exporting ready-to-upload file for YouTube (1080p) Important about b-roll sources & copyright Approx. 70% of the b-roll can come from other YouTube videos, and around 30% from external / stock platforms (Pexels, Storyblocks, etc.). When using clips from other videos, they must be: short segments (up to ~10 seconds from any single YouTube video and up to ~5 seconds from each external clip), combined, recut, overlaid with narration, text, zooms, cropping, etc., so the final result is transformative. You must have a basic understanding of YouTube copyright rules and policies (Content ID, strikes, fair use, reuse of other videos, etc.). Preference for editors who already work with: royalty-free / stock footage, Creative Commons / allowed content, and know what types of reuse are more likely to be flagged or receive strikes. I’m not looking for simple re-uploads; the final edit must clearly be a new, original, transformative video. Scope & timeline Test phase: 1–3 months Around 15–20 videos in this first contract Publishing 3–4 videos per week If we’re a good fit, this can turn into a long-term, ongoing collaborationWhat the job looks like Long-form faceless videos (no host on camera) Topic examples: “20 DANGEROUS Car Features From The 1970s That Are Now BANNED” “25 Car Gadgets From The 1990s, Once Necessary, NOW Completely USELESS” “You Might Be Old… If You Remember These 20 Things In 1980s Cars” Style: documentary / list video with narration + b-roll, similar to America Before, A Bíblia Detalhada, etc. I provide: video topic + angle script (and usually voiceover) You handle: editing the full video (20–30 min) selecting / syncing b-roll (stock footage, photos, archive clips and, when allowed, short segments from other YouTube videos) basic motion graphics (titles, lower thirds, simple on-screen text) music & sound design (royalty-free) exporting ready-to-upload file for YouTube (1080p) Important about b-roll sources & copyright Approx. 70% of the b-roll can come from other YouTube videos, and around 30% from external / stock platforms (Pexels, Storyblocks, etc.).
