Job Title
Video Editor for Documentary-Style Crime Storytelling (YouTube)

Job Description
I’m looking for a reliable video editor to help with documentary-style crime storytelling videos for YouTube.

This is not fast-paced social media editing.
The style is calm, structured, and documentary-focused.

What the role involves
• Editing long-form YouTube videos (approximately 15 to 20 minutes)
• Assembling visuals to match a provided narration or structure
• Following very specific instructions and repeatable workflows

Editing expectations
These videos must show clear human editing effort and intentional visual design, such as:
• captions or on-screen text
• light sound effects where appropriate
• basic text or profile animations for names, ages, and case details

This is clean, documentary-style editing, not flashy or over-edited content.

Tools and software
Experience with the following is a plus:
• ElevenLabs
• Nano Banana Pro
• VEO 3.1

Please let me know:
• which of these tools you have used before
• whether you currently have access

If you do not have access, that is okay. We can discuss this during a trial.

Pay and trial
• $3 per hour
• Paid test run required before long-term work
• Trial is paid at the same hourly rate

Who this is for
This role is a good fit if you:
• follow instructions carefully
• are comfortable learning new tools
• prefer structured, documentary-style editing
• are looking for consistent, long-term work

How to apply
Please include:
• a short description of your video editing experience
• sample video work so I can review your editing style and level of effort
• any experience you have with the tools listed above

Contact information
• Please include your preferred contact information (email or other)
• Telegram is required for daily communication and updates
• If you do not have Telegram, please create one
• Include your Telegram username in your application
