Hiring: Mechanical Explainer Video Editor (How Things Really Work Style)

We're building a YouTube channel that explains how machines, vehicles, and industrial systems really work — from jet engines to tower cranes to garbage trucks.

We need an editor who knows how to:

- Research and source stock footage of machines, vehicles, and industrial systems independently
- Cut and combine footage into a clean, flowing narrative
- Add motion graphics: arrows, labels, and technical diagrams directly onto footage
- Create cutaway / X-ray overlay effects that show what's happening inside a machine
- Build smooth, retention-optimized pacing (no dead ---------- nts)
- Add immersive sound design for machines and mechanical systems
- Make complex systems feel visually simple and satisfying

You will receive:
- A finished script
- A voiceover file
- The topic & visual direction

Everything else — finding the right footage, building the visuals, assembling the video — is your responsibility.

?? Workload: Minimum 1 video per week. Consistent delivery is required.

The goal is simple: The video should NOT feel like raw clips slapped together.

We're aiming for documentary-quality explainer content — clean, professional, and visually satisfying. Think Discovery Channel meets modern YouTube packaging.

???? Budget: $50–70 per video (8–12 min). Long-term collaboration possible.

If you:

? Have experience editing factual / educational / explainer content

? Know how to source stock footage independently

? Can add motion graphics and cutaway diagrams

? Can deliver minimum 1 video per week reliably

? Can show past work in a similar style

D ---------- with your portfolio.

Serious editors only — quality and attention to mechanical detail matters more than speed.
