YouTube Documentary Video Editor

I produce documentary-style YouTube content—distinct from the usual Vlogs, Tutorials, or Product Reviews—and I’m looking for a skilled editor who can shape raw footage into a compelling narrative while weaving in tasteful motion graphics.

You’ll receive multi-camera clips, a rough script, and style references. Your role is to assemble a clean, engaging edit and add graphics that support the story: an opening title, lower thirds, animated maps, or whatever best clarifies people, places, and timelines. Please work in Premiere Pro and After Effects (or compatible software) so I can keep project files for future updates.

Deliverables
• Final video ready for upload in 4K and 1080p
• All project files and linked assets
• Two revision rounds included

Acceptance criteria
• Graphics match the channel’s colour palette and typography (guidelines provided)
• Sound, colour, and pacing feel broadcast-ready
• No visible artefacts or abrupt cuts

If you’ve cut documentaries before, share a link or two and outline your workflow—especially how you handle motion graphics within tight turnarounds. I’m excited to see how you can elevate each episode and keep the audience immersed from first frame to last.
