YouTube Video Editor for Business Documentary
Project Description:
I am launching a new YouTube channel focused on the spectacular downfalls, scams, and billion-dollar collapses of tech startups.
I already have the complete, data-heavy script (1,750–2,000 words) and I need an elite YouTube video editor who understands high-retention mechanics, pacing, and visual storytelling to bring this audio to life.
What You Will Do:
Visual Sourcing: Find and integrate archival news clips of Adam Neumann, SoftBank, and WeWork offices, blending them seamlessly with high-quality stock footage.
Data Visualization: The script is packed with hard financial numbers (valuations, cash burn rates, losses). You must create clean, visually engaging on-screen graphics, charts, and text animations to highlight these metrics.
Relentless Pacing (The "Never Static" Rule): Apply constant, subtle motion (slow zooms, pans) to every clip. Visuals should change every 3 to 5 seconds to match the micro-loops in the script.
Heavy Sound Design: Audio is 50% of the experience. You must add risers, sub-bass rumbles for tension, impact hits for financial reveals, whooshes for transitions, and appropriate documentary-style background music.
Requirements:
You must understand the YouTube algorithm, specifically how visual pacing impacts Average View Duration (AVD).
Expertise in Premiere Pro, After Effects, or CapCut Desktop.
Proven experience editing highly engaging, documentary-style YouTube videos (please do not apply if you only edit gaming highlights or talking-head vlogs).
To Apply, Please Include:
Links to 2-3 videos you have edited in this exact documentary/business breakdown style.
The word "ILLUSION" at the very top of your proposal so I know you read this brief.
Your rate for a 10-12 minute video.
Note: This is for the first video, but I have a roadmap of 10 videos scheduled (one every two weeks). If this project hits the retention targets, this will become a long-term, ongoing contract.
Skills Required:
Video Editing, After Effects, Motion Graphics, Sound Design, YouTube Strategy
