Video editing for a faceless youtube channel
We are looking for a reliable and detail-oriented video editor to create short informative videos for our growing Amish lifestyle channel. The videos follow a very specific style, and it is essential that you can accurately replicate the editing style, pacing, and on-screen presentation of the reference video we provide. Clear guidelines and examples will be given to ensure consistency.
We want THIS EXACT style — please study the reference video carefully before applying:

This includes matching the same on-screen face talking to camera (talking-head presenter) exactly as shown in the reference video — the presenter speaks directly to camera in medium shots, and their voice also narrates over relevant b-roll. We need this same on-screen presenter integration in every video.
Our content focuses on Amish-themed home, health, and money-saving tip videos such as:
"11 Amish Fixes For A Deadly Hot House — All Under $10"
"8 Ways The AMISH KILL EVERY Mosquito — The $1 Bottle Exterminators Hide"
Style notes to match (from the reference video):
Calm, deliberate, steady pacing — never rushed Talking-head presenter on camera, alternating with narrated b-roll Clean cuts, occasional split-screens for contrast (modern vs. Amish), smooth cross-dissolves Extensive high-quality b-roll of Amish farm life, houses, attics, tools, etc. Warm, natural, rustic color grading; sepia/black-and-white for historical or "old ways" moments Soft acoustic folk background music with subtle ambient sound design (birds, wind, etc.) Hook → promise → countdown/list structure that keeps viewers watching to the end
Responsibilities:
Edit a minimum of 4 videos per week (ideally up to 7) Follow our visual style and storytelling format exactly as shown in the reference Deliver consistent, high-quality edits on time Communicate effectively and be open to feedback and adjustments
Requirements:
Experience with long-form video editing Basic motion graphics skills are a plus Ability to work independently and meet deadlines Understanding of engaging, calm-yet-retentive editing for list-style and educational videos
Compensation:
$1 per minute Performance bonus: If our channel reaches 1M+ monthly views, additional pay will be offered Multiple upcoming projects may lead to more work and long-term collaboration for successful editors
