Faceless YouTube Documentary Editor | Long-Form, Shorts & AI Visuals

739K+ and 290K+ view documentary edits. 26 completed projects, 100% Job Success, 5.0 rating. I'm a faceless YouTube documentary editor. You send the script and voiceover — I turn it into a long-form video that holds viewers to the end. Most documentary channels lose their audience in the same three places: the cold open takes too long to land the hook, the mid-section repeats visuals until attention drops, and the sound design never builds tension. I edit around those three failure points, not around making a video "look nice." WHAT I DELIVER - Long-form faceless documentaries (8-30 min) — history, geopolitics, economics, science, true crime - Hook and cold open restructuring for the first 30 seconds - Archival footage sourcing and AI-generated visuals where real footage doesn't exist - Motion graphics — maps, timelines, data animations, lower thirds - Sound design, music layering, and mix - Shorts and clips repurposed from your long-form uploads - Subtitles, captions, and on-screen text RECENT WORK - Geopolitics documentary — 739K+ views - Middle East conflict documentary — 290K+ views - Space and science documentary series - Faceless history channel — ongoing series - Economics and business breakdown channel — 4 repeat contracts HOW I WORK WITH CHANNELS Most of my clients work with me on a monthly basis rather than per video — usually 4 to 12 uploads a month. That keeps the pacing, sound, and visual language consistent across the channel instead of changing with every editor. I'm also happy to start with a single video so you can see the difference before committing to anything ongoing. TOOLS Adobe Premiere Pro · After Effects · Photoshop · AI video generation (Midjourney, Veo, Kling, Runway) 6+ years editing. Fluent English. 0-4 hour response time. Available 30+ hrs/week. If you're running a faceless documentary channel and want an editor who thinks about retention before aesthetics, send me your channel link and I'll tell you exactly what I'd change in your last upload.
