Permanent YouTube Shorts Editor with AI Knowledge

Job ID: 40573423

Budget: £10 – £40 GBP

Long-Term Video Editor & AI Filmmaker for High-End YouTube Shorts (Your Time Traveller's Guide)

I am looking for one exceptional editor / AI filmmaker to become the long-term creative partner for a new YouTube channel.

This is not a one-off project.

The goal is to build one of the highest-quality AI-assisted history channels on YouTube.

If the quality and reliability are right, there will be continuous work.

Before you apply

Please only apply if you can genuinely meet the following standards.

If you cannot, please do not put yourself forward.

I need someone who can consistently deliver premium work, quickly, and on schedule.

Unfortunately, I have already lost time working with people who over-promise, miss deadlines, disappear for days, or spend more time talking than creating.

That will not work on this project.

This channel will move quickly.

I need someone who enjoys that pace.

Delivery expectations

Each episode will typically be:

35–50 seconds
Vertical (9:16)
Cinematic
AI-assisted
Documentary style
High-retention storytelling

A normal workflow should be:

Brief received
First rough cut within 24 hours
Feedback returned
Revised version within 24 hours
Final approval

Days.

Not weeks.

If you cannot consistently turn around a 40–50 second short within 24 hours, please do not apply.

Quality expectations

This is not generic AI content.

The videos must feel like premium cinematic documentaries.

Everything should feel intentional.

Strong storytelling.

Excellent pacing.

Natural camera movement.

Professional sound design.

Clean typography.

Proper colour grading.

Excellent retention.

No AI clichés.

No obvious AI mistakes.

No generic stock-looking output.

The final result should feel like something Netflix or a major documentary studio could have produced for short-form.

Creative workflow

I will provide one reference video.

Once you understand the channel style, I want you to own the creative execution.

Rather than me sending individual prompts for every shot, I want you to:

build the storyboard
generate the scenes
edit the episode
create the sound design
produce captions
deliver the finished master

I want someone who enjoys taking ownership rather than waiting for instructions every few hours.

Current project

The channel is called:

Your Time Traveller's Guide

The concept:

A modern traveller visits real moments throughout history and the future using a phone camera.

The videos feel like genuine documentary footage from impossible places.

Examples include:

London, 1666
New York, 2100
Pompeii, AD 79
Tudor England
Ancient Egypt
Medieval Europe
Ancient Rome

Each episode combines:

historical accuracy
cinematic storytelling
humour
suspense
premium visuals
modern documentary pacing
Skills required

Ideally you already have experience with tools such as:

ElevenLabs
FrameLoop AI
Midjourney
Runway
Veo
Kling
Luma
Topaz
DaVinci Resolve
Premiere Pro
After Effects

You do not need every tool.

You do need to know how to combine AI generation with professional editing.

Communication

I value clear communication.

If something will be late, tell me immediately.

If something can be improved, suggest it.

If you have a better creative solution than mine, I want to hear it.

I do not want constant status updates.

I want finished work.

What success looks like

The right person will become the dedicated editor for the entire channel.

We will produce multiple Shorts every week and, over time, expand into longer-form content.

This is intended to be a long-term partnership, not a freelance task that ends after one video.

To apply

Please send:

Three examples of your very best cinematic short-form work.
Examples of AI-generated video you have personally created.
Your editing software and AI workflow.
Confirmation that you can consistently deliver a first cut within 24 hours.
Confirmation that revisions can normally be completed within 24 hours.
Your timezone.
Your availability over the next 30 days.
Your rate per finished Short.

If your application is generic, copied, or clearly written without reading this brief, it will be ignored.

I am looking for someone who wants to build something exceptional, move quickly, and consistently deliver work to a very high standard
