Historical Documentary Editing: full edit of one 10-15 minute video plus 2 Shorts, built from your script, voice-over and reference material, budget $30 confirmed. Delivery: rough cut with archival sourcing and placeholder music first, v1 within 4 days, then refined pass with motion graphics, maps, sound design, colour correction and captions, plus the 2 Shorts cut from the strongest segments, final files within 5 working days. Two decisions upfront: archival material will come from public-domain archives, newspaper scans and copyright-safe stock libraries only, cross-checked against your references so nothing is presented as real if it isn't. Captions will be styled clean and small, matched to the two reference videos' pacing rather than karaoke-style, to keep focus on the visuals. I do not promise instant same-day turnaround on revisions during high-footage-research episodes, that gets flagged in advance. Question to start: can you share the script, voice-over file and both reference links' exact segments you liked most, so v1 matches your pacing target from the first video. Price: 13500 INR fixed · Timeline: 5 working days from access/brief Konrad

Hi, I’m interested in working with you on this long-term documentary project. I can handle the complete editing process from the provided script and voice-over to the final YouTube video and Shorts. I can work on 10–15 minute documentary videos with a focus on strong visual storytelling, clean pacing, archival footage, historical photos/documents, maps, timelines, simple motion graphics, music, sound design, captions, audio mixing, and colour correction. I understand the style you’re looking for and, importantly, what you don’t want. I’ll avoid repetitive stock footage, unnecessary transitions, oversized captions, and fake historical visuals presented as real. I’ll focus on making the visuals support the story rather than simply filling the screen. I can also independently research and source relevant copyright-safe archival/stock material and create 2 Shorts from each long-form video. For the trial, I’m comfortable with the $30 budget for 1 long-form video + 2 Shorts, and I’m open to continuing long-term if the workflow is a good fit. Turnaround: I can typically deliver within 3–5 days, depending on the research and complexity of the episode. I’d be happy to share my relevant editing samples and explain exactly what I handled in each project. Looking forward to working with you. Best regards, Bardan

Hi, I’m interested in working with you on your long-term YouTube documentary project. I specialize in documentary-style video editing, where the main focus is strong visual storytelling, clean pacing, relevant visuals, music, sound design, and keeping the viewer engaged throughout the story. I understand that you will provide the final script, voice-over, references, and direction, while I will handle the complete editing process. I can work with historical images, documents, archival-style footage, stock footage, captions, music, sound effects, audio mixing, and color correction. I can also create Shorts from the long-form videos. I understand that you are looking for a cinematic documentary feel rather than a basic slideshow or an edit filled with unnecessary effects. I’ll focus on making the visuals support the narration and keeping the pacing natural and engaging. I have previous documentary-style editing work that I can share with you directly. I’d prefer to show you my actual work rather than make unrealistic claims based only on my profile. I’m comfortable with your $30 budget for 1 long-form video + 2 Shorts, and I’m also interested in the possibility of continuing long-term if the trial goes well. If you’re interested, please message me and I’ll send you my relevant documentary editing samples and explain exactly what I handled in each project. Thank you, Rifat Hasan
