https://www.youtube.com/@PirateTimesOnTV
Scope (per video)"
Script: 3,000–4,000 words (hook, clear sections, sourced facts with short source list).
Voiceover: clean, even pacing (human or licensed AI/TTS).
Visuals: stock footage/images that match narration; slow pans/zooms;
Music: 1–2 royalty-safe tracks, mixed under VO.
Text on screen
Captions: auto SRT is fine
Metadata: 2–3 title options, 200–300 word description, 8–12 tags.
Export: 1080p MP4, 22–30 min, H.264.
Revisions: 1 round (minor fixes if needed)
Workflow:
I provide title + angle + reference examples.
You submit outline + 30-second hook for approval.
Full script → short VO sample → rough cut → final cut + thumbnails → metadata package.
Volume, timing, budget:
Paid trial: 1 video to align on style.
Then 35–45 videos in 2 months (~4–6/week).
Length: 22–30 minutes.
Rate: $40. Performance bonuses possible.
Nice to have:
Simple motion graphics (maps, timelines).
Thumbnail design experience in educational/history niches.
Comfort with analytics (audience retention, A/B testing).
How to apply:
2 links to similar 20–30 min educational/history videos you scripted/edited.
3 thumbnails you designed
Confirm you can deliver B-roll/images + 1–2 tracks
Your turnaround time for the first video + weekly capacity.
Stock/music libraries you use and how you ensure licensing.
We’ll start with one paid test video at $40 to dial in scripting cadence, edit pacing, and thumbnail style. If we hit the look/feel we want and the video meets quality standards (clean VO, tight cuts, clear visuals) and performs well (solid retention/CTR), I can raise the rate to $50 per video for ongoing work in the future.
