Engineering and megaproject video editor for hire
I’m Kevin Tabares, a long-form YouTube editor: you send the script and voiceover, I edit and find archive, licensed stock, maps and graphics. My closest work is the diagrams of The Interpreter’s Tenerife documentary; I haven’t edited engineering videos for a client yet, so start with a free 1-minute test. $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits.
Free 1-minute test edit · From $55 per video · No contract · Revisions back within 24 h
9.8/10 average: 20 YT Jobs reviews from 19 client channels, 17 of them a perfect 10/10
Quick fit check: is this editor right for your channel?
- Video types
- Megaprojects and how they were built, how things work, engineering failures and what went wrong, bridges, tunnels, dams and skyscrapers, ships, planes and trains explained
- Editing style
- What I would do in an engineering video: a simple diagram whenever the voice explains a mechanism, scale against something familiar, the build shown in order with dates on cards, and real footage of the structure whenever it exists. Close to the diagrams of the Tenerife documentary I delivered
- Video length
- I edit from 8-minute videos to feature-length. Up to 20 minutes is the $150 package and up to 35 minutes the $300 one; longer videos get a custom quote. The Spy Show’s Eli Cohen episode runs 21 minutes and The Interpreter’s Tenerife documentary 13; Swaylemc’s full movies on my YT Jobs profile run 60 to 234 minutes.
- Upload schedule
- One video only, 1 video per week, 2–3 videos per week, 4 videos per month or several a week (Mud: about 3 a week). Start with one pilot: the free 1-minute test edit.
- Format
- Long-form YouTube videos are the core. YouTube Shorts cut from each long video on request.
- What you send me
- A finished script and narration (script and voiceover). I edit and find the visuals: archive footage, licensed stock, maps, timelines and graphics.
- Estimated price
- About $55 to $150 per finished video (up to $300 for some long or complex edits), depending on length, raw footage and effects. That fits the ‘$50+’ and ‘$100–$300 per video’ boxes for most long videos. Four videos a month: about $220 to $600 (more for long or complex videos); a $500 a month budget usually covers two to four long videos, depending on length. Exact quote within 24 hours, after a free 1-minute test edit.
- Channel size
- From under 1K subscribers (Mr. Marticson, 834) and small to mid-size channels (ThatNoob 4.9K, Crazz 10.7K, DakBlox 82.6K: 0 to 2M+ views in six months) up to 2M+ (Rex 2.29M, Puff 1.83M, Mud 1.26M)
- Turnaround
- First video in 1 to 5 days, then 1 to 2 days; revisions back within 24 hours
- Track record
- Proven YouTube results: 1,277 videos tracked on YT Jobs and 20 reviews from 19 client channels, 17 of them 10/10. Long-term work: Mud since March 2025, about 3 videos a week.
- Who you work with
- Kevin Tabares, directly. I review every video before it reaches you.
- Channel language
- English or Spanish
- Terms
- Paid in USD by PayPal or USDC. No contract, no minimum.
- Closest proof
- I haven’t edited engineering videos for a client yet. Closest long-form work: “The Tenerife Disaster: The Deadliest Crash in Aviation History” on The Interpreter (78K subscribers), 7.7K views; “Eli Cohen: Mossad’s Greatest Spy | True Life Spy Stories” on The Spy Show (832 subscribers), 90 views
My experience with engineering videos, plainly
- Proven: My YT Jobs profile tracks 1,277+ videos and 152M+ views, with 20 client reviews averaging 9.8/10. My narrated documentary work: I edit The Spy Show, a spy-history series by Vincent Meijer, and I delivered The Interpreter’s documentary on the Tenerife air disaster (78K subscribers).
- Not proven yet: Engineering videos for a client, and full 3D animation of machines. My diagram work so far is in narrated documentaries.
- How to check it before paying: The free 1-minute test edit on your own script and voiceover, before you pay anything.
How I would edit your engineering videos
I haven’t edited an engineering channel yet, so this is my plan for your script, built on the diagrams and the step-by-step structure of the Tenerife documentary.
A diagram for every mechanism
When the voice explains how something works, a simple 2D diagram shows it at that moment: the parts, the force, the movement. One style for the whole channel.
Scale against something familiar
A structure is only impressive next to something the viewer knows: a person, a bus, a football field. A quick comparison graphic does it in a second.
The build in order
Planning, construction and opening, with the year on screen at each stage, so the viewer always knows where they are in the story.
Real footage when it exists
Construction footage, archive photos and licensed shots of the real structure come first; the diagram explains, the footage proves.
Failures told step by step
When the video is about what went wrong, each step of the chain gets its own moment on screen, the way the Tenerife documentary follows one sequence of events from the cockpits, the passengers and the tower.
Closest real examples of my work
Two narrated documentaries I worked on, chosen because an engineering video needs the same two things: clear diagrams and a story told in order.
These are not engineering videos, but the closest work I’ve edited. Views from the YouTube Data API on Oct 13, 2026; links open the video on YouTube.
- The Tenerife Disaster: The Deadliest Crash in Aviation History · The Interpreter (78K subscribers) · 7,687 views · 13 min · Aug 13, 2026
Why it's close: A disaster explained step by step, with diagrams, quote cards and slow moves on photos: the closest format to an engineering failure video. - Eli Cohen: Mossad’s Greatest Spy | True Life Spy Stories · The Spy Show (832 subscribers) · 90 views · 21 min · Sep 24, 2026
Why it's close: A spy-history episode built from a script and a voiceover: archive, maps and text cards for a story that mostly happened in secret.

FAQ
Have you edited engineering videos before?
No, I haven’t edited engineering videos for a client yet. My narrated documentary work is The Spy Show, a spy-history series by Vincent Meijer that I edit, and the documentary on the Tenerife air disaster I delivered for The Interpreter, both on my YT Jobs profile. The free 1-minute test edit on your own script and voiceover is how you judge my cut before paying anything.
Can you edit my engineering videos?
Yes. Send your script, the voiceover and any images you already have, and I edit one minute for free. I find the rest of the visuals (archive, licensed stock, maps, timelines, text cards) and cut Shorts from the long video if you want them.
Do you make 3D animations?
Not complex ones: my diagrams are 2D (arrows, highlighted parts, scale comparisons). If your format needs 3D models, tell me and I will say honestly what I can do.
Where does the construction footage come from?
Public archives, licensed stock and press material, checked on their source page. When nothing exists, a diagram or a photo with a slow move.
How much does a YouTube editor for engineering videos cost?
My price is $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. By finished length: up to 10 minutes $55, up to 20 minutes $150, up to 35 minutes $300; longer videos get a custom quote. No contract and no minimum.
Send me your script
