Game lore YouTube video editor for hire
I’m Kevin Tabares, a long-form YouTube editor. I edit long-form gaming for 1.26M–2.29M-subscriber channels (Mud, Puff, Rex & Alexa) and can edit yours: $55–$150 per finished video depending on complexity; up to $300 for some long or complex edits. My closest work is narrated documentaries built from a script and voiceover; I haven’t edited game lore videos for a client yet, so start with a free 1-minute test.

Quick fit check: is this editor right for your channel?
- Video types
- Story explained videos of one game, complete timelines of a series, lore secrets and hidden details, “everything to know before” recaps for a new release, character and faction deep dives, series retrospectives split into eras
- Editing style
- What I would do for lore videos: the narration as the spine, every line shown with the scene that proves it, a timeline graphic that tells viewers where they are in the story, and quiet music that changes by chapter. Close to the narrated documentaries I edit from script and voiceover
- Video length
- Big lore channels upload long: Gaming Harry’s recent videos run 10 minutes to over 5 hours, Gingy’s 25 minutes to 4 hours 30, The Lorebrarians’ 16 minutes to 1 hour 30 (measured on Oct 18, 2026), so most land in the $300 package or get a custom quote. I also edit longer: 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
- Gameplay and voice recording, ready to edit, or long recordings that need trimming and story building. Separate mic tracks help.
- 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)

- First video in 1 to 5 days, then 1 to 2 days; revisions back within 24 hours
- Track record

- 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 game lore 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 and game lore, plainly
- Proven: My YT Jobs profile tracks 1,250+ videos and 147M+ views, with 20 client reviews averaging 9.8/10. I edit for Mud (1.26M subscribers), Puff (1.83M) and Rex & Alexa (2.29M); for Mud since March 2025, about 3 videos a week.
- Not proven yet: Video game lore itself: cutting together cutscenes from a whole series, matching story beats across several games, and the gameplay capture a lore channel needs. My narrated work so far is documentaries about real events, built from a script and a voiceover.
- How to check it before paying: The free 1-minute test edit on your own game lore footage, before you pay anything.
Why me
- Narrated long-form from a script and voiceover is part of my current work: documentaries for The Interpreter and The Spy Show.
- Very long uploads are familiar ground: Swaylemc’s Minecraft full movies run up to almost four hours.
What big lore channels upload in 2026
Measured on October 18, 2026, from the 12 most recent long videos of three lore channels: Gaming Harry, Gingy and The Lorebrarians. Three formats keep coming back:
- The story of one game explained from start to end: “CONTROL Resonant, Story Explained”, “The Complete Story of Silent Hill Townfall”.
- The whole series as one timeline, often updated when a new game comes out: “The ENTIRE Doom Story... So Far...”, a Resident Evil story retrospective split into three eras.
- Shorter lore pieces between the big ones: “7 Lore Secrets in Control Resonant”, “Control, Everything to Know Before Resonant”.
Gaming Harry’s run from 10 minutes to over 5 hours (half of them near an hour or longer), Gingy’s from 25 minutes to 4 hours 30, and The Lorebrarians’ from 16 minutes to 1 hour 30. New releases drive the calendar: several channels covered the same game within weeks of its launch.
How I would edit your game lore videos
No lore channel has sent me footage yet, so read this as my plan for your video. Each point comes from work I already do: narrated documentaries for The Interpreter and The Spy Show, and Swaylemc’s Minecraft full movies.
A timeline viewers can always find
Lore jumps between eras, games and characters. I would build one simple timeline graphic and bring it back each time the story moves, with the game and the year on screen, so a viewer who joined at minute 40 still knows where they are.
Every line shown with its proof
When you say a character betrayed the order, the viewer should see it. I would match each line of your script with the cutscene, item description or environment detail that backs it, and hold text on screen long enough to read. It is how I cut the documentaries I edit from a script: no claim without a picture.
Cutscenes trimmed to the story beat
A raw cutscene carries walking, loading and menus. I would cut each one to the moment that matters for your point, keep the in-game dialogue under your voice only when it is the evidence, and hide the HUD where it distracts.
Theories marked as theories
Lore channels mix what the game confirms with what the creator thinks. I would give the two a different look (a small label or a color), so viewers trust the facts and still enjoy the speculation.
Music by chapter, quiet under the voice
A lore video is a long listen. I would score each chapter on its own, keep the music well under the narration, change it on a cut and never in the middle of a sentence, and level the loudness so the video sounds the same at minute 5 and at minute 90.
Chapters for a long upload
For videos of an hour or more I would add YouTube chapters at each era or game, plus a short recap card when the story returns to an earlier thread. Long uploads are familiar ground: Swaylemc’s Minecraft full movies run up to almost four hours.
Closest real examples of my gaming work
Narrated and long-form work I edited, chosen because its format sits closest to a lore video: documentaries built from a script and voiceover for The Interpreter and The Spy Show, and Swaylemc’s Minecraft full movies. Watch the first minute of the one closest to your format.
None of these is game lore. Views from the YouTube Data API on Oct 13, 2026; links open the video on YouTube.

FAQ
Have you edited game lore videos before?
No, I haven’t edited game lore videos for a client yet. I have edited narrated documentaries from a script and voiceover for The Interpreter and The Spy Show, and Swaylemc’s Minecraft full movies, all on my YT Jobs profile. To see my cut on your own lore script before you pay, ask for the free 1-minute test edit.
Can you edit my game lore videos?
Yes. Send your script and voiceover (or a recorded draft), plus the gameplay and cutscenes you have captured, and I edit one minute of it for free, so you can judge the cut before paying. I edit long-form videos, from 10 minutes to several hours, and cut Shorts from them if you want them.
Can you edit a lore video longer than an hour?
Yes. Videos over 35 minutes get a custom quote. I would split it into chapters by era or game, keep the narration on top and level the loudness across the whole video. The longest videos in my portfolio are Swaylemc’s Minecraft full movies, up to almost four hours.
Do you capture the gameplay and cutscenes too?
I work from the footage you send. If you only have part of it, tell me which scenes you need and I will list exactly what is missing for each chapter before I start, so nothing is found out at the end.
Is this different from a video essay?
Yes. A lore video retells a story in order; a video essay argues one idea. My video essay page covers that format.
How much does a game lore YouTube editor 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.
