Top 10 list YouTube 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. I edited a full worst-to-best ranking and I edit narrated documentaries; I haven’t edited top 10 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
- Narrated top 10s, worst-to-best rankings, “the most...” places and things, countdowns of stories, long compilations of mysteries or horror
- Editing style
- What I would do in a top 10: a thread that ties the entries together, a visible counter, the same loudness and color across different sources, and chapters for each entry. Close to the worst-to-best ranking I edited on BaconsOwnTheUniverse’s channel
- 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.

My experience with top 10 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).

- 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 top 10 videos
I haven’t edited a top 10 channel yet, so this is my plan, based on the ranking I edited on BaconsOwnTheUniverse’s channel and the documentaries I edit for The Spy Show.
A thread that ties the entries together
A top 10 is not a loose list: the voice and one style of text cards turn ten stories or ten places into one video with a beginning and an ending.
Counter and chapter cards
The number or the title of each entry on screen tells viewers how much is left and gives them a reason to stay to number one. With YouTube chapters, anyone can jump to any entry.
Different sources, one look
The images come from different places and each has its own loudness and color. I match them so the video sounds and looks like one piece.
Reused footage with care
YouTube is strict with reused content that adds nothing of its own. The narration, the order and the edit are what make a list yours; I flag any stretch that leans too much on someone else’s footage.
A steady pace that does not tire
In a long video, each entry lasts what its story needs, with a breath between blocks.
Closest real examples of my work
Two videos I edited, chosen for their format: the structure of a ranking and a long narration driven by the voice.
These are not top 10 videos, but the closest work I’ve edited. Views from the YouTube Data API on Oct 13, 2026; links open the video on YouTube.

FAQ
Have you edited top 10 videos before?
No, I haven’t edited top 10 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 top 10 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 edit hour-long compilations?
Yes. Videos over 35 minutes get a custom quote. I put a card on every entry, YouTube chapters and the same loudness from start to end.
Can a compilation of other people’s footage be monetized?
It depends on how much you add: YouTube asks for original, non-repetitive content. I’m not a lawyer and I don’t decide for YouTube; I edit with your narration in front and flag the risky stretches.
How much does a YouTube editor for top 10 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.
