As a freelance video editor, I edit military history and war documentary
channels — animated battle maps, troop movement sequences, campaign timelines,
and archival footage integration. Send me your script or research and I'll
handle the maps, the pacing, and the polish.

What I Do
Every battle. Easy to follow.
Military history channels live or die on whether viewers can follow the battle
— here's exactly what I bring to every episode.
Unit markers, troop movements, and front-line shifts built in After Effects
and cut into your edit so viewers always understand how the battle unfolded.
Long campaigns spanning multiple battles and years get an animated timeline
so viewers stay oriented as the story moves across time and terrain.
I pace every cut to the rhythm of the narration, building tension through the
lead-up and payoff of each engagement instead of a flat recitation of events.
I source, organize, and integrate archival footage, newsreel clips, and
historical photographs alongside your animated battle maps and narration.
Clean lower-third citation supers referencing your sources, which helps build
credibility on historical and military claims.
I build a reusable map and graphics style for your channel — unit
markers, colors, labels, motion — so every upload feels like part of
the same series.

These are the most common issues military history channel owners face before working with a professional editor. I fix all of them.
Battles are hard to follow without a map
I turn dense battle narration into animated map sequences with unit
markers and movement, so the terrain carries the story instead of slowing
it down.
Viewers get lost tracking troop movements mid-video
I add animated front-line shifts and unit movement so viewers can follow
advances, encirclements, and retreats without losing the thread.
Archival war footage looks inconsistent next to newer clips
I grade and place archival footage, newsreel clips, and historical photos
so they sit naturally alongside your animated maps and current footage.
No on-screen citations makes claims look unverified
I add clean lower-third source citations that build credibility without
cluttering the frame or breaking the visual flow.
A weekly upload schedule is impossible when every video needs custom battle maps
I work with several channels on a recurring retainer, applying the same
map style and editing decisions consistently so uploads stay on schedule.
The video feels like a dry recitation instead of a gripping campaign
I pace cuts to the narration's rhythm and build tension through each
engagement, so a long campaign still feels like a story, not a slideshow.
How It Works
Simple 4-Step Process
From script and research to a publish-ready episode — here's exactly how we
work together.
Send your script or voiceover, footage and archival sources, battles or
campaigns to animate, and any style references.
I build the animated battle map sequences, pace the cut to your narration,
integrate archival footage, and add citation graphics where needed.
You review the cut and leave timestamped notes on pacing, map accuracy, or
citations. I refine until it's ready to publish.
Receive your publish-ready episode in 4K, exported for YouTube, on schedule
for your next upload.

episodes can run $600+. I'll quote exactly after seeing your script or a
reference episode.
