Hi, I need an editor who can make faceless videos for me.
We can use my voice or clone my voice that is okay as well but I will only share the script and voice if it is my voice otherwise you can use the clone.
You need to make video like this:
https://youtu.be/uPQcyookL0Y?si=l0vrnyFhCft5cTK3
Now what is special about this video link? It is the way of story telling with sound effects, music and animations and other effects that keeps you engaged into the most boring subject that you wouldn't read if it wasn't a video like this. It really helps if you know how to use these latest AI tools as that will make your life easy and you wouldn't spend so much time as if you are slow, then it is already a no. In this world of AI we don't want to be slow anymore.

My script is attached and I need someone that can do this.
I am open to all kind of creative criticism like changing script and other stuff. All I want is a great video that people will bother to watch only because of its video and audio not because of its narration or script necessarily, entertainment over education.

Of course you need to provide a short sample, you can water mark it but if I don't see sample I won't know you can do it unless you have done exactly what I want in the past with the same niche as my script. Otherwise I can't compare apples with oranges :)

I would daily need at one video like this. We will be working very long term.
So, being reasonable is important.
Good luck and script is attached.

We are looking for a skilled 3D animator to create a 10 to 15 second cinematic animation that highlights our product in a clean and captivating way. This video will be featured on the homepage of our website and should instantly grab attention with a high-end, polished look.

The animation must be designed with text overlay in mind. The movement, lighting, and overall pacing should allow space for text to appear clearly on screen without overpowering the visuals. We want something that feels cinematic, smooth, and visually rich.

Reference materials and branding direction will be provided. Experience with product animations in the beauty or skincare space is a plus.

I am looking for a skilled video editor to assist with editing my YouTube videos.

I will provide a Premiere project file with the timeline filled with the talking head part of the video and any screen recordings necessary. What I am looking for is an editor who can take my project file and finish the edit with mainly motion graphics linked in after effects, title screens, transitions and sfx.
I will also provide reference frames for the animations also.

Editor needs to have experience in the following:
Works in Premiere & After Effects and be able to share final project file + assets
Understanding of pacing and engagement
Good communication skills

Here are some reference videos I am looking to make:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWKXu5yppc0&t=124s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb-2eZX_B0M

Looking to find a good fit as I am planning on multiple videos a month.

Budget for each video is $100

Please provide:
Some of your recent work that showcases your editing and animating skills
Estimate turnaround time for a 8min video
Any stock website subscriptions you may have that can help with sourcing b-roll and animation presets

If this sounds like you then please apply and I'll reach out if I think we would be a good fit!

What you’ll do:
• Use our existing script and reference video as a guide
• Record or edit screen captures to clearly show product features
• Apply a blue gradient LED-style background to give the video a modern, polished look
• Ensure the final version is engaging, easy to follow, and stays under 60 seconds

We have a 1950-frame animation where a 3D-rendered building is composited onto drone footage. The render is already done and tracked, but the building is slightly misaligned (constant offset across the shot).

We're looking for an experienced compositor or motion designer who can:

Adjust and align the 3D render layer globally (no frame-by-frame needed)

Use After Effects or Nuke to composite the building cleanly into the footage

Tweak perspective/scale/position and blend the edges naturally

Possibly add simple masking or shadow to hide seams

The 3D building is rendered with alpha channel. Footage is stable and consistent. We just need someone who understands photomatching and compositing tricks.

🎯 Goal: Fix alignment + export final video. No re-rendering or 3D work needed.

Please send relevant compositing examples, ideally with architecture or tracked footage.

What We Have:
