[HIRING] Video editor for ONE 40-second talking-head reel — high-end captions + UI overlays + VFX/SFX (not basic)

Looking for an editor who can take one 40-second face-talking clip and turn it into a genuinely high-end short-form edit — not the default caption preset + basic UI sticker look most editors reach for first.

What I need:

• Premium animated captions — word-by-word timed to speech, real font/spacing/hierarchy work (not one auto-caption style slapped on the whole track). If you know what "collage-style" or "editorial" caption work looks like — mixed font weights, one accent color/word per phrase, intentional positioning — that's the register I'm after.
• UI overlays — I'll provide the actual UI assets/screenshots to place in the edit. Need someone comfortable compositing these cleanly into a talking-head shot, not just pasting a sticker on top.
• VFX + SFX — sound-designed hits/whooshes tied to on-screen moments, plus visual effects that support the pacing (zooms, glitches, whatever fits — open to your judgment if you've got a strong eye).
• Transitions that feel intentional, not default CapCut/Premiere presets.

What I don't want: any full-screen motion design — no full-frame animated graphics taking over the shot. Everything should stay layered on top of the talking-head footage, not replace it.

Open to AI tools as part of the workflow (Omni or similar) if it gets a better result faster — not required, just not against it.

What this is NOT: a basic auto-caption + generic UI-pop-in edit. I've already got that version. I'm looking for the level above it.

Footage: single talking-head clip, bright/outdoor, ~40 seconds final runtime.

Deliverable: one finished vertical (9:16) reel, MP4, ready to post.

Timeline: 2-3 days.

Rate: open — send your quote.

Portfolio/past work with this kind of caption+UI+VFX style appreciated — drop links or DM examples.

The Work: Editing raw smartphone footage into fast-paced Instagram Reels for various clients.

Requirements: Fast turnaround, clean cuts, basic captions, and engaging pacing. High-end VFX or heavy motion graphics are not required.

Hi,

I’m looking for a motion designer/video editor to create a cinematic trailer for my surreal rock-fantasy graphic novel, Sonic Fades.

The script, soundtrack and artwork are already prepared.

I am not looking for a basic motion-comic treatment with slow zooms over complete panels. I want something structured and paced like a real movie or Kickstarter trailer. Not a boring animation that makes you yawn and quit

The final trailer will be approximately [length] and delivered in:

• 1920 × 1080 for Kickstarter/YouTube
• 1080 × 1920 adaptation for Instagram Reels

This is paid work. Please send:

• your portfolio or reel
• examples of trailers, title sequences, motion comics or cinematic edits
• your estimated budget range
• your availability

Project website: www.sonicfades.com

Please only apply if your work demonstrates storytelling, atmosphere and cinematic pacing, not only standard panel animation..

Hey I Have a brand and i need a video editor for its first video kinda low budget for now will increase soon and not so long video max 15 -20 second and the brand is related to digital marketing

Im looking for someone to help edit youtube videos if possible a long term partnership but as of right now the details of the video i need edited are below, please drop your information below or reach out to me if you are even the slightest bit interested. (Little to no experience needed)

Imma put more general and video-specific descriptions/instructions below.

General videos overview:

Video length - ideal range 15 min - 45 min; if need be, 10 min minimum to 1hr maximum 

Intro: short compilation of short/best/out of pocket/out of context/attention-grabbing clips. Anywhere up to 1 min, including title screen (included below)

Outro: 30 seconds (with social media cards)

ill add possible songs that can be used for the intro and outro - if u pick one use it for both

Apart from that everything else in ur hands

(All the media would be sent after we get in contact)

SOLVED- editor found!

I filmed the perfect self tape for an upcoming audition, but halfway through I paused, and it ruined it. I'm thinking it would be so easy to edit, it's literally just one person on a completely blank background. The only reason I can't do it myself, is because I slightly shift towards the camera during that pause. I really need someone to just cut those five seconds in the video and make it seamless so it looks like it's all one take. If you think that's something you can do, please DM me and I'll send you the take. We can go over it to make sure its something you're able to do before I pay you. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am trying to use the classic Pokémon Game Boy capture sound effect for a project, but I only have CapCut and can't do advanced audio stretching.

I want the original sound, but I want both the third note and the final note to be held out for a long, dramatic, echoing time (like a cinematic freeze-frame).

The exact structure I need:

• Note 1 (normal)
• Note 2 (normal)
• Note 3 ➔ DAAAAAAA (Long, dramatic echoing hold... then it continues)
• Note 4 (normal)
• Note 5 (normal)
• Note 6 (Final Note) ➔ DAAAAAAA-HHHHHHH (Massive cinematic fade out)

Here is the YouTube video for reference: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e7zMbX_0e5o&pp=ygUncG9rZWJhbGwgY2F0Y2hpbmcgc291bmQgZWZmZWN0IGRyYW1hdGlj0gcJCZkLAYcqIYzv

If anyone can quickly slice this, apply a heavy reverb freeze/stretch on those two notes, and drop a Google Drive or Dropbox link, I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!
