Direct-Response Video Editor for VSLs

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

Location: Remote Compensation: Paid (please include your rate/fixed price when applying) About the Project We’re producing Video Sales Letters (VSLs). We need a highly skilled direct-response video editor to transform our raw footage, scripts, and voiceovers into polished, conversion-optimized VSLs in mobile and desktop format. What You'll Be Editing Depending on the specific project, you will be assigned to edit one or both of the following two VSL formats. 1. Spokesperson VSLs: We have cast a spokesperson to act as the face of the brand. We will provide the raw A-roll. Your job is to edit her performance, manage the pacing, and layer in relevant B-roll and clean text-on-screen to keep viewers hooked. 2. Faceless / Voiceover VSLs: The visual narrative will be driven entirely by a voiceover, layered with a mix of high-quality AI-generated footage, stock video, and custom footage filmed by our team. Who We're Looking For Direct Response Expert: You understand VSL psychology, pattern interrupts, and retention strategy. (Please note: This is a conversion-focused editing role, not a cinematic short film project). Visual Storyteller: You can take a script and raw assets and build a visually compelling narrative that matches the educational, reassuring tone of our brand. Meticulous Detailer: You have excellent synchronization skills for voiceovers, text-on-screen (kinetic typography), and visual transitions. Proper audio mixing is a must. AI Footage & Licensing Workflow We must have full commercial rights to all footage used. We are open to two different workflows for sourcing the AI and stock assets: Option 1: You provide the assets (Package Pricing). You use your own paid, commercial-tier AI tools and stock subscriptions to generate the required B-roll. You include the cost of this in your project rate and legally transfer all commercial rights to us upon delivery. Option 2: We provide the AI accounts. We set up isolated workspaces for you using our company accounts. Deliverables Full edit of a long-form VSL (approximately 35–40 minutes). To Apply Please include: 1. Your typical rate or a fixed-price quote for a project of this scope. - If choosing Option 1, please provide your all-in package price. - If Option 2, please list the specific AI tools you recommend for generating realistic B-roll, and we will decide if we want to purchase a company subscription for you to use during the project. 2. 2 to 3 links to VSLs you have edited (ideally in the direct-response, health, or preparedness space). 3. Your typical turnaround time once all raw assets are provided. Selected applicants may be invited to a short video call or a small paid test edit before moving forward.
