Motion Graphics: Bringing boring documents to life. You must be able to animate police reports, highlight text on screen, create smooth photo parallaxes, and use kinetic typography to emphasize chilling quotes. Sound Design: This is crucial. Using SFX (bass drops, risers, heartbeat sounds, muted silences) to build tension and complement the Voiceover. Edit the audio as well, if necessary.

What We Are Looking For: Proven experience editing True Crime videos for popular channels. Advanced proficiency in Premiere Pro & After Effects (or DaVinci Resolve Studio).

How to Apply: Attention Check: Start your proposal with the word TIMELINE so we know you read the details. Your Arsenal: Briefly tell us what editing software you use.

If your portfolio matches our high standards, we will invite you to complete a short, paid test task (editing 1-2 min. intro) before moving to a long-term contract.
