Muslim Video Editor Needed for Islamic Explainer Channel

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

⚠️ CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: Because this project involves deeply researched Islamic educational content, you must be a practicing Muslim to ensure cultural and spiritual accuracy in how the concepts are visually represented. ✅ Job Description: We are building a high-potential YouTube channel focused on Islamic explainer videos, heavily inspired by the visual storytelling style of The Visual Deen (see their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheVisualDeen). We will provide you with the completed title, script, and voiceover for every project. Your job is to bring the script to life with your editing. 🎬 The Style & Workflow: The Concept: The videos utilize a recurring teacher avatar/character to guide the viewer through the topic (see Visual Deen's channel as an example). The Visuals: We are NOT looking for complex, custom 2D animation or time-consuming AI asset generation. To ensure a fast turnaround time, your workflow will primarily involve utilizing high-quality clipart, vectors, and icons to dynamically represent the script. The Secret Sauce: Pacing and literal visual metaphors. You must be able to take a single spoken sentence and creatively figure out how to represent it using a clever combination of icons, text, sound effects, and smooth motion graphics to maintain maximum viewer retention. 🎯 What We Are Looking For: High Creativity: You don't just drop icons on a screen; you think outside the box to represent complex spiritual or historical concepts in a clever, engaging way. Fast-Paced Editing: Ability to maintain a quick, high-retention rhythm suitable for modern YouTube audiences. Efficiency: Ability to work quickly to ensure consistent, rapid uploads. Reliability: Deadlines are non-negotiable. 💰 Compensation & Video Length: Rate: Starting pay is $3.00 per video minute. Video Length: Varies per project. Some videos will be concise (7–8 minutes), while deeper topics may stretch to 12+ minutes. For example, if a video is 12 minutes long, you would be paid $36 for the project. Growth: This is a long-term partnership. As the channel hits growth milestones and monetizes, compensation will be re-evaluated and scaled upward. 📥 How to Apply: To be considered: 1. Provide a link to your portfolio or specific examples of fast-paced, icon-driven, or educational explainer videos you have edited. 2. Mention the word "DEEN" so we know you read this entire post. 3. Confirmation that you are willing to complete a 1-minute sample video. We have the title, script, and voiceover ready to send. Because we need to ensure your creative editing style matches our channel's vision before hiring, please only apply if you are 100% comfortable completing this short, sample. (Note: If your 1-minute sample video meets our quality standards and we move forward with hiring you for the channel, this sample will be fully compensated as part of your first official milestone).
