SAAS Video Explainer VSL

We’re looking for an experienced SaaS video editor and motion designer to create a polished, gripping product explainer video for ProLyrics, a songwriting platform that helps writers develop ideas, discover rhymes, explore language, and organize complete songs. Reference style: https://www.sandcastles.ai The finished video should feel premium, cinematic, energetic, and highly engaging—combining a presenter, animated screen recordings, motion graphics, branded transitions, interface callouts, and music. Project overview We have a complete, time-coded script covering the ProLyrics workflow. The current script runs approximately five minutes, although we are open to tightening the edit toward 4–4½ minutes if it improves pacing without losing essential product details. The most important part of the project is the opening. The first 20–30 seconds must immediately grab songwriters’ attention and make the problem feel real: Starting with a strong idea but losing momentum Getting stuck searching for the right rhyme or phrase Deleting lyrics and staring at a blank page Jumping between browser tabs, documents, and voice notes Watching the energy of a song disappear We want this opening to feel emotional, fast-moving, and visually compelling—not like a conventional screen-recorded software tutorial. Visual direction The Sandcastles video is our benchmark for quality and presentation. We like its: Presenter-led format Cinematic lighting and polished color grade Fast, purposeful pacing Animated product-interface overlays Glowing frames and UI highlights Smooth zooms, transitions, and camera movement Clear visual hierarchy Modern SaaS aesthetic Combination of presenter footage and product demonstrations The video must use ProLyrics’ own branding, colors, typography, website styling, interface, and animation language. The reference should inspire the level of polish, not be copied directly. Scope of work The selected freelancer will: Help translate our script into a strong visual treatment or storyboard Edit presenter footage Create polished product screen recordings Animate the ProLyrics interface where appropriate Add cursor movements, zooms, highlights, callouts, and transitions Create branded motion graphics and title cards Add relevant B-roll during the opening problem sequence Add licensed background music and tasteful sound design Clean and mix dialogue audio Color-grade the presenter footage Add captions or animated on-screen text where useful Build a strong final call-to-action screen Deliver the finished video and editable project files The script demonstrates: Creating and organizing a new song The advanced rhyme tool Perfect, near, slant, phrase, and mouth-shape rhymes The Idea Generator Genre-specific language discovery Idioms and syllable filtering Creative search and research The complete songwriting workflow A final free-trial call to action Deliverables One finished 16:9 explainer video in 4K and 1080p Target runtime of approximately 4½–5 minutes One shorter cutdown of approximately 30–45 seconds for social media or advertising Captioned and non-captioned versions Final audio mix and color grade Editable source project with organized assets Licensed music, sound effects, fonts, and stock-footage documentation Ideal candidate You should have proven experience creating premium videos for SaaS products. Strong motion-design skills are essential. You should be comfortable combining: Presenter footage Software demonstrations UI animation Motion graphics B-roll Music and sound design Story-driven editing Experience creating videos for music, creator, AI, or productivity products is a bonus. When applying Please include: Two or three relevant SaaS explainer or product-demo videos you personally created. A short explanation of how you would approach the first 20 seconds of this video. Whether you handle storyboarding, screen recording, motion design, sound design, and color grading yourself. The software you use. Your estimated timeline and fixed-price quote. Please do not send a generic portfolio with no explanation. We are especially interested in examples featuring polished UI animation, presenter footage, and strong opening hooks. Assets we will provide Complete time-coded script ProLyrics brand assets and color palette Website and product access Presenter footage or recording coordination Product screenshots and interface references Feedback during storyboard and editing stages We’re looking for someone who can do more than assemble screen recordings. We want a creative partner who understands pacing, storytelling, visual persuasion, and how to make a software product feel exciting. If the collaboration goes well, there may be additional opportunities for product tutorials, feature announcements, advertisements, and social-media cutdowns.
