75-Second B2B SaaS Launch Video in Descript

I need a freelance video editor to complete a 75-85 second launch video for my B2B SaaS consulting practice (Foundry GTM). The video is already recorded in Descript. Your job is to edit it, apply motion graphics and text overlays, add music, and export. WHY THIS JOB IS EASIER THAN MOST: You'll receive a complete brief that includes: - Full script (beat-by-beat, ~180 words) - Beat-by-beat edit direction (5 beats, timing, delivery notes) - Every graphic and text overlay specified (font, color, size, animation) - Music guidance (source, style, mix levels) - Brand color palette and font system - Descript workflow steps in order - Definition of done + post-export checklist - 2 required export formats Almost every decision has been made for you. You execute, don't invent. DELIVERABLES: 1. Background treatment options at first-cut stage. The raw footage was recorded in a home office and needs the background replaced — no blur, no leaving the original. Deliver 5 options (10-15s clip of Beat 1 in each, using Descript AI background removal for all) so I can pick before you build the full cut: a. Solid brand-color backdrop (#F4EFE6) b. Dot-grid pattern backdrop (specs in the brief) c. Branded abstract composition using brand palette + oversized geometric elements (build asset) d. Curated workspace photograph (source from Unsplash/Pexels, warm tones, no people/logos) e. High-tech ambient (dark backdrop with subtle particle motion + brand-color corner glows — NOT sci-fi tropes) 2. Final edited video in Descript (I'll get project access) 3. Two exported versions: - Master: 1080p landscape (1920x1080), 30fps, H.264, under 200MB - Social cut: 1080x1080 square OR 1080x1350 vertical 4. Any Canva/graphics files used, shared to my Google Drive REQUIRED SKILLS: - Descript (this is a Descript project — not Premiere, not DaVinci, not CapCut) - Descript AI background removal (footage was recorded in a home office; background will be replaced with a solid or patterned brand backdrop) - Motion typography and text overlay animation - Audio mixing (Studio Sound cleanup + music ducking) - Basic motion graphics (fade-ins, slide-ups, simple animations) NICE TO HAVE: - B2B SaaS or thought-leadership video experience - Canva proficiency for graphics build (script specifies Canva) - Eye Contact correction experience in Descript TURNAROUND (this is a priority project — do not apply if you can't hit these): - First cut delivered within 48 hours of getting Descript project access - One round of revisions with a 12-hour turnaround on your side (I commit to 12-hour turnaround on my feedback) - Final delivery within 72 hours (3 business days) of hire If you're currently booked and can't clear space for this, please don't apply. Total work is 5-6 hours based on the brief spec — this is achievable in 72 hours for editors with current capacity. BUDGET: Fixed price: $450-600 based on portfolio. Includes 5 background treatment options at first-cut stage (some require asset builds — branded abstract composition and high-tech ambient animation). I'm looking for a professional who works fast because the brief eliminates ambiguity, not someone who charges by the hour and stretches the timeline. PAYMENT: - 50% released on hire (funded escrow) - 50% released on approved final export If you've made it to this point in the description, please start your proposal with the phrase "READY TO EDIT" so I know you actually read the brief.
