Summary

I’m looking for a reliable video editor to help assemble YouTube explainer videos using AI-generated visuals. I will provide: Finished voiceover narration 5-second AI-generated video clips Still images for each scene Storyboard/script with the order of scenes General style direction Your job will be to take the voiceover and visuals and make the video flow naturally. The clips are usually only 5 seconds long, so you’ll need to extend scenes when needed using freeze frames, still images, slow zooms, pans, simple motion, text pop-ups, arrows, warning icons, and other basic visual tricks. This is not a full creative edit from scratch. The main task is syncing the clips to the audio and making sure the visuals stay matched to the narration. The videos will land in the 12-20 minute video length. Style of Video: 2D cartoon explainer White background Simple paint-drawing / stick-figure style Comedic history/storytelling tone Clean, simple, retention-focused editing There will be paint explainer videos. Examples: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+paint+explainer Ideal Candidate: Experience editing YouTube videos Good sense of pacing and comedic timing Comfortable working with AI-generated clips and images Can make static images feel alive with zooms, pans, and simple motion Reliable with deadlines Good communicator Example Task: A narration section may be 10 seconds long, but the AI clip is only 5 seconds. You would use the 5-second clip, then extend the scene with a freeze frame or still image, add a slow zoom, and maybe include a red warning icon, arrow, or character reaction so the scene still feels active. Please mention the word M&M's in your application so I know you read the entire job description.
