Video Editor Needed for Authentic Founder Video For Website Hero Section

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a video editor to create a short founder video for a new home remodeling/renovation savings business. I recorded multiple takes of myself speaking on camera - in total I chose 6 clips fyi. I will provide the video clips, timestamps, and the script/message I was trying to cover. I need you to choose the best sections, edit them together naturally, clean up the pacing if needed, improve audio if needed, add captions, and add a few simple text overlays. This is NOT supposed to feel flashy, corporate, or like a YouTube ad or an IG Influencer. It should feel sincere, trustworthy, and authentic - it is SUPER important that you can understand this tone and that you care about your work and won't just throw this together quickly. Please don't reply if that's not of interest to you. Please, you need to be able to understand the audience to guide text overlays and the tone. They are mostly older Florida homeowners who may be planning a major remodel or renovation project. The tone should feel protective, honest, and personal — like a founder explaining why he started the business after helping his mom save money on several big home projects. Final video goal: * Around 2:30-3:00 min, but prefer less if possible (was going for 2 mins or under but clips chosen are 3:13 mins total) * Natural founder/story video * Clean jump cuts are okay * Keep it authentic, not overproduced * Improve audio (if needed - seems fine) and pacing * Add clear captions * Add a few simple text overlays only where helpful and not overkill with these * Export as 1080p MP4, 16:9 landscape, H.264 (Final export: web-ready 1080p MP4, 16:9 landscape, H.264 video codec, AAC audio. Please also provide a captioned version and a clean version without captions if possible. And provide format for social media if different. Also as compressed as possible) * Provide one revision I will provide: * All video clips * Preferred timestamps * Final script/message * Notes on tone and target audience Please respond with: 1. IMPORTANT: A link to 1–2 similar talking-head/founder videos you edited or other works that you feel relay a similar message. 2. Your process for choosing the best takes from multiple clips. 3. How you would make this feel authentic and trustworthy, not overproduced. 4. Your turnaround time. 5. Whether you can provide captions and a web-ready MP4 file. Since most or all responses I know I'll get will be AI, I will message if the videos you send are as requested. I want someone who understands this is a trust-building founder video, not a flashy social media ad. I plan to have more video editing work if I can find the right person. Thanks.
