Video Editor and Motion Designer for SaaS Explainer Videos (ongoing work)

Posted 3 days ago

Summary

We are PaymentKit, a payment infrastructure platform. We are producing a series of 40 to 60 second sales videos that explain what we do to people who have never heard of us. They run on LinkedIn, YouTube and in outreach. We are starting with one paid video and have more lined up if it goes well. The style is 2D motion graphics, SaaS explainer. What matters is not the amount of animation, it is turning abstract ideas into simple objects that move. One of our scripts talks about a business owning its payment tokens and being able to move them between processors. There is no screen for that anywhere in the app, so you build it: a vault, and the card, Apple Pay and Google Pay marks moving into it and locking. If this were a dating app, it would be two people with phones and the phones connecting. Every video has two or three moments like that. The rest is our product, used as proof. We are not asking for agency level 3D or full motion from start to finish. We are asking for something clean and considered. Flat, on brand, no generic 3D icon packs, glowing gradients or large text filling the frame. If it looks like the AI generated videos flooding LinkedIn right now, it is not for us. What you need to be able to do Work in Figma. Our product UI lives there and you will pull screens from it, crop them and animate them. You do not need to design anything, just to find your way around a large file. Build parts of the video from scratch, like the vault example above. Produce the voiceover. We write and approve the script, you put a voice to it. Native or near native English, cost included in your rate. Music and sound design, After Effects or equivalent, and be comfortable handing over the project file. We send a written brief for each video with a beat by beat breakdown and references, plus the Figma file, a sandbox account and the brand kit. The brief is direction, not a storyboard. Once you are inside the style, how you land each moment is yours. Deliverables per video: one 1920x1080 mp4 with voiceover, music and sound design, the project file, two rounds of revisions, and a turnaround of five to seven days. To apply, skip the generic proposal. Send two or three pieces from your portfolio closest to this and tell us which seconds to look at, your rate per video with the voiceover included, and one or two sentences on how you would show an idea like the vault example. We want to see how you think.
