Video Editor Wanted — 135 Template-Based Book Reels (Long-Term Work Available)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
The Project
I market books with short vertical videos (Reels/TikTok style, 9:16). For the current book — a sci-fi novel — I need 135 videos, split into 3 fixed formats (45 videos each).
This is template work, not creative editing: you build each of the 3 formats once as a reusable template/workflow. After that, every video is produced by swapping in a new image and new text. All content is prepared for you — every video's text, image description, and metadata is in one Word document, already numbered and sorted by format. You never have to write, shorten, or invent anything.
I've attached example videos or images of all 3 formats plus the content document, so you can see exactly what the end result looks like before you apply.
The 3 Formats
Format 1 — Dialogue Slideshow (45 videos) A slideshow video of 15 slides, 3 seconds per slide. One still scene image is the background for the whole video. The image shows two characters (left/right or top/bottom). The dialogue text is placed slide by slide on the character who is speaking — Speaker A's lines on A's side, Speaker B's lines on B's side, alternating. Slide 15 is always the book cover (supplied). The document gives you all 14 lines per video, already labeled A/B.
Format 2 — Scrolling Text Video (45 videos) 60–90 seconds. A still image sits at the top (~40% of the frame). Below it is a black box with white text that scrolls slowly and continuously upward — text disappears behind the image at the top while new lines enter from the bottom, so viewers read along. The scrolling text is the only moving element. The document gives you the full text block per video.
Format 3 — Book Page Scroll Video (45 videos) 60–90 seconds. A colored genre-fitting background image (not black-and-white). At the top: a short hook line in a colored text box. In the middle: a white box styled like a book page, with the scene text scrolling slowly (again, the only moving element). Inside this text, lines of direct speech are highlighted in soft colors per character (e.g., light blue, light pink, light green) — the document tags every speech line with its exact color, so you just apply the highlight. At the bottom: an eye icon with a view-count number (provided per video) and a small book icon with the book title.
What You Get From Me
One Word document with all 135 videos fully prepared: numbered scenes per format, all text, slide-by-slide breakdowns (Format 1), color tags on every speech line (Format 3), hook lines, image descriptions, and view-count numbers
The book cover image
Example videos or images for each format to match
What You Deliver
The still image for each video, generated by you with an AI image tool (e.g., Midjourney or similar) using the ready-made image description provided per scene in the document
135 vertical videos, 1080×1920 (9:16), MP4
File names matching the document: e.g., F1-Scene01.mp4, F2-Scene01.mp4, F3-Scene01.mp4
Text always fully readable: comfortable reading speed on the scrolls, 3 seconds per slideshow slide, clean legible typography like in the examples
Delivery of all 135 videos together as one complete batch
Why This Is a Good Gig
Once your 3 templates are built, each video is a quick swap of image + text. The work is high-volume and predictable. And this is not a one-off: I have many more books lined up, including versions in other languages. If this first batch is delivered well and on time, I can provide steady, ongoing work.
