Motion Designer — AE Template Specialist
Contract· Remote · Growing Startup Team

About WEVI
WEVI is a platform that turns software interfaces into cinematic product videos. No agencies. No camera. No After Effects experience required from the user.

Founders and SaaS marketing teams drop in their product URL, describe what they want, and WEVI builds the storyboard, writes the script, and generates a premium motion video around their actual UI.

We're early, we're growing fast, and we're building the visual language that SaaS marketing will run on. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape that language from day one.

The Role
We're looking for a motion designer who lives and breathes After Effects — specifically someone who understands expressions at a deep level and can build templates that feel dynamic, intelligent, and premium.

Every template you build will power real product videos for real SaaS companies. These aren't decorative animations — they are the product. The quality bar is high and the work needs to reflect that.

What You'll Be Building
UI & SaaS Animation Templates
• Short cinematic AE templates — each under 7 seconds
• Templates that animate real SaaS UI elements: button clicks, dropdowns, toggles, form fills, dashboards, modals, notifications, and more
• Every template must accept dynamic inputs: brand colors, UI screenshots, text layers — driven by expressions and dynamic link controls
• Output must render in 1080p and 4K with no quality degradation

Expression-Driven Dynamics
• All customizable properties must be controlled through AE expressions and Essential Graphics panel controls
• Color, typography, and UI elements must update dynamically without manual keyframe adjustments
• Templates must be production-ready for backend rendering pipelines — clean, organized, and documented

Premium Quality — Non-Negotiable
• Every template should feel like it came from a top-tier motion design studio
• Reference quality: Notion, Google, Stripe, Canva product videos
• Smooth easing, intentional timing, cinematic energy — not generic

What We're Looking For
• Deep proficiency in After Effects — expressions are not optional, they are the job
• Strong understanding of UI design and how SaaS interfaces are structured
• Experience building template-based motion systems, not just one-off animations
• Mastery of easing, timing, and motion principles — your animations should feel physically real
• Ability to work within constraints: fixed durations, dynamic inputs, production pipeline requirements
• A portfolio that shows premium, clean, interface-focused motion work
• Bonus: experience with Cavalry or data-driven motion tools
• Bonus: understanding of how AE comps connect to render pipelines (aerender, dynamic link)

What We're NOT Looking For
• Generalist video editors who dabble in motion
• Designers who rely on presets or template marketplaces
• Anyone who can't articulate what an expression controller is and why it matters
• Work that looks like it was made in Canva

What You'll Get
• Ground-floor role at a SaaS video platform with real traction and growing user base
• Your work will be seen by thousands of SaaS founders and marketing teams
• Direct collaboration with the founder — no layers, no bureaucracy
• Creative ownership over the visual language of a new product category
• Competitive contract rate based on experience and output quality
• Opportunity to grow into a full-time creative lead role as the team scales

How to Apply
Send the following to [your email] with the subject line: Motion Designer — WEVI

• Your portfolio or reel — specifically work that includes UI animations or interface-driven motion
• Two or three examples of AE templates you've built with dynamic expression controls
• A short note (3-5 sentences) on what makes a great SaaS product video

We review every submission personally. If your work is the right level — you'll hear from us within 48 hours.
