Cinematic Podcast Trailer Edit
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m ready to turn the next episode of my podcast into a suspense-driven, cinematic trailer and I’m looking for a video editor who can match the energy of the first two minutes of this reference piece:

What I’ll hand over:
• The full recording of the episode
• Precise timecodes (e.g., 1:02-2:05) for every moment I want highlighted
• Extra media—guest photos, behind-the-scenes clips, or any other footage that strengthens the story
What I need from you:
• A tight, 2-minute cut that instantly hooks viewers with a suspenseful tone
• Orchestral background music that builds tension and emotion
• Creative transitions that feel purposeful, not gimmicky
• Dynamic, on-brand captions that reinforce key lines
• Color grade, sound design, and overall polish to studio standards
Delivery checklist:
1. Final trailer (H.264 .mp4, 1080p or higher, max 120 s)
2. Separate caption file (.srt) plus burned-in captions version
3. Source project files for future tweaks
4. Up to two minor revision passes after first draft
If you can capture the mood we’re after, there’s an ongoing opportunity—one new trailer every month as fresh episodes drop. Let’s create something that leaves the audience eager for more.
