Flashy YouTube Edit & Thumbnail -- 2
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a full video and a raw clips that need to be shaped into a single YouTube piece that feels polished and authoritative, yet visually exciting. The final cut should run roughly 1hr, 2hs or even more. balanced the audio, and colour-graded the footage.
For transitions, I’m after flashy effects backed by clean, professional-looking graphic elements rather than simple fades. Think quick but controlled motion graphics that keep the viewer engaged without sacrificing the informative, business-minded tone of the channel. Motion tracking or subtle call-outs are welcome wherever they aid clarity.
The project also calls for one eye-catching thumbnail that matches the video’s branding and communicates its key message at a glance.
Even though the videos are long, you are not required to work on the entire video. I have trimmed the video to my liking. I have highlighted key area where i need you to work on. These areas are whatever you can do to create effects or animation of the characters in the videos to go with my introductory commentary. My introductory commentary ranges from a minute to 3 minutes. Then later in the video again, i might introduce another commentary and perhaps a closing commentary. So your work would be on 3 key commentary areas. And enhance audio for entire video. Other parts of the video should not be altered as it is an original interview. Am not fluent in the graphic design language but i hope i have given you the clue about what i need done.
Tools you’re comfortable with—Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop—are all fine as long as the output is crisp, 1080p (or higher) and ready for immediate upload.
Deliverables:
• Final edited video (H.264, 1080p or 4K)
• Separate high-res thumbnail (JPEG/PNG)
• Project files and any custom graphics so I can tweak later if needed
If you’ve handled similar edits with strong motion graphics before, send a link or two; I’ll share the footage via cloud link as soon as we agree on timing.
