Freelance Video Editor and Animator
Turn creative ideas into videos people remember. A company in the SaaS and technology industry is seeking a creative freelance video editor and animator to produce promotional videos, product demonstrations, tutorials, animations and engaging social media content.
Who should consider this opportunity? Video editors, motion designers and animators who can communicate ideas visually, explain software features clearly and deliver polished content on schedule.
About the Freelance Role
This opportunity is suited to a creative professional who understands how to turn raw footage, product features and ideas into compelling visual stories. The work covers everything from promotional videos and product explainers to tutorials, motion graphics and social media content.
The role combines creative thinking with practical production skills. You should be comfortable shaping a video from concept to final delivery, paying attention to pacing, typography, sound, transitions and the needs of the intended audience.
Because the company works with software products, the ability to explain digital tools through clear visuals could be particularly valuable.
Choose three to five strong projects that show different skills. A focused showreel with your best work is often more useful than a long collection of unrelated videos.
Responsibilities of the Video Editor and Animator
The successful freelancer will help create clear, engaging and visually polished content for different platforms and audiences. Responsibilities include:
- Edit promotional videos, product explainers, tutorials and social media content.
- Create motion graphics, animated text, transitions and visual effects.
- Animate product interfaces and demonstrate software features.
- Adapt videos for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
- Add captions, sound effects and properly licensed background music.
- Collaborate with the founding team on storyboards and creative concepts.
- Meet deadlines, incorporate feedback and deliver final videos with the agreed source files.
When presenting previous projects, briefly explain the goal, your contribution and the final result. This helps a potential client understand not just what you made, but how you think.
Requirements and Qualifications
Applicants should have demonstrable creative skills and the equipment needed to complete freelance video production work remotely. The stated requirements include:
- Demonstrable experience in video editing, animation and motion graphics.
- Proficiency in Adobe After Effects or equivalent software.
- Strong storytelling, typography, composition and sound design skills.
- A portfolio or showreel showcasing previous work.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted creative tools.
- A suitable computer, reliable internet connection and relevant software.
- Ability to work remotely and attend occasional meetings aligned with UK working hours.

Additional Advantage
Experience with SaaS products, user-interface animation and 3D animation could give an applicant an additional advantage.
Familiarity with tools such as Blender, Cinema 4D or similar applications is also beneficial.
These skills can help bring software interfaces, product concepts and technical features to life through engaging visual storytelling.
If you have UI animation or 3D work, include a short example in your showreel. Label your personal contribution clearly, especially when a project involved collaboration.
