JOB OVERVIEW

I run a YouTube channel and need a dedicated Motion Graphics & Animation Specialist. I already have a video editor — your sole job is to own every animation, keep everything strictly on-brand, and deliver polished motion graphics fast.

- Sync animations to music, voice-over, beats, and cuts
- Maintain clean and organized projects (naming, folders, compositions, exports)
- Coordinate with our video editor and deliver assets ready to drop into Premiere/Final Cut/DaVinci
- Perform strict quality control before submitting work
- Sync animation to music, VO beats, and cuts
- Maintain clean workflows: naming, labeling, structure, proper exports

- Perform strict quality control: no sloppy easing, wrong fonts, jittering, or off-brand elements
- Deliver on time — YouTube schedule moves fast

6. Plug-ins & Workflow Knowledge
