We are looking for a full-time video editor to join our team who can make high-quality short-form (vertical) and long-form (horizontal) videos in After Effects (AE). We have been editing in AE for years and will teach you the processes and plugins we use. We also have branded motion graphic templates for our clients to ensure brand consistency.

However, just because we provide templates doesn’t mean you don’t need you to innovate! We need someone who has a good “design eye” and can make the videos more visually engaging than just sticking to the templates. Below is a reel with examples of the quality we expect:
