# Direct-Response VSL Editor / Motion Designer We're looking for an experienced **direct-response VSL editor / motion designer** to cut a Video Sales Letter for a sports-betting data platform. This is a direct-response sales video, not a corporate explainer. We need someone who understands how to hold attention, build an argument visually, and use product demonstration, motion graphics and on-screen text to make a case — not just to decorate one. ## Scope | Deliverable | Detail | |---|---| | Primary VSL | 6:10–6:40, [16:9] | | Cutdown | ~90 seconds, [aspect ratio] | | Exports | Web-ready, plus editable project files | | Motion assets | Source files for all graphics built | **Timeline:** Raw material will be submitted upon signing, deadline for completion 1 Oct 2026 **Budget:** per pour incl. estimate on hours needed to complete project ## What the edit involves Roughly ten sequences alternating **presenter footage** with **real product screen recordings**, plus: - **One extended mobile walkthrough**, around 45 seconds, shot on a real phone in real time. No speed-ramping, no fake taps, no cutting around latency. This is the single most important sequence in the video and it has to feel unstaged. - **A cold open with no voiceover** — graphics and screen footage only, carrying the opening idea before anyone speaks. - **15–20 discrete motion-graphic moments**: highlighting specific figures on a live interface, hand-drawn-style circles and arrows, large numerical comparisons held on screen, simple animated charts, animated text statements, product callouts, an offer card, and section transitions. - **Burned-in Brazilian Portuguese captions** throughout. Supplied timed and locked — you do not need to speak Portuguese, but you do need to handle accented characters correctly and proof against the supplied text. - **A persistent CTA overlay** across the full runtime. The graphics exist to make the argument easier to follow. Anything that only decorates gets cut. ## Editing style Fast and engaged without becoming gimmicky. No excessive zooms, meme cuts, speed-ramping or generic social-media effects. The product and the argument stay in focus. Product demonstration is central — we want viewers watching the actual platform being used, not generic animations or static screenshots. ## How the project is built **The script is locked and heavily specified.** It states what appears on screen at each moment, which sequences may not be trimmed, and which may. You'll be working to it rather than interpreting freely. **Some footage is captured late.** Parts of the product footage are recorded live shortly before the edit and will replace placeholders, so you need to be comfortable working with real, late-arriving material rather than building everything from static assets supplied up front. **The edit must be modular.** Individual prices, product screens, graphics and one optional inserted clip need to be swappable later without rebuilding the video. Structure the project accordingly. ## We provide Approved script with on-screen direction · presenter footage · product access and screen recordings · brand assets · creative direction. ## Who we're looking for Freelancers with real experience in some combination of: - Direct-response VSLs - SaaS or product sales videos - Performance marketing creative - Founder-led sales video - Screen-recording-heavy edits - Motion graphics integrated with live product footage ## To apply - 3–5 relevant examples, ideally combining **presenter + product UI + screen recording + motion graphics** - Your role on each, and whether you handled editing, motion design or both - Rate or range, and estimated turnaround - Software and workflow - Revision rounds included Shortlisted candidates will be asked to cut a **paid 30–45 second test** from one section of the script before we commit to the full project. **What matters most:** we're looking for someone who understands direct-response storytelling, not someone who can make a video look polished or who relies on AI generated content.

Consider this ✍️The key to a successful direct-response VSL is how to hold attention with every cut and visual element. I understand the importance of building an argument visually while integrating product demonstrations and motion graphics. You mentioned the need for a fast and engaged editing style, with real product footage and no gimmicky effects. What usually matters most here is ensuring that the argument remains clear and compelling throughout the video. I have worked on similar VSL projects where the focus was on capturing real-time interactions with a platform. So I know the risks of losing viewer engagement if the visuals don't serve the argument. My approach would involve: • Structuring the edit according to your locked script for clarity. • Integrating the mobile walkthrough seamlessly with the presenter footage. • Using motion graphics to highlight key figures directly on the live interface. • Ensuring the project is modular for future edits or updates. • Proofing against the supplied Brazilian Portuguese captions for accuracy. How important is it to keep the product demonstration front and center throughout the entire video? Best, Kurt.

A cold open with no voiceover is where direct-response edits lose the room. You've locked the script and specified each frame. The edit follows it, not interprets it. • Ten sequences paced so the argument lands before the CTA, not after. • Graphics that hold figures and comparisons on screen long enough to register. • A modular project structure so prices, screens, and graphics swap without a re-edit. Edited 40+ product-demo and direct-response edits without speed-ramping the walkthrough. 5-star rated — check my profile for full portfolio and client reviews. A vertical cut of the cold open also ships with the master, so the opening can run as a standalone paid-social teaser. For the cold open, is the visual sequence already mapped in the script, or do I build that arc?

Hi, Your brief immediately stood out because this isn’t a generic video edit—it’s a direct-response VSL where every visual needs to support the sales argument. That’s exactly how I would approach the project. I can build the edit around your locked script, combining presenter footage, real product screen recordings, clean motion graphics, animated text/numbers, charts, callouts, and purposeful transitions without overusing flashy effects. I’ll also keep the project fully modular, so product screens, pricing, graphics, and optional clips can be replaced later without rebuilding the entire edit. I’ll carefully proof the supplied Brazilian Portuguese captions, including accented characters. I understand that the real mobile walkthrough needs to feel completely natural—no fake taps, unnecessary speed ramps, or distracting effects. The product and the argument should remain the focus throughout. Rate: $22/hour I’m comfortable working with structured scripts, late-arriving footage, screen-recording-heavy edits, and organized editable project files. I’d be happy to start with the paid 30–45 second test and demonstrate the exact visual direction before moving into the full VSL. I’m ready to make the video feel persuasive, clear, and conversion-focused not just polished.

The 45 second phone walkthrough is probably where this VSL either earns trust or loses it. Because you’ve deliberately said no speed ramps, fake taps, or cuts around latency, that sequence has to sell the product while still feeling like someone is genuinely using it. The same principle should carry through the rest of the edit: the motion graphics should make the numbers, comparisons and product evidence easier to believe, not make the video look more “edited.” I’d build the VSL around that distinction, keeping the presenter and real platform footage as the evidence, then using the 15–20 motion moments to direct attention to whatever proves the argument at that point in the script. I’d also structure the project so the late arriving product footage, prices, screens and optional clip can be swapped without tearing apart the timeline. I can handle the editing and motion design in Premiere Pro and After Effects, including the locked Brazilian Portuguese captions and the 90 second cutdown. Would you like me to cut the paid 30–45 second test from the section containing the product walkthrough?
