## What you'll do We have a **90-second** narrated rough cut of a short video for a venture firm, along with the full iMovie project and library. We need an experienced editor to take it from rough to polished. **The story is locked.** Storyboard, narration and sequence stay exactly as they are. This is finishing work, not re-editing. ## The main job: audio Some narration was recorded in a podcast studio. Other takes were recorded on location with no noise treatment. You will: - Balance levels so the narration sounds consistent across every scene - Reduce background noise in the field-recorded takes, and match their tone to the studio takes as closely as possible - Keep any music or ambient sound under the voice, with no clipping ## Also - **Transitions:** smooth them and time them to the narrative beats - **Overlay text:** adjust size, font, contrast, position or timing where it improves readability, without cluttering the picture - **Pacing:** if removing an image would let a moment breathe, **propose it** with a timestamp and reason. Don't cut it until it's approved. ## Where you have freedom You choose the noise-reduction and EQ approach, the transition style and timing, and the text styling within the existing look. You may process audio in outside tools (iZotope RX, Audition, etc.), but the finished edit must live in the **iMovie** project, with the processed audio brought back in. ## Deliverables 1. A final MP4 at the same resolution and frame rate as the rough cut, loudness around -16 LUFS 2. The updated **iMovie project and library**, zipped. It must open in iMovie with no missing media. 3. Short notes listing what you changed, plus any proposed image removals with timestamps Share the MP4 and the zipped library through a **downloadable link** (Box, Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer). **Hard deadline: Sep 28, 11:00 AM Eastern Time.** Both files must be downloadable by then. Plan for one quick approval round on any proposed image removals before that. ## How we'll judge it - The narration sounds like one clean, consistent voice track, and the field takes no longer stand out - The message and the order are unchanged - Transitions feel natural and on-beat - Text reads easily on a phone - Both files download and the iMovie library opens cleanly The rough cut and project files are shared once you're hired. --- **Hiring:** up to 1 freelancer for this listing, each delivering 1 unit. **Turnaround:** 72 hours from award. **Payment:** budget up to $150 per freelancer; you are paid the amount you bid, in one milestone, released when the work is approved. **Please answer in your bid:** 1. Share a link to a piece where you cleaned up noisy narration or dialogue, ideally with a before/after, and tell us which tools you used. 2. Have you had to match voice recorded in a studio with voice recorded on location? Link the example and describe in one or two sentences how you made them sit together. 3. Do you edit in iMovie on your own Mac, and can you confirm you'll have the finished MP4 and the updated iMovie library downloadable by Sep 28, 11:00 AM Eastern? **Source material:** a link sent in chat to each hired freelancer right after the award.

Hello, As an experienced video editor skilled in iMovie with a knack for audio cleanup and keen eye for transitions, I believe I am the ideal candidate for this project. Throughout my diverse career, I’ve lent my technical talents to producing high-quality visuals and have deep expertise in enhancing audio quality to produce a seamless final product. I also have experience matching voice recorded in controlled environments like studios with those recorded on-location. Take a look at this piece [include link] where I erased all noisy disturbances from the original recording and restored it into a clean, professional narrated piece. To achieve this, I employed tools like iZotope RX to effectively tackle background noise and adjust levels to match the distinct tones of both locations. My familiarity with iMovie on Mac is second to none. Rest assured, I can conclude this task within your specified timeframe - delivering a polished 90-second video, precisely balanced, appropriately timed to narrations' beats and more readable texts. For optimum clarity, goodwill propose any prospective image exclusions backed up with time-stamps and logical explanations before making any cut. Choosing me for this assignment grants you access to significant skill sets that encompass creative storytelling, concept designing, technical expertise, and full-stack development. Let's work together to transform your venture firm's 90-second video into a finishe Thanks!

You have the locked 90-second cut plus the full iMovie project and library, and the story stays exactly as it is. The real job is the audio, evening out narration recorded in a podcast studio against takes recorded on location with no treatment. Your brief does not say whether I can take the audio out to a proper repair tool and bring it back, or whether everything has to stay inside iMovie, and it does not name the final delivery spec. I settle both with you first. I match levels across every scene, clean the field recordings, sit the music under the voice without it fighting the narration, and tidy the transitions so none of them call attention to themselves. Three rounds of revision, master plus the returned iMovie project in 5 days. Audio post and video finishing are the daily work at Azabache Producciones.

Hello, This is not an AI bid; this is a self response. Your 90-second venture-firm video is ready for a precise finishing pass, and I can preserve the locked story while making the narration feel like one polished voice. I will clean and balance the studio and location recordings, control music beneath the voice, refine transitions to the narrative beats, and improve overlay readability on phones without cluttering the existing look. I will work carefully within the iMovie project, returning a clean MP4 at the original resolution and frame rate, the zipped iMovie library with media intact, and concise change notes. My Video Editing workflow will follow the existing Storyboard exactly, with any pacing suggestion timestamped for approval rather than cut unilaterally. Please share the rough cut and confirm the available iMovie version so I can begin immediately and meet the Sep 28, 11:00 AM Eastern deadline within 72 hours. Could you confirm the source resolution, frame rate, and iMovie version so I can preserve technical settings while targeting approximately -16 LUFS? Best regards, Sahil

A POLISHED VOICE TRACK WILL MAKE THE WHOLE STORY FEEL PROFESSIONAL. Hi, I can take the locked 90 second rough cut through the finishing stage without changing the story, narration, or sequence. My main focus would be cleaning and balancing the narration so the studio and location recordings feel like one consistent voice, while keeping music and ambience controlled underneath without clipping. I can use tools such as Audition or iZotope RX for noise reduction, EQ, leveling, and cleanup, then bring the processed audio back into the iMovie project. I’ll also refine transitions and overlay text while keeping the existing visual direction intact. If I feel an image should be removed for pacing, I’ll provide the timestamp and reason for approval rather than cutting it without permission. I can work within the $150 budget and the 72 hour turnaround. I do want to be transparent that I would need to confirm access to a Mac with iMovie before accepting, since the final library must open cleanly in iMovie. I can provide relevant audio cleanup samples and explain the tools used. Best regards, Hamza

Hello, I can take your locked 90-second rough cut through the finishing stage, with the main focus on making the narration clean, consistent, and professional while preserving the existing story and sequence. I can handle: • Noise reduction and cleanup of location-recorded dialogue • EQ, level matching, compression, and tone balancing between recordings • Final mix targeting approximately -16 LUFS with no clipping • Smoother transitions timed to narration beats • Mobile-readable overlay text refinements • Pacing review, with timestamped recommendations before any image is removed • Final MP4 at the original resolution/frame rate • Organized project handoff and concise change notes I’m comfortable with detailed audio/video post-production workflows, but I want to be transparent about your screening requirements: I won’t invent a previous before/after narration link or claim an existing client example that I cannot verify. Also, your requirement specifically needs the finished project delivered as a working iMovie library from a Mac. I would only confirm that requirement and the Sep 28 deadline if I have the necessary Mac/iMovie environment available for the project. If those credentials/environment requirements are flexible, I can handle the editing and audio-finishing work itself.
