Video editor (motion graphics)

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build short videos (under 1 min) and long videos (10–15 min) in After Effects from the client's illustration assets, scripts and voice tracks.
• Animate characters with simple, efficient techniques: mouth-flap lip-sync, slides, shakes, zooms, squash and stretch, blinks.
• Add camera work (pans, push-ins, cuts) and keep the brisk pacing short-form anime requires.
• Place captions (telop) and onomatopoeia text, timed to the audio, using the pre-processed timing sheet provided.
• Add background music and sound effects from the client library, and balance levels.
• Follow the client's production manual and style references exactly; reuse templates, presets and precomps rather than rebuilding.
• Export to spec, name and upload files correctly, and log time spent per finished minute.
• Apply revision notes from review tools (e.g. Frame.io) within the agreed turnaround.
• Flag unclear script lines, missing assets or timing issues early to the Production Lead.

Requirements

Requirements

Must have

• 1+ year of hands-on After Effects work (keyframes, precomps, masks, expressions basics, Puppet tool)
• A portfolio or reel showing character or motion-graphics edits for YouTube, TikTok or Reels
• Working knowledge of Photoshop layered files (PSD import, layer prep)
• Good sense of comedic timing and rhythm for short-form content
• Ability to follow a style manual precisely and repeat it at volume
• Clear written English for briefs and feedback

Nice to have

• A genuine interest in manga and anime — manga fans are more than welcome! Experience with anime, manga, VTuber or webtoon-style content is a big plus
• Lip-sync automation tools or scripts (e.g. Auto Lip-Sync, Joysticks 'n Sliders, Duik)
• Premiere Pro or audio editing for BGM/SE mixing
• Basic Japanese is a strong plus, as it makes editing and syncing captions, lip-sync and onomatopoeia to the audio much faster
• Experience working in a production pipeline with daily quotas

Benefits

Work setup

• Fully onsite, core hours overlapping Japan business hours (JST, 1 hour ahead of Manila)
• Review and feedback through a shared review tool
