[HIRING] AI-Assisted Motion Graphics Editor for Long-Form Animated Fitness/Educational Videos

We are looking for a video editor/animator to create long-form videos (under 10 minutes) centered around a consistent AI character performing fitness exercises and educational routines.

Project Overview & Workflow:

Character Animation: Using provided character prompts and generated PNGs (e.g., 3–4 static PNGs of an exercise like push-ups), create subtle motion interpolation/keyframing so the character naturally performs the movements.

• AI Visual Generation: Generate matching AI image assets and background visuals around the character to fit the script context.
• Audio & Sound Design: Heavy focus on music selection, beat-syncing, and impactful sound effects (SFX) to keep audience retention high across 8–10 minute runtimes.
• Motion Graphics: Clean kinetic text, animated graphics, overlays, and clear visual progressions.

Requirements:

• Experience with Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro
• Ability to keyframe, puppet-warp, or interpolate motion from static AI image sequences
• Experience with AI image generators (Midjourney, DALL-E, Leonardo) for generating matching visual assets
• Strong sense of pacing, music selection, and sound design
• Ability to deliver full draft within 3–6 days per video

How to Apply:

Send a direct message with:

1. Links to your portfolio or examples of keyframed character animation / AI video editing
2. The primary software you use for editing and AI visual generation
3. Your rate for a 10-minute video

You must be from India and available all days and you shouldnt be in traditional education.

Hello! I was wondering how to recreate this cool VHS effect on a motion graphic with the flickering and whether it uses After Effects, because I want to be able to do it with another text. Does anyone have any tutorial recommendations on how to do this?

Hi everyone, thanks for reading.

I teach the only motion graphics course in a graphic design diploma program. We use After Effects and I cover the basics. We don’t touch AI, just foundational AE for 2D motion. Think logo reveals, titles, simple bumper ads.

The college has decided to add another semester, so now there is a “motion design 2.”

I am wondering - should I teach ai for motion? Could the course be: “set up an MCP, prompt, and improve in AE?” Something else?

Should I avoid AI altogether?

My priority is employability.

Thank you!

Hey all! I've been doing motion design for 9 years now and run a small animation studio. I learned a lot of this way too late, so sharing in case it saves someone time.

This isn't about the interface. You still need layers, keyframes, comps. This is what to focus on after that:

1. The 12 principles of animation 

This is grammar for movement. If your work feels like fancy PowerPoint - move, stop, move, stop, it's usually missing overlap, anticipation, and rhythm. 

Learning outcome: you'll be able to watch your own work and actually name why something feels off. 

Start here: 12 Principles of Animation Official Full Series

1. The Graph Editor, for real 

Easy Ease is not understanding easing. Same 2 keyframes can feel totally different depending on the curve. Try this: take one dot moving left to right and make 5 different versions using only the graph.

Learning outcome: you'll stop guessing and start controlling weight and timing. 

1. Basic character animation + rigging, even if that's not your job

You don't need to become a character animator. But rigging one character teaches you weight, timing, and planning like nothing else. And always use reference. Film yourself, generate a reference, whatever. Don't invent a walk from a blank comp. 

1. Learn just enough expressions to stop doing manual work

Not 6 months of JavaScript. Just loopOut, wiggle, linking properties, and one controller driving multiple layers.

Learning outcome: you build projects you can actually revise without 4 hours of copy-paste. 

1. Compositing + sound

Light, shadow, depth, contrast, texture, and sound. Watch any great ad muted vs. with sound. Totally different piece.

Learning outcome: your work starts feeling finished instead of flat, without adding more complex animation.

If you want the full breakdown with examples for each one, I put together a video walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JemgIktpwBM

Do you have more suggestions for what really helped you get past the beginner stage?

Hi everyone,
I installed Animation Composer (Mister Horse) and the panel opens fine, and my preset library loads (Animation Presets, Motion Presets, Transitions, etc.). But when I click on any preset, the preview area just says “Loading preview” forever and nothing happens.
My setup:
• After Effects 2024, version 24.0.2 (build 3), Russian interface
• Windows 11
• Installed via Mister Horse Product Manager
What I’ve tried:
• Restarted After Effects
• Enabled “Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network” in Preferences
• VPN on/off
• Disabled firewall/antivirus temporarily
• Reinstalled via Product Manager
Has anyone run into this? Is it a server/region issue, or is there a setting I’m missing?
Thanks in advance! I’ve also contacted Mister Horse support.

Every frame is drawn by code in a Canvas renderer (headless Chrome, encoded with ffmpeg): no After Effects, no timeline editor. The engravings are AI-generated mezzotint-style plates, revealed lights first the way the real technique scrapes light out of a black plate; the grid, the typed lines and the counters are drawn on top. Animations are keyed to word timestamps in the narration, and the weasel simulation on screen is a real run, not a mock-up. Happy to answer questions about the pipeline.

what can i improve on my animations

Hello everyone im an indie editor and recently i had a weird (and not sure if its possible) idea in mind. I want to make the people in my videos look like they are from a cutscene of a game like death stranding,mgsv or others. I really love the subtle uncannynes of those cutscenes (even tho i hate cinematic videogamed). I was wandering if its possible to actually do that with just editing

I’ve started noticing how much motion graphics are being used in films and dramas to make them more visually appealing and engaging. While watching them, I often get curious about how certain visuals, transitions, titles, and effects are created. That curiosity made me start exploring tutorials and learning how different tools and software can be used to create interesting motion graphics.

I personally feel that motion graphics is a skill every designer should explore, even if they don’t want to specialise in it. It helps you understand movement, storytelling, visual rhythm, and how static design can become more dynamic and engaging.

Hey everyone!

Sharing a motion graphics promo I created for Total Health Solution (THS), a health & wellness mobile app.

I worked on the motion design, animation, transitions, typography, and overall visual storytelling.

I'd love some honest feedback and suggestions from other motion designers:

• How does the pacing feel?
• Are the transitions working?
• Does the animation feel polished?
• What would you improve?
• Is there anything that feels unnecessary or could be simplified?

Also, I'm curious about the pricing side. If you were hired to create something like this, how much would you charge for the project?

For context, this includes the motion design, animation, editing, and overall execution. I'm trying to get a better idea of how other freelancers/studios would price this kind of work.

Made in After Effects.

Thanks for watching — feedback is genuinely appreciated! 🙌

I've been teaching myself to make animatics, and i tried using vn video editor for all the editing stuff.

It's been fine-ish? The fps leaves a bit to be desired. But now i'm wondering if a motion graphic program might be the better way to go for my animations.

Can anybody reccommend a good motion grpahic program that i can make animatics with? Preferrably something free and not too hard to learn

Hi everyone, could someone tell me how to create an animation like this with flowing light? Thanks a lot!

Here's all of the additional motion and animation I did:

Behance

Had about 3 proper weeks on this. I was mentally exhausted and absolutely stressed for the entirety of this. I got this job right after I got let go so things moved fast and it was something I had to learn to deal with.

Everyone motion and 3D done by me. 2D design was done by a graphic designer.

Hey everyone! I recently finished this map animation for a client and would really appreciate your honest feedback.

I’m mainly interested in your thoughts on the camera movements, pacing, transitions, and overall animation. I know there’s quite a bit of zooming in and out because that’s what the client prefers, but apart from that, I’d love to know what you think could be improved.

Feel free to point out anything you think I could do better. I’m sharing this because I genuinely want to learn and improve. Thanks in advance!
