Motion Graphics Editor Job in Pakistan – Apply Now Freelance

Job Overview

If you are looking for a job as a Motion Graphics Editor, where you can be working from home in Pakistan? This is a completely work from home job, paid on hourly basis. This video production company in Dubai produces videos for big companies in America, UK and the Middle East region and now they need an individual who can design and animate videos. No need of reporting to any one; just finish up the assigned tasks.

 

 

You create all the video by yourself in this case; nobody gives you finished graphics to animate or a script just to put together. You receive a brief and then create whatever you need to according to this brief. Such approach is convenient for those who are experienced enough in After Effects and want to earn money working with foreign clients remotely.

The majority of Pakistani editors will have worked on other people’s designs for many years. But in this position, it all changes around. You become the designer and animator yourself, thereby giving you greater input into what the finished video ends up looking like. In other words, there’s no design team getting in between your vision and the finished product; your work sells itself. And such control over a project is very uncommon in a regular nine-to-five environment.

A Day in the Life

Every morning begins with going through new briefs that are sent by the client. It could be anything, such as a 30-second promo for some skincare company or even an animated explanation about some tech company which is not known to anyone in Pakistan. You open up After Effects and start designing an animation, which begins with just a rough sketch of what needs to be created. No ready designs are sent to you. Everything begins from scratch.

Afternoons consist mostly of making everything come together. Timing is fine-tuned. Transitions are made smooth. Little things that people don’t consciously pay attention to, but which help videos feel polished rather than stiff. After comes the export process – one last check before sending the file out before the deadline. In one week you may have just one large project, which consumes all of your afternoon time. Next week you may suddenly be given three projects all at once. For a Motion Graphics Editor in this kind of job, haste makes waste.

This freelance motion graphics editor job has no set clocking-in time. The early birds complete their work before the sun rises, while the night birds complete theirs after the clock strikes twelve. This liberty cannot be found in the majority of video editing jobs that exist in Pakistan and hence makes people prefer to do freelance motion graphics work after experiencing it.

Once you finish with one assignment, there will always be another assignment waiting for you in your inbox. Organizing yourself becomes more important than one realizes. Version numbers, the file name of the video, what was the final cut of the video. Get this wrong, and even your great work will become a problem. However, give it some time, and it all will come naturally.

Salary Breakdown by Experience Level

The above rates are only estimates, which may vary depending on actual salary from the employer.

•           Beginner: Rs. 3.5k to Rs. 4.5k per hour depending on speed and efficiency

•           Intermediate: Rs. 4.5k to Rs. 6k per hour, when you develop a portfolio and improve speed

•           Advanced: Rs. 6k and above per hour, for experienced editors

As this job requires freelancing, your total monthly income is greatly dependent on the number of jobs that you can manage and the rate at which you complete them. An editor managing three to four projects a week will naturally earn more than an editor working on only one. Quality also matters. Clients will continue using the services of an editor who does not require them to fix anything twice.

FAQ

Am I required to have any previous experience to apply for the position of Motion Graphics Editor?

In this case, previous experience of working on motion graphics or videos is very important because the candidate will have to do all animation work by himself, and hence previous experience, to some extent, will help him get selected or not for this position.

Is this a position of Motion Graphics Editor an off-site or on-site one?

This is completely off-site. All that is required of a candidate is just a laptop, an Internet connection and the After Effects software. Wherever a candidate lives, be it Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or anything in-between, does not matter at all.

How is the pay determined for this position?

The payment is hourly/freelance, based on the rates you charge and how productive you are. The more editors that consistently produce high-quality work quickly will receive more offers in the long run.

Do I have to be knowledgeable about both design and animation?

Yes, there is no one in this position that will provide you with complete graphics to animate. You will have to create them by yourself, and then animate. If you have worked only with templates before, expect a brief learning period for working with empty canvas.

How much time will it take?

With regards to such freelance recruitment, it is faster compared to the regular office recruitment procedure. Once your portfolio receives the approval and the rate, it will be followed by a rush of briefs of different projects. There won’t be any lengthy interview sessions and paperwork involved.

What do I need to start work as a Motion Graphics Editor?

The essential thing needed by the Motion Graphics Editor is the After Effects software. Apart from it, all one needs is a computer that does not crash during the rendering process and a high-speed internet connection. Although many of the Motion Graphics Editors have the added advantage of using the Premiere Pro, most of the work would be carried out via After Effects.
