Video Editor on Caffeine

We are The Adrenal Foundation, a nonprofit focused on caffeine, adrenal health, and nervous system education. We’re releasing a free 5‑hour YouTube audiobook/video of “The Truth About Caffeine” and need help with both design and editing.
We are open to nonprofit‑friendly pricing and/or pro‑bono support for the right creative collaborator.
What we need1) YouTube cover image (designer)
Create a 16:9 YouTube cover / static video background that will stay on screen for the full 5 hours.
Requirements:
Size: 1920×1080 (or higher), 16:9
Text:
Main title (largest):
“The Truth About Caffeine”
Subtitle (medium):
“Addiction, Anxiety, Sleep, Heart, Cancer”
Format badge (bold):
“FULL AUDIOBOOK – 5 HOURS – WITH CHAPTERS”
Copyright line (small, bottom):
“© Superior Mutual 2026”
Visual direction:
Mood: serious, science‑based health / addiction education (not cozy coffee shop vibes).
Dark background (charcoal / midnight blue / very dark brown) with high‑contrast text.
Accent colors like neon/toxic green or warning yellow to suggest “stimulant / hazard.”
Book cover (or a redesigned cover graphic) as the central element.
Optional minimal icons: coffee cup silhouette, heartbeat/ECG line, simple brain/nerve pattern.
Waveform / audiogram element:
Include a horizontal audio waveform (clean vector) across the image—either under the subtitle/around the cover or along the lower third.
It should clearly read as “audio” and be simple enough to animate in the future.
Deliverables:
Final PNG/JPEG (1920×1080).
Source file (PSD/AI/Figma) with separate layers for background, text, waveform, and graphics.
2) 5‑hour video edit (video editor)
We will provide:
Finished 5‑hour audio (intro + full audiobook).
The designed cover image from part 1.
A list of chapter titles and timestamps.
Scripted midroll and end CTA (about our Unwired app + podcast).
Your tasks:
Build a 5:00:00 YouTube‑ready video using the static cover image as the main visual.
Add chapter markers using our timestamps (YouTube‑compatible format in the description so the progress bar shows segments).
Add our midroll CTA (audio is in the main track) with simple on‑screen text lower‑thirds (e.g., “Unwired app – 1:1 coaching – join the waitlist”).
Add our end CTA with on‑screen text (Unwired app + podcast).
Ensure clean audio levels, no harsh jumps, and simple fades at the beginning and end.
Optionally: prepare or align captions (.srt) for English if you offer that.
Project goals
Help people understand the real impact of caffeine on anxiety, sleep, heart, hormones, kids, and long‑term health.
Make a 5‑hour video that’s easy to navigate with chapters, timestamps, and a clear progress bar.
Drive viewers who see themselves in the stories to:
Join the Unwired app waitlist (caffeine cessation app with 1:1 coaching).
Listen to the Unwired podcast featuring 40 real caffeine addiction case studies.
What we’re looking for
Designer: Strong thumbnail/cover design samples, especially for YouTube, podcasts, or audiobooks.
Editor: Experience with long‑form YouTube content, chapter markers, and basic typography for on‑screen text.
Comfortable working with a health nonprofit; open to nonprofit‑friendly or partial pro‑bono rates.
How to apply
Please include:
A short note on whether you’re applying as a designer, editor, or both.
3–5 links to relevant work (YouTube covers, podcast art, audiograms, long‑form edits).
Your rate or package idea for this project (noting any nonprofit discount).
Approximate turnaround time once assets are provided.
We’re ready to move quickly and would like to complete this project in the near term.
