We’re building a multi-channel media company under the Midas Media brand, and are looking for a
motion graphics designer
to create a
scalable motion system built specifically for Final Cut Pro
.

This is not a typical freelance role.

We are not looking for one-off animations.

We are building a
complete, reusable motion graphics system
that integrates directly into our editing workflow.

The Role

Your responsibility is to design and deliver a
modular motion graphics library using Apple Motion
, fully optimized for Final Cut Pro.

This system will be used across:

• YouTube (Tech, Gaming, Fitness)
• Short-form content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
• Future digital products

The goal is to create
plug-and-play templates
that editors can use instantly without needing to rebuild assets.

What You’ll Be Creating

Core System (Used in Every Video)

• Title cards and section dividers
• Lower thirds (names, products, key points)
• Text emphasis animations (clean, minimal, fast)

Tech / Gaming System

• Spec cards (FPS, latency, battery, pricing)
• Comparison layouts (A vs B, pros/cons)
• UI-style overlays (device frames, highlights, callouts)

Fitness / Performance System

This is a major part of our brand and requires a dedicated motion system.

You will design motion graphics for:

• Follow-along workouts
• Timed training sessions
• Performance tracking

Including:

• Exercise name overlays
• Rep counters / timers (countdown + interval)
• Set progress indicators
• Workout progress bars
• Rest timers
• “Next exercise” transitions
• Minimal on-screen cues for form guidance

These must be:

• Extremely clear and readable
• Fast to update for different workouts
• Designed for real-time follow-along usability

Data Visualization Elements

• Performance bars
• Network/connection indicators
• Simple visual feedback systems

Transitions

• Clean, subtle transitions

Deliverables

All assets must be delivered as:

• Apple Motion templates (.moti, .motn, .motr)
• Fully organized and labeled files
• Installed and tested inside Final Cut Pro

Each template must include
exposed parameters
so editors can easily adjust:

• Text (titles, labels, values)
• Colors (primary, secondary, accent)
• Layout (position, scale, alignment)
• Toggles (show/hide elements, variations)

Editors should be able to use everything
directly inside Final Cut Pro without additional software
.

Style Direction

We want:

• Clean
• Premium
• Functional

Reference direction:

• Apple product visuals
• High-end UI motion
• Clean tech content (information-first, not effect-heavy)

What We’re Looking For

You are someone who:

• Has strong experience with Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro workflows
• Thinks in systems, not one-off designs
• Understands how to build reusable templates for teams
• Prioritizes clarity, speed, and consistency
• Can design motion that enhances content without distracting

This Role Is NOT For

• After Effects-only designers who cannot deliver Final Cut–ready templates
• Editors who “also do motion” but lack system-level thinking
• Designers focused on flashy or over-animated styles

Engagement Structure

Phase 1:

• Project-based engagement focused on building the full motion graphics system.

Phase 2 (Optional):

• Ongoing support for new templates, updates, or refinements on a need basis only . This is not a fixed retainer and will be scoped per request.

Ownership & Usage

All work created will be:

• Fully owned by our company
• Exclusive to our internal team
• Not resold, reused, or redistributed
