You will assess video outputs for editing quality, pacing, continuity, transitions, color grading, audio synchronization, storytelling, technical specifications, and overall production standards. You will identify editing errors, provide precise written feedback, compare multiple video outputs, and help establish consistent quality expectations across video editing and AI training projects.

Your professional video editing expertise will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by making their video understanding, editing, and generation capabilities more accurate, consistent, and aligned with professional production standards.

• Advanced proficiency in at least two non-linear editing (NLE) systems, with Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve strongly preferred. Experience with Avid Media Composer or Final Cut Pro is also valuable.
• Deep understanding of editing fundamentals, including pacing, continuity, shot selection, narrative structure, transitions, visual composition, and storytelling.
• Strong knowledge of video technical standards, including frame rates, resolutions, codecs, containers, aspect ratios, color spaces, export settings, and broadcast/digital delivery specifications.
• Ability to identify subtle editing defects, including jump cuts, continuity errors, dropped frames, audio drift, inconsistent color, compression artifacts, inappropriate transitions, and technical delivery issues.
• Strong analytical judgment and attention to detail, with the ability to explain why an edit does or does not meet professional standards.
• Reliable, self-directed, and able to maintain consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor environment across time zones.
