Video Editor

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Video Editor based in Brazil.

Join a remote, AI-focused environment where your professional video editing expertise will help shape the next generation of advanced AI models. In this role, you will evaluate both AI-generated and human-edited video content, ensuring it meets professional standards for creative quality and technical accuracy. You will apply your post-production knowledge to identify editing flaws, assess visual consistency, and evaluate storytelling, pacing, sound, and continuity. Your insights will contribute to the development of high-quality AI training data and more reliable video generation capabilities. Working as an independent contractor, you will enjoy a flexible schedule while collaborating on projects that require precision, critical thinking, and industry expertise. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced editor who combines creative judgment with a strong understanding of technical quality assurance.

As a Video Editor and Quality Assurance Specialist, you will assess video content against professional production standards, provide structured feedback, and help improve the quality of AI-generated outputs. Your responsibilities will include:

• Review human-edited and AI-generated videos for pacing, continuity, transitions, shot selection, storytelling, visual consistency, and overall production quality.

• Conduct technical quality checks to identify frame-rate inconsistencies, dropped frames, codec issues, color mismatches, audio synchronization problems, compression artifacts, and export defects.

• Compare AI-generated video outputs to identify visual artifacts, unnatural motion, temporal inconsistencies, continuity issues, and editing-quality problems.

• Develop expert-level editing scenarios, reference examples, quality assessments, and structured feedback to support AI training projects.

• Verify that video deliverables comply with creative briefs, editing instructions, style guides, technical specifications, and project-specific evaluation criteria.

• Document editing errors clearly, explain their impact on the final output, and recommend appropriate corrections using professional editing terminology.

• Support quality calibration by helping establish consistent evaluation standards across reviewers, editors, and video assessment workflows.

• Ensure reviewed content meets professional expectations for visual storytelling, audiovisual coherence, technical delivery, and production quality.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate will bring substantial professional video editing experience, advanced technical knowledge, and the ability to assess creative work objectively. The following qualifications are required or preferred:

• At least 5 years of professional video editing experience in film, television, broadcast, advertising, commercial production, digital media, or a related post-production environment.

• English proficiency at C1–C2 level, with the ability to understand complex guidelines and provide detailed, precise written evaluations in English.

• Advanced proficiency in at least two non-linear editing systems, with Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve strongly preferred. Experience with Avid Media Composer or Final Cut Pro is also valuable.

• Previous experience as a Lead Editor, Senior Video Editor, Post-Production Supervisor, QC Coordinator, or in a comparable quality-focused role.

• A professional video demo reel or portfolio with a working, shareable link is mandatory for the selection process. The portfolio should demonstrate professional editing capabilities, ideally through commercial, broadcast, film, television, or advanced digital video projects.

• Strong understanding of editing fundamentals, including pacing, continuity, shot selection, narrative structure, transitions, visual composition, and storytelling.

• In-depth knowledge of technical video standards, including frame rates, resolutions, codecs, containers, aspect ratios, color spaces, export settings, and broadcast or digital delivery specifications.

• Experience with color correction and grading, audio editing, synchronization, sound mixing, subtitles, captions, and motion graphics.

• 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.

• Excellent analytical judgment and attention to detail, with the ability to explain why an edit meets or falls short of professional standards.

• Experience reviewing other editors' work, providing structured feedback, conducting technical quality control, or supervising post-production workflows.

• A reliable, self-directed working style and the ability to maintain consistent quality in a remote contractor environment across time zones.

• Previous experience with AI-generated video evaluation, AI data training, video annotation, multimedia quality assurance, or rubric-based evaluation is a strong advantage.

Benefits:

• Hourly compensation: USD 45–50 per hour.

• Remote work: Fully remote position, with Brazil listed as the hiring location.

• Flexible schedule: Approximately 15 hours per week, with the freedom to choose your working hours and days, including weekends, provided work activity is maintained.

• Independent contractor arrangement: Hourly contract offering flexibility in how you organize your work.

• Meaningful impact: Apply your video editing expertise to AI training projects that help improve video understanding, editing, and generation capabilities.

• Expert-level contribution: Help define quality standards and provide professional insights that influence the development of advanced AI systems.
