About the work
You’ll watch videos, edit and judge how well they’re put together - whether the story holds up, whether the cuts work, whether the pacing carries. You’ll write out your reasoning in detail. That written judgment is used to train an AI system, so we need real editorial thinking, not a rating out of ten.
What you’ll do
Watch videos and assess how they’re edited
Edit videos and make adjustments to cuts, pacing, sequencing, and overall flow
Identify problems: awkward jump cuts, broken continuity, pacing that drags or rushes
Judge whether the story or sequence actually makes sense
Write clear explanations of what works, what doesn’t, and why
Point to specific moments rather than giving general impressions
What we’re looking for
Professional editing experience in long-form work: short film, documentary, wedding films, long-form YouTube, or TV
Strong DaVinci Resolve skills - this is the main software
Fluent English, spoken and written
Able to explain your editorial reasoning in writing, not just do the cut
A reel or portfolio including pieces over five minutes
Helpful but not required
Colour grading or sound experience
Experience taking structured notes from a director or producer
Experience with video editing beyond basic cuts
Details
Hourly rate, paid based on hours worked
Ongoing work with room to grow - this is expected to be a long-running project
Fully remote, flexible hours
Requires a computer that runs DaVinci Resolve comfortably and a stable internet connection
