The work

You will help improve AI systems that handle professional video-editing work. You will create realistic editing tasks, review AI-generated responses, and explain how well they meet professional standards.

The work covers editing, post-production, motion graphics, audio, color, and content-creation workflows.

  • Create tasks involving timeline editing, trimming, multitrack layering, transitions, effects, titles, animation, audio syncing, mixing, color adjustments, and exporting.
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for quality, accuracy, and professional usefulness.
  • Find errors or weaknesses in editing workflows and explain them clearly.
  • Write structured feedback that can help improve AI model performance.
  • Apply judgment across video editing, post-production, motion graphics, and content creation.

What it pays and takes

This is ongoing, project-based work completed remotely and independently. You can work at your own pace, with no set schedule stated for the role.

  • Pay: up to $125 per hour.
  • Time: 20+ hours per week.
  • Location: Open to candidates in the United States.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree or higher.
  • Experience: At least two years using OpenShot or an equivalent video-editing tool.
  • Professional background: Experience at a production studio, marketing or media agency, broadcast company, or streaming company.
