Video Editor & Post Production Expert

About the role

<p>Video editors in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects to evaluate video generation and demonstrate timeline workflows for frontier AI labs.</p>

<p><strong>What you'll actually do</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Author realistic post production scenarios from raw footage through final cut, the kind a working editor would actually receive.</li>

<li>Write reference critiques with the editorial reasoning behind each cut, from pacing and continuity to color and sound.</li>

<li>Grade generated video for continuity, pacing, motion quality, and whether it would survive a client review.</li>

<li>Demonstrate timeline workflows in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects the way editors actually work.</li>
