About the role
Video Editing Assessment
Type: Contract, hourly
Location: Remote (Philippines)
Schedule: Flexible
About the work: You'll watch videos 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. Some hands-on editing work may be added later.
What you'll do:
- Watch videos and assess how they're edited
- 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 TVStrong 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
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
How to apply: Send your CV and reel, plus your expected hourly rate.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
