Film & Video Editor - AI Trainer

📋 Description

• • Are you a seasoned video editing professional with a deep understanding of post-production workflows and a particular affinity for the Shotcut editing software? Handshake Technologies, Inc. is extending a unique opportunity for individuals with your specialized skills to contribute to the cutting edge of Artificial Intelligence research. This is not a conventional employment role, but rather a flexible, project-based contract position designed to leverage your practical expertise in a novel way.
• • In this role, you will become an integral part of our AI training initiative, acting as a crucial evaluator and feedback provider for AI systems being developed to understand and execute complex video editing tasks. Your day-to-day activities will involve meticulously reviewing AI-generated content, assessing its accuracy, relevance, and adherence to real-world editing standards. This feedback loop is vital for refining AI algorithms, enabling them to better grasp the nuances of video editing, color correction, audio synchronization, and overall post-production finishing.
• • Your contributions will directly influence the development of AI tools that aim to streamline and enhance video production processes. You will be tasked with formulating insightful questions related to editing tools and workflows, and then critically evaluating the AI's responses to these queries. This requires not just technical proficiency but also a keen analytical mind capable of identifying subtle errors or areas for improvement in the AI's understanding.
• • This opportunity is ideal for individuals who have a strong background in video editing, filmmaking, or broadcasting, and who possess hands-on experience with Shotcut. Whether your experience stems from professional freelance work, personal creative projects, or a role in a production environment, your practical knowledge is highly valued. We are particularly interested in candidates who have spent at least three years actively using Shotcut, though experience with similar open-source editors like OpenShot is also considered a valuable asset.
• • The scope of your involvement can encompass various aspects of post-production. This includes, but is not limited to, advanced timeline editing, the application of sophisticated filter effects, meticulous color correction to achieve desired aesthetics, ensuring seamless audio synchronization with visual elements, and performing final post-production touches to polish the video content. Furthermore, if you have experience in annotating or labeling video assets, or in systematically reviewing video content for quality assurance, consistency, and accuracy, your skills will be highly applicable.
• • This is a fully remote, independent contractor position, offering unparalleled flexibility. You can undertake this work from anywhere in the USA, provided you have a stable internet connection and a functional desktop or laptop computer. The schedule is entirely asynchronous, meaning you can work on your own time without any minimum hour commitments. Many contributors find that they can comfortably dedicate between 5 to 20 hours per week to active projects, making this an excellent way to supplement existing work or pursue personal projects.
• • The Handshake AI program operates year-round, with new projects becoming available periodically across diverse areas of expertise. Your placement into specific projects will depend on current needs and your unique skill set. This ongoing nature ensures that there are consistent opportunities for engagement, and you will be considered for future projects as they arise, allowing for a sustained contribution to AI development.
• • No prior experience with Artificial Intelligence or advanced technical AI training is necessary. Your existing video editing expertise is the primary qualification we seek. We are looking for individuals who can apply their practical knowledge to help an AI learn and improve. This role is about translating human expertise into actionable data for machine learning models.
• • The application process is straightforward: create a Handshake account, upload your resume, verify your identity, and you will be matched with relevant projects. Once onboarded, you can begin contributing and earning. This is a chance to be at the forefront of AI innovation, applying your creative and technical skills in a new and impactful domain. Your attention to detail and ability to follow written guidelines will be paramount in ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the AI training data you help generate. This role offers a unique blend of creative application and analytical contribution, making it a compelling opportunity for skilled video editors.
