Overview

micro1 is looking for DaVinci Resolve Editor / Colorists to support a unique project that trains AI systems through video data annotation. Your post-production expertise will directly shape how AI models learn from real-world footage. No AI background is needed, just your domain knowledge. This remote contractor role suits entry-level or mid-level professionals who want to apply their editing and color grading skills beyond traditional workflows.

What You'll Do7

  • Annotate video data in DaVinci Resolve, following detailed project guidelines to maintain accuracy and consistency.
  • Use your color correction and grading knowledge to evaluate and interpret footage characteristics.
  • Review, label, and comment on video clips to provide structured data for AI model training.
  • Assess audiovisual content for quality, clarity, and technical attributes based on specified parameters.
  • Collaborate remotely with project coordinators and share feedback on annotation processes and tools.
  • Document your decision-making approaches and communicate insights to support model improvement.
  • Meet project milestones and follow submission protocols.

Requirements7

  • Hands-on experience with DaVinci Resolve in a post-production setting.
  • Solid grasp of video editing, color correction, and grading fundamentals.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with attention to detail in annotations.
  • Familiarity with digital video formats and technical specifications.
  • Interest or background in data annotation or structured labeling is a plus but not required.
  • Ability to work independently, stay organized, and follow complex instructions.
  • Openness to feedback and willingness to adapt annotation strategies as project needs change.

Who Should Apply

This role fits editors and colorists who are comfortable with DaVinci Resolve and want to see their craft used in AI training. If you have a sharp eye for footage quality and can explain your grading choices clearly, you will do well here. The role is less suited for those who prefer creative freedom over following strict annotation guidelines. Candidates often miss out when they lack hands-on DaVinci Resolve experience or cannot demonstrate clear written communication in their application.
