Overview
Mercor needs DaVinci Resolve users who work on a Mac and can open the application right now. You supply your own license and hardware, since the company does not provide software, virtual machines, or machines. The work centers on color grading and video editing in DaVinci Resolve, with a remote setup and pay of $30 to $40 per hour. Your capture setup must meet a strict standard: screenshots need more than 2.5 megapixels, which comes from a qualifying high-resolution monitor or a dual-monitor span. A single 1080p display does not qualify on its own.
What You'll Do6
- Use DaVinci Resolve on macOS for assigned post-production tasks, including color grading and video editing.
- Capture screenshots above the 2.5-megapixel threshold with a compliant monitor arrangement.
- Confirm your Mac and display setup meet Mercor's resolution rules before starting.
- Work on remote, per-hour projects and complete tasks within the agreed schedule.
- Keep DaVinci Resolve installed and ready to open on your own Mac throughout the engagement.
- Apply real post-production judgment as a colorist, editor, or generalist in DaVinci Resolve.
Requirements6
- DaVinci Resolve installed on your own Mac running macOS, ready to open today.
- Hands-on background as a colorist, video editor, or post-production professional who uses DaVinci Resolve.
- A monitor setup that captures more than 2.5 megapixels, either one qualifying high-resolution display or two displays captured as a single spanning image.
- Access to a MacBook Pro 14-inch or 16-inch built-in display, or an external display at QHD, 4K, 5K, or an accepted ultrawide resolution.
- Own software license and hardware, because Mercor provides no licenses, virtual machines, or machines.
- Comfort with remote, per-hour work and clear communication with the Mercor team.
Who Should Apply
Colorists, video editors, and post-production specialists with DaVinci Resolve on a Mac fit this role best. You need a display setup that reaches the 2.5-megapixel capture bar, and you must have the app installed before you apply. Candidates who lack DaVinci Resolve experience or expect Mercor to supply a license, VM, or computer will not pass review. A common reason for rejection is a capture setup that fails the resolution rules, such as a single 1080p screen or a dual-monitor pair not captured as one image. Another low-fit signal is a generalist profile with no real color grading or editing work in DaVinci Resolve.
Salary Insight
The rate is $30 to $40 per hour. That range matches contract or freelance post-production work for a skilled DaVinci Resolve user, with the top end going to candidates who combine color grading or editing depth with a monitor setup that clears the 2.5-megapixel rule.
