Overview

micro1 is looking for Final Cut Pro Video Editors to support a client project that uses video data annotation to train AI systems. Your editing skills will directly influence how AI models learn from real-world footage. No AI background is needed; your expertise in video editing is the key qualification. This remote contractor role involves tagging and annotating video content, organizing media, and ensuring high-quality output for AI datasets.

What You'll Do7

  • Use Final Cut Pro to annotate and tag video content, providing detailed metadata for AI training datasets.
  • Apply professional editing techniques to segment footage, mark keyframes, and highlight relevant scenes according to project guidelines.
  • Organize and process media assets efficiently using macOS editing workflows.
  • Maintain consistency, accuracy, and quality in all video annotations and post-production deliverables.
  • Communicate with project coordinators through written updates and verbal discussions as needed.
  • Participate in periodic reviews and incorporate feedback to improve annotation standards and workflow efficiency.
  • Submit completed annotations and post-production assets following specified documentation and delivery requirements.

Requirements7

  • Hands-on experience with Final Cut Pro in a professional or academic setting.
  • Proficiency in video post-production techniques, including cutting, sequencing, and color correction.
  • Familiarity with macOS-based editing tools and workflows.
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality deliverables.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document processes and collaborate remotely.
  • Entry-level to mid-level background in video editing, ideal for those looking to expand their portfolio in data-driven projects.
  • Interest or exposure to video data annotation, media organization, or related fields is a plus, though not required.

Who Should Apply

This role suits a video editor who is comfortable with Final Cut Pro and enjoys detailed, repetitive tasks that require precision. If you have a knack for organizing media and following strict guidelines, you will thrive here. The role is less suitable for editors who prefer creative freedom or work outside macOS environments. Candidates often get rejected when they lack hands-on Final Cut Pro experience or cannot demonstrate attention to detail in their portfolio. Also, those who struggle with remote communication or documentation may find it challenging.
