Overview
Mercor needs professionals who already run Premiere on a personal Windows computer and can open the software today. The company does not provide licenses, virtual machines, or hardware, so your own machine and software license carry the work. Projects focus on timeline editing and sequence assembly for video editors, content producers, and post-production teams. Your display setup must capture screenshots above 2.5 megapixels, either from a single high-resolution monitor or from two screens combined into one spanning image. Assignments pay by the hour and you work from your own location.
What You'll Do5
- Edit video and assemble sequences on a Premiere timeline using your own Windows PC.
- Capture screenshots that exceed 2.5 megapixels with a monitor setup that meets Mercor's rules.
- Follow post-production instructions for sequence assembly and content review.
- Operate without company-supplied licenses, virtual machines, or hardware.
- Coordinate with a remote team on assigned application tasks.
Requirements7
- A working Premiere installation on a personal Windows computer that you can open on day one.
- Hands-on background in timeline video editing and sequence assembly.
- A display arrangement that captures screenshots above 2.5 megapixels.
- For a single monitor: resolution at or above the listed thresholds, such as 2560x1440, 3840x2160, or a MacBook Pro 14-inch or 16-inch built-in screen.
- For dual monitors: two side-by-side displays captured as one spanning image, with each screen at 1920x1080 or higher. A lone 1080p screen from that pair does not qualify.
- No need for Mercor to supply a license, virtual machine, or hardware.
- Experience as a video editor, content producer, or post-production professional.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate edits in Premiere on a Windows machine they own and can open the software without setup delays. A background in video editing, content production, or post-production matches the timeline and sequence work. Check your monitor before applying: one display that captures above 2.5 megapixels, or two side-by-side screens that each hit 1920x1080 or higher and combine into one image. Candidates who need Mercor to provide a license, virtual machine, or hardware will not qualify. Applications often lose points when the candidate has Premiere on a Mac, lacks an active Windows install, or cannot prove the screenshot resolution with their current display.
Salary Insight
The role pays $30 to $40 per hour. That range fits mid-level contract work for editors with proven Premiere experience and a compliant capture setup. Because you supply your own software, hardware, and display, the rate does not cover those costs.
