Video Editor for AI Training Media
Listing checked September 10, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 is hiring Video Editors for a remote contract role that supports AI training through educational and robotics media. You will work with 3D/CGI footage, motion graphics, and visual effects to build polished content that helps models learn from real-world examples. The team uses tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro, and no background in AI is needed. Your editing and storytelling skills are the core of what you bring.
What You'll Do7
- 1Cut and assemble 3D/CGI video projects using editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Media Composer.
- 2Add motion graphics, animation, and visual effects that strengthen narrative flow in robotics and educational content.
- 3Handle audio editing and audiovisual compositing to deliver clean, immersive final cuts.
- 4Keep complex project files organized according to current post-production workflows and remote collaboration standards.
- 5Take feedback from project leads and iterate on assets until they match client goals and delivery specs.
- 6Prepare and refine video assets that become part of AI training datasets for machine learning use.
- 7Track developments in video engineering and digital media to keep your contributions current and relevant.
Requirements7
- 1Hands-on experience editing 3D/CGI and animation-driven content in professional or client-facing projects.
- 2Comfort with at least one major video and audio production tool: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Media Composer.
- 3A portfolio or demonstrable skill in visual storytelling, animation, motion graphics, and computer vision for media work.
- 4Clear written and verbal communication suited to remote, asynchronous teamwork.
- 5Sharp attention to detail plus a working knowledge of project organization and post-production pipelines.
- 6A track record of applying feedback and delivering technically sound multimedia assets on schedule.
- 7Bachelor’s degree in any field is required. Advanced experience in video editing, digital media, visual effects, or a related area is highly valued.
Who Should Apply
This role fits editors who have spent real time on 3D/CGI and animation projects and can show a portfolio of polished, technically sound work. You should be comfortable working alone in a remote setup, managing your own deadlines, and communicating through written updates. Candidates often get rejected when they list tools without showing actual project files or finished pieces, or when they treat feedback as optional rather than a core part of the workflow. If you prefer live, in-person collaboration or have no experience with post-production organization, this contract will likely feel like a mismatch.
