Video Editor Workflow Study (Latvia Remote)
Listing checked September 25, 2026 · pay as published by Terac
Overview
Terac invites video editing professionals to join a paid research session about how creative work gets done. The study focuses on video editing workflows, post-production software, and the tools that help or get in the way of finishing projects. You will take part in a remote, AI-moderated interview where you talk through recent edits, your software setup, and the stages you follow from start to finish. The conversation includes a few hypothetical scenarios and questions about workarounds for common technical problems. You do not need to share your screen or edit footage during the call. Your feedback will shape next-generation editing features.

- 2Describe the specific software and tools you use across post-production tasks.
- 3Explain how you work around creative blocks and technical bottlenecks when they appear.

- 6Ability to explain technical and creative decisions without editing live footage or sharing a screen.
Who Should Apply
Professional video editors, motion graphics artists, and post-production specialists fit this study best. That includes people who handle commercial, freelance, or long-form projects. The role also suits people who can describe their end-to-end creative process and name the tools they use at each stage. Candidates who have never managed a full edit or who only know editing theory will struggle here. Interviewers often reject applicants who give vague answers about their software stack or cannot point to a recent project. Another common reason for low fit scores is an unwillingness to discuss workflow details in a recorded session.

Required Skills
Application Tip
Prepare a short walkthrough of one recent project and name the exact tools you used, such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects. Structure your answer around stages like assembly, color, sound, and delivery, then add one real example of a technical problem you solved. That level of detail helps your fit score because the interview centers on concrete workflow choices.

Mercor
VerifiedVideo Editing Professional
The project assembles a panel of professional video editors to create post-production tasks that train and evaluate AI agents. Each assignment gives an agent the package a junior editor receives: source footage, a brief, and a deliverable spec, plus a hidden answer key or rubric so the team judges the finished video on the edit itself. Editors work in their own software, such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Media Composer, and supply footage they shot and own. Expect about 12 hours each week on an engagement paid by the hour, with remote work. The panel is not open to residents of California.
AfterQuery
VerifiedVideo Editor & Post Production Expert
AfterQuery builds expert evaluation and training data that frontier AI labs use to gauge model performance on real professional work. In this remote contract, video editors create realistic post production scenarios that start with raw footage and end at a final cut, then grade AI-generated video for continuity, pacing, motion quality and client readiness. You would also write critiques that explain editorial choices, and demonstrate timeline and motion workflows in tools such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or After Effects. Editors with motion graphics or animation depth can fold that work into the same role, while everyone sets their own hours with a minimum of 10 per week.
Handshake AI
VerifiedVideo Editors - Remote AI Research Project
Handshake AI hires Video Editors who know tools like OpenShot and Shotcut to support an AI research program. You turn editing expertise into training material by writing domain prompts and reviewing how large language models answer them. The role runs remote and asynchronous, with no minimum hours and projects that open throughout the year. Placement depends on when a suitable project becomes available.
Micro1
VerifiedAdobe Video Editor (Premiere Pro & After Effects)
micro1 is looking for an Adobe Video Editor with strong skills in Premiere Pro and After Effects to support a client's video data annotation and AI training initiative. Your editing and motion graphics expertise will directly feed into how AI models learn from real-world video content. No AI background is required; your domain knowledge is the key asset. This is a remote contractor role where your work helps shape next-generation systems.
Micro1
VerifiedVideo Editor for AI Training Media
micro1 is hiring Video Editors for a project that produces educational and robotics media used to train AI systems. You will edit 3D/CGI content, add motion graphics and visual effects, and handle audio to create polished pieces. The work supports machine learning datasets, so your edits help models learn from real-world examples. No AI background is needed. What matters is your skill with tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro and your eye for visual storytelling.
Terac
