We are looking for Music Editor candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Watch video clips and annotate them following a detailed set of guidelines.
- Tag actions and events in each clip, marking the exact point where each one starts and ends.
- Identify scene changes, cuts, and shifts in the pacing or intensity of the action.
- Label the tone or mood of each section and mark where it changes.
- Apply the labeling rules the same way across every clip so the data stays consistent.
- Re-check your own work and correct boundaries that are slightly off.
- Flag unclear or borderline cases to project leads instead of guessing, and help resolve them.
- Suggest improvements to the annotation guidelines when you find gaps or repeated confusion.
- Complete assigned annotation volume on time and at the required quality level.
What you need
- Attention to timing and detail is what matters.
Nice to have
- Background in post-production or editorial work — music editing, video editing, sound editing, or similar.
- Strong sense of timing: able to judge where a moment truly begins and ends, not just approximately.
- Sharp eye for detail and the patience to stay consistent across long sessions of similar material.
- Comfortable following written guidelines precisely and applying them the same way every time.
- Able to spot when something in the footage does not fit the rules, and raise it instead of forcing a label.
- Clear written and verbal communication for working with a remote team.
- Previous video annotation or data labeling experience is a plus, but not required.
