About the role
**Opportunity Overview**
Handshake is recruiting video editors with experience in video editing using OpenShot to contribute to an AI research project. In this program, you’ll apply your expertise to help improve how AI understands real-world professional tasks within your domain, such as video editing, post-production, motion graphics, and content creation. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.
What You’ll Do
- Use your video editing experience to create tasks that today’s top AI models can’t solve based on real workflows, such as timeline editing and trimming, multitrack layering, transitions and effects, titles and animations, audio syncing and mixing, color and clip adjustments, and exporting for different platforms and formats
- Review and evaluate AI-generated responses
- Provide clear, structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
- Work remotely and complete tasks at your own pace, with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement
Qualifications
- **Degree**: Completed Bachelor’s degree or higher
- **Tool experience**: At least 2 years of work experience using OpenShot or an equivalent tool
- **Industry experience:** Professional experience at a production studio, marketing or media agency, broadcast or streaming company. Freelance video editor must provide a portfolio of published video work.

**Additional qualifications** (not required, but strengthen your application)
- Experience across multiple video editing tools and workflows, such as Shotcut, Kdenlive, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro, or familiarity with color grading, motion graphics, or audio post-production
**Required for all applicants**
- Must have US work authorization
- Strong written communication and attention to detail
- Ability to explain complex video editing concepts clearly
- Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
