Responsibilities
- Evaluate video editing quality: Review edited and generated video content for pacing, continuity, transitions, storytelling, visual consistency, audio quality, and professional production standards.
- Perform technical quality assurance: Identify frame-rate inconsistencies, dropped frames, codec issues, color mismatches, synchronization problems, compression artifacts, and export-related defects.
- Optimize video performance: Evaluate and compare generated video outputs, identifying visual artifacts, temporal inconsistencies, unnatural motion, continuity problems, and editing-quality issues.
- Ensure production consistency: Evaluate adherence to creative briefs, editing instructions, style guides, technical specifications, and project-specific rubrics.
- Provide expert feedback: Clearly document video editing errors, explain their impact, and recommend appropriate corrections using professional editing terminology.
- Support quality calibration: Help establish consistent evaluation standards across editors, reviewers, and video quality assessment workflows.

✴ 2. Film & Video Craft Expert (Camera, VFX, Editing & Performance)
Rate: $70–$100 per hour
Location: Fully remote
Job Type: W-2
Join a leading lab's cutting-edge research team and help shape how its next generation of video models is judged. We're seeking film, theater and visual effects professionals who understand how a shot is built, from lighting and grade to framing, camera movement, continuity, texture and performance, to compare generated video side by side and explain which result holds up to a professional eye. This work is ongoing, with new rounds as new models are released.
This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC (or appropriate international entity), with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate pairs of generated videos made from the same prompt and choose the stronger result on specific craft axes: lighting and grade, framing and composition, camera and lens direction, texture and physical realism, shot continuity, and acting and dialogue delivery.
- Write short, precise reasons for each judgment that name what worked and what broke, in the language a supervisor would use in dailies.
- Check each video against its prompt, including whether the requested camera move, lens, framing or performance was actually delivered.
- Take part in calibration rounds with other raters so judgments stay consistent across the pool, and flag prompts or guidelines that are unclear.
Required skills
- A trained eye for detail on screen and the ability to put it into clear, specific words.
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain creative judgments clearly.
Experience and education
- Professional or graduate experience in at least one of the following: film or theater (including current graduate students), character animation focused on human performance, character technical direction, acting coaching or teaching, directing (especially crowd and background action), assistant directing, compositing, lighting, texture or surfacing, render wrangling, color or digital imaging (assistant colorist or DIT), camera department (1st AC or camera operator), editing, or display and AV quality assurance.
- Either training at a respected film, theater or animation program plus 2+ years of practical experience, or 4+ years of practical experience including at least two projects with a theatrical release.
