Video Editor & Post Production Expert

Pay: $70/hour

Video editors in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects to evaluate video generation and demonstrate timeline workflows for frontier AI labs.

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring video editors as contractors to author and grade the post production scenarios those evaluations run on, with motion graphics work folded in for editors who have it.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic post production scenarios from raw footage through final cut, the kind a working editor would actually receive.
• Write reference critiques with the editorial reasoning behind each cut, from pacing and continuity to color and sound.
• Grade generated video for continuity, pacing, motion quality, and whether it would survive a client review.
• Demonstrate timeline workflows in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects the way editors actually work.

Who this is for

• Video editors and post production professionals with at least two years of delivered work and a reel to show.
• Editors who live in a professional NLE and can articulate why a cut works, not just make it.
• Motion designers and animators are welcome here too, After Effects, Cinema 4D, or Blender depth is a plus on top of editing craft.
• People with strong written English who can turn editorial instinct into clear, teachable reasoning.

Contract and pay

• $50 to $90/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
• Fully remote, fully async. No fixed hours.
• Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
• No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
• Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.
