Freelance Video Editor

ActionVFX Academy Video Editor

ActionVFX is rapidly expanding the ActionVFX Academy, and we're hiring experienced freelance Video Editors to help us scale production quickly and efficiently.

This is a remote contractor role for video editors who thrive in fast-paced environments, take ownership of their workflow, and understand how to transform recorded material into polished, high-quality educational products.

You'll take assigned Academy courses from raw recordings through polished, LMS-ready delivery while collaborating closely with our Lead Course Editor to ensure every course meets ActionVFX quality standards.

We are moving quickly and looking to engage contractors immediately.

At ActionVFX, our mission is to empower VFX artists with the tools to achieve creative and financial freedom.

For more than a decade, we've built industry-leading visual effects assets used by artists and studios around the world on projects including Stranger Things, Spider-Man: Far From Home, The Walking Dead, Jack Ryan, Call of Duty, and thousands of other productions.

Today, we're expanding that mission through ActionVFX Academy, designed to help artists master emerging technologies, refine their craft, and build sustainable, successful careers. Through professional courses, practice footage, and hands-on learning experiences, we're equipping artists with the knowledge and confidence to do their best work.

Whether we're creating assets or courses, everything we build is driven by the same purpose: helping VFX artists unlock more creative opportunities, greater career success, and the freedom to do the work they love.
