Music Editor

Role Overview

Support a remote video annotation project by reviewing footage closely and producing precise, consistent labels for actions, timing, scene changes, pacing, and mood. This contract role draws on music, picture, and post-production editing instincts, especially the ability to identify exact moments and maintain frame-level accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Watch assigned video clips and annotate them according to detailed project guidelines.
• Tag actions and events, recording the precise start and end point of each.
• Identify scene changes, cuts, and changes in pacing or action intensity.
• Label the tone or mood of each section and note where it changes.
• Apply annotation rules consistently across all clips and sessions.
• Review your own work, correct inaccurate boundaries, and flag unclear or borderline cases for project leads rather than guessing.
• Help resolve unclear cases and suggest improvements when guidelines have gaps or create repeated confusion.
• Complete assigned annotation volume on time and at the required quality standard.

Qualifications

• Experience in post-production or editorial work, including music editing, video editing, sound editing, or a related field, is preferred.
• Strong timing judgment and the ability to determine exactly when a moment begins and ends.
• Exceptional attention to detail, patience, and consistency during long sessions with similar material.
• Ability to follow written guidelines precisely and recognize when footage does not fit the rules.
• Clear written and verbal communication for collaboration with a remote team.
• Video annotation or data-labeling experience is helpful but not required. Prior AI experience is not required.

Work Terms

• Remote contract engagement.
• Work focuses on video annotation and data labeling, including music and picture synchronization, editing music to fit a scene, and accurate music and video annotations.

Compensation

• $50 to $90 per hour.
