Final Cut Pro Video Editor

RemoteJobsOne is hiring a Final Cut Pro Video Editor for a remote contractor engagement open to candidates based in the United States, including those located in Houston, TX. This role sits within the post-production workflow side of an AI training project, where the editor’s output is annotated video data, including segmented footage, tagged keyframes, and labeled scenes that feed directly into machine learning datasets. It suits an editor with hands-on Final Cut Pro experience who wants to apply their post-production skills to a non-traditional project type while building credits outside of conventional episodic television or commercial work.

About the Role

This is a contractor position within a data annotation pipeline, which functions much like a post-production workflow except the deliverable is structured media metadata rather than a finished cut. Day to day, the Final Cut Pro Video Editor processes media assets on macOS, applies editorial judgment to segment and organize footage, and documents their work to meet project specifications set by a coordinator team. The work is self-directed and remote, so familiarity with async post-production communication is a genuine advantage here.

Key Responsibilities

• Annotate and tag video content inside Final Cut Pro, producing accurate metadata that meets the technical specifications of each AI training dataset assignment.
• Segment footage and mark keyframes using professional editorial techniques drawn from standard post-production workflow practices.
• Organize and process media assets within macOS-based editing tools, maintaining file structure and naming conventions across annotation batches.
• Review annotated deliverables against project guidelines before submission, ensuring consistency across all tagged sequences and scenes.
• Incorporate feedback from project coordinators during periodic reviews to refine annotation standards and improve throughput.
• Submit completed post-production assets and documentation on schedule, following the delivery requirements specified for each assignment.

What You Bring

• Hands-on Final Cut Pro experience gained in a professional or academic post-production context.
• Working knowledge of core video editing techniques including cutting, sequencing, and color correction.
• Comfort with macOS-based editing environments and the file management workflows that come with them.
• Entry-level to mid-level editorial background, with attention to detail that translates well to annotation work.
• Clear written communication skills suited to remote project coordination and process documentation.

Why This Role

RemoteJobsOne is connecting editors to a project that sits at the intersection of post-production craft and AI development, giving contractors real exposure to how editorial skills are applied in data-driven media pipelines. Compensation for the Final Cut Pro Video Editor role ranges from $15 to $80 per hour depending on the scope of work, which is a wider band than most short-term annotation contracts offer. For editors looking to diversify their work beyond feature film production or commercial post, this is a concrete way to do that on a flexible schedule.
