Video Editor – Remote

YO AI Labs is hiring a remote Video Editor to support an AI video annotation project based out of New York City, NY. This is a post-production contract role where editors review and annotate footage frame by frame, producing structured training data from video of robotic systems performing real-world tasks. It suits editors with a background in continuity, visual QA, or post-production workflow who want to apply their eye for timing and movement to a project outside traditional editorial.

About the Role

You’ll be working independently within an annotation pipeline rather than a traditional editorial suite, reviewing footage batches and flagging events, actions, and transitions with precision. The work is closer to a continuity supervisor or assistant editor reviewing cuts for inconsistencies than to a creative edit, but the core skill set is the same. A typical day involves working through assigned footage clips, using annotation tools to mark events at the frame level, and submitting QA notes on anything ambiguous or inconsistent.

Key Responsibilities

• Review video footage of robotic arms performing tasks and identify actions, object interactions, and outcomes with frame-level accuracy.
• Apply annotation markers to video events using dedicated tools, maintaining consistency across batches throughout the post-production workflow.
• Conduct frame-by-frame analysis to determine precise timing, continuity breaks, and transition points within each clip.
• Flag unclear footage, visual inconsistencies, and ambiguous moments with written documentation for the QA team.
• Review completed annotations and provide quality-control feedback to maintain accuracy standards across the project.
• Complete assigned annotation batches on schedule, managing your own time across a remote work structure.

What You Bring

• Background in video editing, post-production, filmmaking, or audiovisual production at a professional or advanced independent level.
• Hands-on experience reviewing footage for timing, movement, and visual consistency, as you would in assistant editing or continuity work.
• Proficiency in at least one professional editing tool, including Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Media Composer.
• Strong attention to detail at the frame level, with the ability to document observations clearly and concisely in writing.
• Prior experience with video annotation, visual QA, or AI training data is a plus but not required.
