Video Editor — Narrative / Film (Review & Evaluation)

Type: Contract, hourly

Location: Remote (Philippines)

Schedule: Flexible

About the work

You'll watch videos, edit and judge how well they're put together — whether the story holds up, whether the cuts work, whether the pacing carries. You'll write out your reasoning in detail. That written judgment is used to train an AI system, so we need real editorial thinking, not a rating out of ten.

What you'll do

• Watch videos and assess how they're edited
• Edit videos and make adjustments to cuts, pacing, sequencing, and overall flow
• Identify problems: awkward jump cuts, broken continuity, pacing that drags or rushes
• Judge whether the story or sequence actually makes sense
• Write clear explanations of what works, what doesn't, and why
• Point to specific moments rather than giving general impressions

What we're looking for

• Professional editing experience in long-form work: short film, documentary, wedding films, long-form YouTube, or TV
• Strong DaVinci Resolve skills — this is the main software
• Fluent English, spoken and written
• Able to explain your editorial reasoning in writing, not just do the cut
• A reel or portfolio including pieces over five minutes

Helpful but not required

• Colour grading or sound experience
• Experience taking structured notes from a director or producer
• Experience with video editing beyond basic cuts

Details

• Hourly rate, paid based on hours worked
• Ongoing work with room to grow — this is expected to be a long-running project
• Fully remote, flexible hours
• Requires a computer that runs DaVinci Resolve comfortably and a stable internet connection
