Academic Editor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for an Assistant Editor Intern to join our Film and TV post production team for a hands-on educational training internship focused on professional editorial support workflows.

This internship is designed for students interested in post production, editing, media management, and assistant editor work. Interns will begin within a controlled sandbox training project before supporting any active client work, giving them the opportunity to learn real-world AE workflows in a lower-risk, supervised environment.

Interns will gain exposure to the full post production support process, including media ingest, project organization, footage stringouts, ingest reports, Frame.io dailies links, transcriptions, captions, prep for color and mix, exports, deliverables, QC, and project wrap.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, curious about post production, and interested in learning how professional editorial teams move projects from footage intake through final delivery.

Educational Structure

This internship is structured as a learning-focused training experience. Interns will receive guidance, feedback, and supervision throughout the program. Any exposure to active client work will be limited, supervised, and based on the intern's training progress.

Completion of the internship does not guarantee future employment, though interns may be considered for future freelance or entry-level opportunities if there is a good fit and a business need.
