  5. Identify and troubleshoot complex project-sharing and metadata issues, providing feedback to improve AI system understanding.
  6. Ensure AI accurately describes workflows involving proxy media, local and linked files, and advanced media management.
  7. Verify the correct implementation of node-based effects and LUT adjustments within Lightworks projects.

  1. Demonstrated expertise in Lightworks, with an emphasis on rapid, keyboard-driven editing.
  2. Extensive experience in video production, editing, and composition within a professional or high-volume environment.
  3. Deep understanding of link-based versus local media workflows and proxy management in Lightworks.
  4. Strong proficiency with advanced VFX, color grading, and node-based effect implementation.
  5. Ability to resolve complex technical issues, including metadata errors and collaborative project challenges.
  6. Familiarity with industry-standard delivery formats, interchange protocols, and workflow optimization.
  7. Attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality post-production results.


Preferred Qualifications:

  2. Hands-on knowledge of multi-cam editing and advanced console operations (Shark console) in Lightworks.
  3. Background working with AI tools or evaluation processes within media production is a plus.
