Job Title: Junior Post-Production Expert - Lightworks


Job Type: Contractor


Location: Remote


Job Summary: In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.


Key Responsibilities:

  1. Review non-linear editing (NLE) workflows and validate AI-driven instructions for advanced trimming, console-based editing, and efficient bin management in Lightworks.
  2. Audit post-production processes, focusing on specialized features such as the Shark console, multi-cam functionalities, and VFX routing within the Lightworks environment.
  3. Evaluate AI recommendations for media format and codec compliance, ensuring seamless delivery for AVID/ProTools interchange and XML/EDL exports.
  4. Assess AI-generated user interface (UI) instructions, particularly regarding the fixed versus flexible layout options unique to Lightworks.
  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.


Required Skills and Qualifications:

  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:

  1. Prior experience as a junior film editor, post-production specialist, or video producer with extensive Lightworks usage.
  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.



Looking for motivated individuals eager to help shape the future of AI-assisted post-production as part of our customer's team. Your Lightworks expertise will have a direct impact on the next generation of video editing technology.
