What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Rotoscoping position, and why are they important?

To thrive in rotoscoping, you need strong artistic skills, attention to detail, and proficiency in animation or visual effects, commonly backed by formal art or design education. Familiarity with industry-standard software such as Adobe After Effects, Silhouette, or Nuke is essential. Excellent teamwork, communication, and problem-solving abilities help you adapt to the collaborative and fast-paced environment often found in post-production studios. These competencies ensure clean, accurate extractions and seamless integration of live-action and digital elements in visual effects projects.

What is a Rotoscoping job?

A rotoscoping job involves manually tracing over live-action footage, frame by frame, to create masks or mattes for visual effects. This process helps isolate elements such as characters or objects so they can be replaced, modified, or composited into different backgrounds. Rotoscoping is commonly used in visual effects, animation, and post-production to achieve seamless integrations in films, TV shows, and commercials. Skilled rotoscope artists use software like Adobe After Effects, SilhouetteFX, or Nuke to refine edges and ensure high-quality results.

What are some common challenges faced by rotoscoping artists in the visual effects industry?

Rotoscoping artists often encounter challenges such as dealing with complex motion, fine details like hair or transparent objects, and working with shaky or low-quality footage. Meeting tight deadlines while ensuring precision in mask creation can also be demanding. Collaboration with compositors, supervisors, and other VFX team members is crucial for ensuring consistency and accuracy. Staying adaptable and responsive to feedback helps you deliver high-quality work, even on challenging shots.

Job description

About the Role

MrBeast is looking for a well-rounded Video Editor who can do more than just cut footage. In this role, you'll transform raw recordings into high-energy, captivating content that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. Beyond traditional editing, you'll also bring projects to life with motion graphics, After Effects work, and lighter CGI techniques (rotoscoping, compositing, animation).
This is a highly creative position that requires someone with a YouTube-native style - quick, punchy edits, bold motion graphics, and a strong sense of pacing and retention. You'll collaborate closely with our editing team to refine storylines, experiment with effects, and ensure every video is as entertaining as it is polished.

What You'll Do
  • Editing and assembling 30m-1hr+ recordings into highly engaging short-form or long-form content
  • Using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to create high-quality edits with motion graphics, rotoscoping, and lighter CGI work
  • Adding creative flair: animations, transitions, music, and sound design to enhance the viewing experience
  • Collaborating with retention specialists and creative leads to optimize content pacing and viewer engagement
  • Working alongside other editors to share techniques, improve workflows, and maintain consistent quality
  • Delivering drafts on time, ideally ahead of deadlines, and iterating quickly based on feedback
What We're Looking For
  • Expert-level knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (non-negotiable)
  • Strong experience with motion graphics, rotoscoping, and basic compositing techniques
  • Ability to craft edits for YouTube-style content (fast-paced, high-retention, cinematic when needed)
  • Highly accountable and reliable, consistently hitting or exceeding deadlines
  • Open to feedback, and able to incorporate notes quickly and effectively
  • A passion for storytelling, creativity, and experimenting with new techniques
  • A demo reel that showcases editing speed, motion graphics, and stylistic variety (applications without reels may not be considered)
Nice to Have's
  • Experience with Blender or other 3D tools (not required, but a plus)
  • Exposure to Nuke or higher-level CGI software (bonus, not expected)
  • Strong sense of cinematic storytelling (music, sound design, drama pacing)
  • Prior work with creators or influencers on highly stylized, fast-paced YouTube content
A Place to Call Home

We are based in Greenville, North Carolina, widely recognized as the cultural, educational, economic, and medical hub of Eastern North Carolina.
