Youtube Video Editor Jobs in Rhode Island (NOW HIRING)

Door G is a creative production studio where imagination meets innovation. We blend bold storytelling with virtual production, traditional filmmaking, and AI-enabled workflows to deliver premium work at real production speed.

Door G moves fast. Multiple projects, short turnarounds, and productions that generate more footage in a day than most teams see in a month. That only works if someone builds the runway before the editors sit down.

That's this job. You take everything that comes off a shoot - cards, audio, graphics, references, client assets - and turn it into a project someone can open and start cutting immediately. Synced, labeled, grouped, selected, and structured so the story is already findable.

Prep at this level is a craft. Knowing which takes are worth surfacing, how to build a string-out so the arc reveals itself, and when to flag a coverage gap before anyone else notices it.

You'll cut as well: string-outs, assemblies, rough cuts, cutdowns, and versions. But the heart of the role is making sure the edit is ready to happen, on every project, every time.

What You'll Do

• Ingest, sync, label, and organize footage, audio, graphics, and client assets into projects that are immediately workable.

• Build selects and string-outs that give editors a real starting point — surfacing the best takes, grouping coverage, and structuring material so the story is visible before the first cut.

• Cut assemblies, rough cuts, cutdowns, and versions under the direction of the Senior Editor or Creative Director.

• Own folder structures, naming conventions, and version control across projects, so any editor or freelancer can open a Door G job and know exactly where everything lives.

• Prepare timelines and asset packages for motion graphics, VFX, color, sound, online finishing, and mastering.

• Export review files and final deliverables to spec across broadcast, web, social, and presentation platforms.

• QC media, graphics, captions, audio, and exports before anything moves to review or delivery.

• Flag problems early — missing coverage, sync drift, audio issues, spec conflicts — while there's still time to solve them.

• Run backups, project closeout, and archiving so finished work can actually be found again.

• Use AI-assisted tools for transcription, logging, search, audio cleanup, and reframing to move faster through repeatable work.

What You'll Bring

• Experience: 5+ years in post-production at a production company, post house, creative studio, or agency.

• Organizational Skill: This is the core of the job. You have a system for taking a project from card offload to archive; you can explain it, and you hold it when three jobs land in the same week. Editors who work behind you should never have to ask where something is.

• Editorial Foundation: Real command of continuity, pacing, coverage, and shot selection. You can build a rough that holds together on its own, not just an assembly in script order.

• Judgment Under Volume: The instinct to know what matters inside eight hours of footage and surface it, rather than handing over everything and calling it organized.

• Tech Fluency: Strong command of Adobe Premiere Pro and professional media workflows. After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, or Illustrator are a plus.

• Technical Range: Comfort with codecs, transcoding, sync, multicam, formats, and delivery specs — and the ability to troubleshoot.

• Collaboration: Clear communicator who asks the right questions early. Integrates into an existing team fast and takes direction cleanly.

• AI Fluency: Familiarity with current AI post tools for logging, transcription, and cleanup, and the judgment to know which ones actually save time.

• A Plus: Experience with virtual production footage, large multicam builds, or motion graphics capability of your own.
  

Please upload or attach a short description of how you organize a project from card offload through archive — folder structure, naming, versioning, handoff — and links to any rough cuts or finished work you've cut.
