The work

You will review video clips closely and create consistent training data by marking what happens and exactly when it happens. The work requires editorial timing judgment, careful labeling, and repeated quality checks.

You will follow written guidelines, flag unclear cases instead of guessing, and suggest improvements when instructions cause repeated confusion.

  • Mark the precise start and end of actions, events, scene changes, cuts, and shifts in pacing or intensity.
  • Label the tone or mood of each section and identify where that mood changes.
  • Apply the same rules across clips, re-check your work, and correct boundaries that are slightly misaligned.
  • Complete the assigned annotation volume at the required quality level.

What it pays and takes

This is part-time contract work. Previous AI training experience is not required, and prior video annotation or data-labeling experience is helpful but not essential.

  • Pay: $21 to $35 per hour.
  • Language: English communication is required for written and verbal work.
  • Location: Open to candidates in the United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Denmark, Algeria, Egypt, Spain, Ethiopia, France, and the United Kingdom.
  • Also open to candidates in Ghana, Greece, Indonesia, India, Italy, Jordan, Japan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Morocco, Mexico, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Netherlands, Oman, Peru, the Philippines, Pakistan, Palestine, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, Tunisia, Taiwan, the United States, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and South Africa.
  • Required: strong timing judgment, close attention to detail, patience with similar material, and the ability to follow written instructions precisely.
  • Required: sound judgment for footage that does not fit an existing rule, clear handling of borderline cases, and strong remote communication.
  • Helpful background: post-production, video editing, music editing, sound editing, or related editorial work.
