Rough Cut Editor (Freelance) - Shown Media - WORLDWIDE Remote, Worldwide · Freelance, project-based · Rate: $75-$200 per project Once the footage is shot, it comes to you.
Shown Media runs viral video launches for billion-dollar companies that generate hundreds of millions of views, zero paid distribution.
The Role Sync audio and video, color correct and grade, and cut raw footage into a clean rough assembly. Every day of shooting, synced and organized, ready to hand off for the final edit.
What You'll Own Basic audio cleanup (noise reduction, leveling) so the next editor isn't fighting bad audio.
Flag the strongest takes. The next editor shouldn't have to rewatch everything from scratch.
Trim dead space and unusable footage, false starts and bad takes included. What you hand off is a genuine rough cut, not synced raw footage.
Consistent export specs: resolution, frame rate, file naming. No technical hiccups at handoff.
Catch technical issues early like audio dropouts, focus problems, missing coverage, and flag them back to us before they land on the next editor.
You're making sure the footage is clean, organized, and cut into a coherent sequence for the next editor.
What We're Looking For At least 2 years of experience cutting rough assemblies from multi-cam or multi-day shoots.
Fluency in Premiere / DaVinci Resolve
You're fast. Turnaround on this is tight and non-negotiable.
You organize by instinct. Bins, naming conventions, and markers are second nature, not an afterthought.
You catch problems before anyone downstream does.
