About the role

The Guide Editor will work closely with our education team to produce video guides for Rundown AI University, our library of practical screen-share and talking-head tutorials about AI tools and workflows. You'll own guide edits from raw recording through final delivery, including motion graphics, screen callouts, audio cleanup, pacing, and visual polish.

This is a remote contract role. It starts at one to two guides per week and can ramp toward three to five once you're consistently hitting the quality and delivery bar.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit for clarity: Take talking-head and screen-share recordings and turn them into concise, easy-to-follow tutorials.

• Tighten the cut: Select the strongest takes and remove false starts, repetition, dead air, and irrelevant detours without losing important instructions.

• Motion graphics: Build strong openings and create text animations, screen callouts, transitions, and supporting visuals in Adobe After Effects that make the lesson easier to follow.

• Polish the edit: Uphold quality standards with appropriate colour, audio cleanup, and a final QC pass on spelling, visual continuity, privacy, and playback before export.

• Work from the brief: Follow the guide brief and brand references, and flag unclear instructions, missing assets, private information, or source issues instead of guessing.

• Deliver on schedule: Ship review cuts on time, apply consolidated feedback accurately, and prepare the approved final master in the requested delivery format.

• Hand off clean files: Return organised, relinkable Premiere Pro and After Effects project files with clearly named sequences, assets, and versions, plus any cutdowns, replacement exports, or revision notes included in the agreed scope.

• Communicate proactively: Keep progress, questions, capacity, and delivery timing visible in Slack, and flag a possible delay before the deadline with a recovery plan.

Skills and experience 

• A strong portfolio of educational, product-demo, creator, SaaS, or YouTube tutorial work.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, with strong working proficiency in After Effects for motion graphics and compositing.

• Comfortable with Adobe Dynamic Link, MOGRTs, and Media Encoder, plus Frame.io for version delivery and time-coded feedback, Slack for asynchronous collaboration, and Descript when a project uses transcript-based review.

• Experience combining presenter footage, screen recordings, product UI, and motion graphics.

• Strong judgment about pacing, instructional clarity, and visual hierarchy, with editorial instincts that preserve factual meaning and instructional steps.

• Strong quality control for audio, color, spelling, visual continuity, privacy, and final playback.

• A workstation and internet connection that can handle 4K source media and dependable renders.

• A strong communicator and collaborator who pays close attention to detail and is comfortable owning work.

• An interest in AI, tech, and digital media.
