Required Skills
Job Description
Grip is building the infrastructure for enterprise content production—turning static master creatives into scalable, high-quality outputs through automation, AI workflows, and modular design systems. This role sits at the intersection of creative intent and production reliability.
As a Video Editor, you ensure that what gets generated at scale still meets the standard of a handcrafted master. You translate creative direction into repeatable outputs, enforce technical and visual quality across thousands of variations, and resolve the edge cases where automation meets reality.
This is not just editing—it’s building trust in a system that produces content programmatically without degrading brand quality.
What You Will Do
1. Ship Production-Ready Masters and Variants
• Replace VFX shots in final edits with precision, ensuring alignment with creative intent and technical specs
• Produce platform-ready outputs (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, etc.) from master files without quality loss
• Create cut-downs and adaptations that preserve narrative and visual consistency across formats
• Deliver assets that are immediately usable in automated pipelines and downstream distribution
2. Own Quality Control Systems
• Perform frame-level QC across video, audio, color, and VFX integration
• Identify and resolve issues in color grading, compression artifacts, audio balance, and render inconsistencies
• Validate outputs against platform-specific delivery standards (broadcast, social, web)
• Build repeatable QC checks that scale with volume—not just one-off fixes
3. Operate Within a Scaled Content Pipeline
• Manage ingestion, validation, and organization of master files from vendors
• Transcode, compress, and prepare assets using correct codecs, formats, and color spaces
• Generate proxy files (MP4s) for rapid internal review and iteration
• Work within structured pipelines where outputs feed directly into automated systems
4. Collaborate Across Creative and Technical Teams
• Work closely with project managers and VFX supervisors to align on delivery and quality expectations
• Translate creative feedback into precise editing and QC actions
• Flag inconsistencies early and propose solutions that scale across variants
• Act as the final quality gate before assets enter production systems
