• Create alternate episode or scene versions for A/B testing, creative refinement, and performance evaluation.
• Carry out small to moderate edit updates such as pacing improvements, trimming, sequence reordering, and requested audio or visual changes.
• Support improvement of episode edits while keeping the story easy to follow, the pacing effective, the emotional flow intact, and the creative vision preserved.
• Export revised cuts and keep file versions clean, structured, and easy to review internally.
• Assess episodes and deliverables for technical and creative problems before internal approval or final delivery.
• Check for issues such as audio balance, color continuity, missing frames, flash frames, subtitle mistakes, export problems, sync issues, and delivery errors.
• Work with the Executive Producer, production company, and post-production teams to share QC notes and revision feedback.
• Monitor revisions and verify that every requested fix has been completed before delivery is finalized.
• Help preserve consistency across episodes, alternate versions, and delivery packages.
• Label, organize, and monitor multiple episode versions used for revision, testing, internal review, and platform delivery.
• Support the preparation of files for internal review, testing, archival, and platform submission.
• Maintain clear records of revision notes, version history, file naming, and delivery status when needed.
• Make sure final deliverables are properly arranged, accessible, and ready for review or handoff.

Qualifications

• Background in post-production editing, assistant editing, or post-production coordination.
• Exposure to vertical drama, short-form content, digital entertainment, scripted programming, or mobile-first storytelling.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar editing tools.
• Solid grasp of post-production processes, file organization, version control, export workflows, and quality control checks.
• Strong eye for detail, especially when checking subtitles, sound, color, synchronization, and final exports.
