Music Editor

Role Title: Music Editor

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging Music Editors to work on a video annotation project. The core of this role is watching video closely and labeling it accurately. You'll review footage, tag what happens and exactly when it happens, and apply a detailed set of guidelines consistently across many sessions. No prior AI experience is required — your attention to timing and detail is what matters.

Scope of Work

• Watch video clips and annotate them following a detailed set of guidelines.

• Tag actions and events in each clip, marking the exact point where each one starts and ends.

• Identify scene changes, cuts, and shifts in the pacing or intensity of the action.

• Label the tone or mood of each section and mark where it changes.

• Apply the labeling rules the same way across every clip so the data stays consistent.

• Re-check your own work and correct boundaries that are slightly off.

• Flag unclear or borderline cases to project leads instead of guessing, and help resolve them.

• Suggest improvements to the annotation guidelines when you find gaps or repeated confusion.

• Complete assigned annotation volume on time and at the required quality level.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in post-production or editorial work — music editing, video editing, sound editing, or similar. These roles build exactly the timing and frame-level precision this project needs.

• Strong sense of timing: able to judge where a moment truly begins and ends, not just approximately.

• Sharp eye for detail and the patience to stay consistent across long sessions of similar material.

• Comfortable following written guidelines precisely and applying them the same way every time.

• Able to spot when something in the footage does not fit the rules, and raise it instead of forcing a label.

• Clear written and verbal communication for working with a remote team.

• Previous video annotation or data labeling experience is a plus, but not required.
