What the work involves

You work inside Premiere Pro the way you normally would — importing media, assembling sequences on the timeline, trimming, applying transitions and effects, colour and audio adjustments, exporting — but with your screen captured and your actions documented so a model can learn what competent editing looks like. Tasks typically arrive as prompts or briefs: perform a described operation, narrate or annotate the steps, and capture the interface state at each stage. Some batches lean toward demonstrating workflows; others lean toward judging whether a model's proposed steps inside Premiere are correct, efficient, or hallucinated.

Because the capture is the deliverable, precision about the UI matters more than raw speed. Panel names, keyboard shortcuts, effect parameter locations, the difference between a ripple delete and a lift — these are the specifics that make a submission useful. Vague descriptions of what you did tend to get rejected.

What the platform screens for

  • Real Premiere use, not adjacent NLE experience. Screeners probe with version-specific and panel-specific questions; Resolve or Final Cut fluency does not substitute.
  • Windows, on your own hardware. No licences, VMs, or machines are provided. If you cannot open Premiere today on a Windows PC, you are not eligible.
  • Display capability. Screenshots must exceed 2.5 megapixels — either one high-resolution monitor (QHD, 4K, 3440×1440 ultrawide, and similar) or two 1920×1080+ monitors captured as a single spanning image. A lone 1080p screen fails.
  • Documentation discipline. Can you describe an edit operation so someone else could reproduce it exactly?

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous. Work is distributed in batches with deadlines rather than fixed shifts, so you choose your hours; most contributors treat it as part-time alongside client editing work. Pay in the $30–40/hr band reflects rates observed on Mercor for this application-expert category — it is set per project and not guaranteed. Expect an onboarding task or calibration round before volume work opens up.
