We’re looking for a full-time Episode Editor to take full ownership of post-production for #ABtalks episodes, from raw footage to a final-ready master. You’ll shape pacing, emotion, and storytelling while maintaining the show’s signature tone and visual consistency.
Key Responsibilities
- Edit full-length episodes end-to-end (multi-cam interview format).
- Build the story: structure, pacing, tension/release, and emotional beats.
- Sync and organize multi-camera footage + audio; manage selects and timelines.
- Color correction and basic grading to match the show’s look (or prep for final grade).
- Audio cleanup/mixing basics (dialog clarity, levels, noise reduction) or coordinate with sound if applicable.
- Integrate graphics, subtitles/captions, cutaways/B-roll, and archival where needed.
- Smart cropping if needed that would not be noticeable.
- Create deliverables: final masters, social cutdowns (if required), and platform-specific exports.
- Maintain clean project organization (bins, naming conventions, backups, versioning).
- Collaborate closely with the release and production coordinator, producer, consultant as well for notes and revisions under deadlines.
- Ensure consistency across episodes (style, rhythm, branding, technical specs).
Requirements
- Strong narrative editing skills (interview/story-driven content).
- Proven experience delivering full episodes (podcast/interview/docu-style).
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (or Avid/DaVinci Resolve—specify your pipeline).
- Confident workflow with multi-cam, proxies, and shared storage.
- Strong understanding of dialogue-driven pacing and emotional storytelling.
- High attention to detail, deadlines, and feedback cycles.
- Fluent in Arabic and English (depending on your episodes; add requirements as needed).
Nice to Have
- Experience with long-form talk shows or documentary edits.
- After Effects basics (titles, lower thirds, simple animations).
- Experience with Arabic subtitle standards and readability.
- DaVinci Resolve color workflow familiarity.
What Success Looks Like
- Episodes that feel emotionally true, tightly paced, and consistent with the #ABtalks identity.
- Fast, organized turnovers and smooth revision cycles.
- Reliable delivery of final exports meeting technical specs.
