Core Technical Competencies

1. High-Volume Versioning & Motion Graphics

• Mastery of Premiere Pro & After Effects: Ability to take a single "Master" sequence and generate a high volume of variants (e.g., 90s, 30s, 15s, and 6s).

• Dynamic Asset Replacement: Proficiency in swapping on-screen text (OST), title treatments, and endslates while maintaining visual consistency.

• Resolution & Aspect Ratio Management: Expertise in reframing and upscaling/downscaling between 4K (3840x2160) and social-ready formats (9:16, 4:5, 1:1) without quality loss or pixelation.

2. Technical Localization Engineering

• Data-Driven Workflow: Ability to interpret complex Versioning Sheets to map specific languages, legal disclaimers, and Call-to-Action (CTA) options to the correct video render.

• Global Compliance Knowledge: Understanding of regional "Legal Lines" and rating board requirements (e.g., PEGI, ESRB, USK) to ensure the correct icons and descriptors are applied per territory.

• Audio/Mnemonic Integration: Experience inserting localized audio "Mnemonics" and audible ratings at precise time-stamps for first-party platform compliance.

3. Systems & Pipeline Troubleshooting

• Cross-Architecture Optimization: Knowledge of hardware-specific performance issues, such as ensuring plugins and filters function correctly across both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel architectures.

• Digital Asset Management (DAM): Experience using professional cloud storage or AEM environments to lock, edit, and sync large source files (e.g., 11GB+ zip archives).

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Technical Accuracy: Zero-defect delivery regarding resolution, frame rate, and legal disclaimer placement.

• Linguistic Quality Control: Identifying and resolving text-overflow or formatting issues during the Linguistic Sign-Off (LSO) phase.

• SLA Compliance: Delivering high-priority "Batch 1" assets (e.g., 30s/15s trailers) on accelerated timelines when necessary.

What to Consider Before Applying

• Not ideal as a full time job or primary income source. Work availability fluctuates with project demand, making this better suited as a supplemental income stream. As a 1099 contractor, you won't receive benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, or retirement contributions, and hours are not guaranteed.

• Requires reliable availability and commitment. Once you accept a task, we expect quality work and on-time delivery. If your schedule is unpredictable, this may not be the right fit.

• Geographic restrictions may apply. We cannot engage contractors in regions subject to international embargo or sanctions. As a 1099 contractor, you are solely responsible for your own tax obligations. We recommend consulting a tax professional before engaging.
