Join to apply for the Video/Image & Media Production Expert (SME) role at Invisible Expert Marketplace

We are seeking a highly experienced Video & Media Production professional consultant to serve as a consultant on AI training data projects for leading AI model builders and enterprises. Your focus will be to define success criteria, review outputs, and provide targeted guidance to improve quality and speed — directly contributing to the successful delivery of domain-specific annotated datasets that meet the highest technical standards.

You will be engaged on specific projects with clearly defined deliverables, milestones, and end dates.

• Technical Standard Setting, Quality Control, and Process Improvement
  • Define domain-specific quality success metrics.
  • Develop project-specific SOPs, QA rubrics, and reference materials for the specific purpose of meeting client technical standards.
  • Review project outputs (videos, images, annotations) against technical standards, flagging and correcting defects before client delivery.
  • Perform structured QA passes on daily/weekly drops; flag, track, and resolve defects quickly to hit delivery deadlines.
  • Return files to contractors with precise remediation notes.
  • Provide advisory input on camera capture standards, lighting setups, and editing workflows to meet quality benchmarks.
  • Handle spec changes and edge-case scenarios — e.g., evaluation of new codec/format requests — drafting acceptance criteria or workarounds.
  • Curate example libraries of “gold standard” media for calibration and comparability to agreed sample references.
• Talent Vetting & Output Improvement
  • Participate in vetting and assessing technical contractor talent for specific projects.
  • Review sample work from contractors and provide precise, actionable written feedback to improve outputs.
  • Create targeted training or calibration resources — e.g., visual composition guidelines, compression standards, and metadata tagging practices.
• Project Delivery Support
  • Advise on technical scoping and requirements during project setup.
  • Provide expert guidance for edge cases, technical exceptions, and specification changes.
  • Contribute to post-project reviews to capture lessons learned and improve future standards.
  • Identify and summarize client model observations and insights.
  • Build dashboards or trackers with defect categories and recurrence to surface production insights that improve project outcomes.
  • Conduct post-mortems, analyze defect trends, and propose process tweaks or training refreshers.

• Deep technical expertise and 5+ years professional experience in video production, post-production, and/or image processing.
• Bachelor of design, photography or film.
• Mastery of visual media standards (resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, compression formats) and film production techniques.
• Sound understanding of the principles and elements of visual design, and the ability to assess and evaluate videos and image outputs based on principles and elements of design.
• Proven ability to set, enforce, and maintain high technical standards in media production.
• Strong communication skills for delivering clear technical guidance.
• Experience producing technical documentation, quality rubrics, or training resources.
• Ability to work within fixed project timelines and scope.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation discipline, and commitment to accuracy and consistency.
• Fluency in spoken and written English, with clear and concise writing skills.

• Video Production / Editing – Scene trimming, cut matching, transition automation.
• Computer Vision – Object tracking, scene segmentation, motion analysis.
• Multimedia Processing – Video format conversion, codec optimization.
• Deep Learning for Video – Action recognition, gesture detection, video captioning.
• Animation / Motion Graphics – Title generation, kinetic typography, logo animation.
• Video Compression / Optimization – Bitrate control, resolution adjustment, encoder tuning.
• 3D Rendering & Effects – CGI layering, shadow/light simulation, camera path modeling.
• Post-Production – Color grading assistance, chroma keying,…
