You send us footage and a brief, we send you back a finished edit, free of charge. No cost, no upsell, no catch. We have talented video editors on standby who are ready to help and can ensure that your videos are delivered back to you within the time constraints you provide.
What You'll Get
A completed edit of your footage, built to the brief you give us, free.
What We Need From You
The raw footage. Everything you'd hand a freelance editor: all usable clips, b-roll, separate audio, logos, graphics, any assets you want included.
A detailed brief. The more specific, the better the result. Useful things to include:
Where it's going (Instagram, YouTube, your website, a trade show loop) and target length
Tone and pacing — punchy and fast, calm and documentary, something else
Music preferences, or whether you're supplying a track
Captions or subtitles, and in what style
Brand colors, fonts, logo placement
Moments that must stay in, and anything that must come out
One or two example videos whose style you like
Any deadline you're working toward
How Your Footage Is Used
We want to be explicit about this:
Your footage is used to evaluate AI model capabilities on real-world editing tasks — how well models handle an actual brief with actual material.
Your footage is not used as training data.
It isn't resold, published, or shared outside this evaluation work.
Who This Is For
Small businesses, solo creators, nonprofits, and anyone sitting on footage they haven't had the time, budget, or software to turn into something finished. No prior editing experience needed — you don't have to know the terminology, just what you want the video to feel like.
Before You Submit
Please confirm you own the footage or have the rights to use it, and that anyone clearly identifiable in it has agreed to appear
We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
Contract and Payment Terms
You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
