Description

THE CRITERION COLLECTION is hiring an EDITING ASSISTANT CRITERION is a New York-based company of about 50 people devoted to bringing a carefully curated library of international classic and contemporary films together with an audience of passionate movie lovers. With in-house departments devoted to design, editorial, image and sound restoration, production, and post-production, we produce a celebrated line of DVDs and Blu-rays; publish an online magazine, The Current; release new films and restorations in theaters through our partner company, Janus Films; and run our own streaming service, The Criterion Channel. The EDITING ASSISTANT position is slightly different from a traditional Assistant Editor role. The Editing Assistant is responsible for coordinating projects and media with off-site freelance editors and then conforming the resulting edits once the edit comes back in house. This includes re-linking and conforming online media, formatting lower-3rds and subtitles, making last-minute content changes at the request of a supervising producer, and ensuring the timeline is up to spec before handing off to the online editor and sound mixer. Less-frequent duties include comparing different versions of the same film for discrepancies, conforming feature timelines from multiple sources, and cutting down archival programs according to producer notes. You might be right for this job if you have a deep, technical understanding of Premiere Pro and are adept at identifying and correcting problems such as mismatched frame rates and conversion artifacts. You should be comfortable troubleshooting and finding work-arounds for unexpected Premiere quirks and bugs. While at least 90% of your time will be spent in Premiere, familiarity with Da Vinci Resolve, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, Avid, Pro Tools, and/or Photoshop is also a plus. Since you will be keeping track of many edits from many editors (all with different styles and levels of technical competency) and prepping them for other departments, you will need to be devoutly methodical and organized. If you are looking to do a lot of creative editing and story shaping, you may not enjoy this job. But if you enjoy the pursuit of technical quality precision in your craft, along with a salary, benefits, and regular work hours, we’d love to hear from you!
