Video Editor - Remote (Los Angeles)
The Video Editor is a creative role that blends foundational video editing skills with emerging AI-powered tools to support the creation of high-quality paid media content. Working under the guidance of senior editors, this individual is responsible for everything from project setup and assembly cuts to managing versions, preparing files for delivery, and occasionally finishing smaller edits independently.
This role is ideal for someone who is technically curious, eager to grow, and excited about the future of AI in media production. The Video Editor actively learns and applies tools such as Runway, Midjourney, DALL·E, Google Imagen, and Adobe Sensei to assist with content creation and workflow enhancement. As a developing post-production specialist, this person supports both video and photo teams, occasionally helping with retouching tasks and collaborating across disciplines to ensure efficient execution and elevated output.
With a strong commitment to learning, experimentation, and precision, this individual is not only a reliable contributor to the post-production process, but also a key part of Harbor Freight’s future-focused investment in AI-driven creativity.
