JOB: LCC video editor

The LCS Podcast and Language Creation Conference need video editors to transform raw video rips and audio from LCC3 into well-cut, polished final products.

Raw audio is provided as mp3 or m4a format audio. Video is provided as actual MiniDV tapes. Slides are provided as PDF, PPT, ODP, and/or Keynote files.

What you'll need to do is:

  1. rip the tapes (some of which have issues requiring some manual adjusting, and four of which require an HD camera to rip)
  2. remove clips that are distractingly irrelevant (e.g. setting up) and subtitle those that are inaudible (e.g. audience questions that weren't voiced into a mic)
  3. intercut slides, or have a side-by-side view of speaker and slides
  4. add an intro sequence with logos, speaker photo, talk title, etc
  5. decide which audio source(s) to use based on quality - there are three: the mixer, the main camera, and the secondary (audience) camera
  6. run audio & video through filters if needed to improve quality
  7. export to DVD, Google Video, and web compatible formats

We can provide rips of the non-HD tapes, but they're quite large (22 files, 166GB) and have audio/video sync issues that will need correction; you may have better luck ripping them yourself.

See this post as an example of a final edit from LCC2.


If you can do this, please contact us at , with your relevant experience and desired price per hour of tape.

Thanks!
