There are potentially two job openings available (or 2 jobs for 1 person): One to edit and re-encode previous videos, and two, to edit current and future videos being created.
Job #1 (Editing and re-encoding existing videos) would be ~10-20 hrs/week but flexible because there’s no hard deadline to get them done.

Job Opening: “Assistant Video Editor” (10-20 hrs/week, flexible)
We are looking for an intermediate *knowledge* level pianist with experience in video editing to work from home assisting with.
Technical Qualifications / Requirements
- Have experience doing video editing (specific software doesn’t matter)
- Strong attention to detail
- Quick learner and quick worker.
It doesn’t matter what video editing software you have experience with, because you’ll be doing fairly specific tasks that I can train you on. FYI previous videos were edited on Vegas Pro, so if you have experience with that software it’s a bonus, but if you’re good at video editing I can get you up to speed on Vegas Pro quickly.
Tasks Include:
- Edit & assemble recorded footage and audio
- Add graphics/information to enhance videos
- Correct white balance/contrast for videos as needed
- Add chords/charts as needed to enhance videos
Pluses:
-Owning Adobe Photoshop or compatible software that can open PSD image files is a plus
-Knowing how to use Sibelius (sheet music software) is a plus
-Knowing how to upload files via Dropbox & FTP is a plus
Skill Qualifications As A Keyboardist
- Easily recognize all inversions of Maj7 / min7 / sus2 / su4 chords etc and be able to label the note numbers
- Understand timing to break down music / chords / notes into 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16th notes
- Write out simple chord charts broken into bars of songs you know or chords/lyrics taken from ultimate-guitar.com etc.
You should be familiar with the training style and video presentations done in the PianoGenius.com members area.
If this sounds interesting to you, fill out this form to take the next step. You’d be working directly with me (Tim), and since I don’t expect most people to have experience with the specific software I use, it’s more important that you be trainable and motivated, as long as you’re an experienced video editor.
