3. Review AI suggestions concerning media formats and codec compliance to guarantee smooth delivery for AVID/ProTools interchange and XML/EDL exports.
4. Validate AI-generated user interface (UI) guidelines, especially related to the fixed and flexible layout options unique to Lightworks.
5. Detect and resolve complex project-sharing and metadata issues, offering feedback to enhance the AI system’s comprehension.
6. Ensure AI accurately describes workflows involving proxy media, local and linked files, along with sophisticated media management techniques.
7. Confirm the proper application of node-based effects and LUT adjustments within Lightworks projects.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

1. Proven expertise in Lightworks, with a focus on fast, keyboard-centric editing workflows.
2. Extensive background in video production, editing, and composition within professional or high-volume settings.
3. In-depth knowledge of link-based versus local media workflows and proxy management in the Lightworks environment.
4. Strong skills in advanced VFX, color grading, and implementation of node-based effects.
5. Capability to troubleshoot complex technical problems, including metadata inconsistencies and challenges in collaborative projects.
6. Familiarity with industry-standard delivery formats, interchange protocols, and workflow optimization strategies.
7. High attention to detail and dedication to producing excellent post-production outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Previous experience as a junior film editor, post-production specialist, or video producer with substantial use of Lightworks.
2. Practical knowledge of multi-cam editing and advanced console operations, including the Shark console, in Lightworks.
3. Experience working with AI tools or participating in evaluation processes related to media production is advantageous.
