Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Bachelor's Degree)

  • Full-length feature or series episode — independently assemble from raw footage through picture lock, making autonomous creative and technical decisions aligned with the director's vision.
  • Complex multi-track timelines — manage and optimize within professional NLE systems, resolving technical issues such as frame-rate mismatches, sync errors, and codec conflicts without supervision.
  • Shot selection across an entire narrative arc — evaluate and refine to construct a logically ordered and emotionally resonant story from large volumes of unscripted or documentary footage.
  • Music, dialogue, and sound effects layers — blend and sequence with precision to achieve a polished audio-visual product ready for sound mix hand-off.
  • Non-routine editorial problems — diagnose and resolve, including correcting continuity errors, covering missing coverage, and re-cutting sequences to address story clarity issues identified in test screenings.
  • Cross-departmental collaboration — lead editorial conversations with directors, producers, composers, and VFX supervisors to align creative intent across post-production disciplines.
  • Digital video effects and compositing elements — evaluate and integrate from VFX vendors, providing technical and creative feedback to ensure consistency with the edited cut.
  • Final product quality — assess by screening assembled edits on calibrated monitors and articulating specific, actionable corrective notes grounded in both technical standards and storytelling principles.
  • Editing workflows and pipeline tools — design and implement for a project, selecting appropriate software combinations across NLE, audio, graphics, and media management platforms.
  • Time-sensitive delivery formats — prepare and export finished edits in multiple broadcast, streaming, and theatrical specifications, ensuring technical compliance with distributor requirements.
