1. Why This Role Exists
Canvas AI is building the Lego set for AI agents. To prove what’s possible, we’re launching a YouTube channel that blends VOX-style explainers, Johnny Harris travel narratives, and Search Party’s punchy motion graphics. You’ll edit those pieces while pioneering an AI-first workflow—pairing classic craft (story, rhythm, color) with tools like Runway, Pika, and ElevenLabs. Friendly collaborators only—ego-free zone.
2. What You’ll Do
Responsibility
Edit Long-Form Episodes (8-15 min): craft narrative arcs, layer cinematic B-roll, design kinetic text & data viz, add subtle sound design.
Edit Short-Form Hits (30-90 sec): hook viewers in 2 sec, remix long-form cuts, optimize for vertical feeds (YT Shorts, Reels, TikTok).
Motion & Graphics: maps, infographics, lower-thirds, hand-drawn annotations that scream “VOX × Johnny Harris.”
Storyboarding & Pre-Pro: collaborate with writers to pre-visualize sequences, propose B-roll lists, flag narrative gaps early.
Asset Management: keep projects ruthlessly organized; version every cut on Frame.io.
Creative R&D: test fresh editing & AI techniques, share monthly “what’s next” show-and-tell.
3. Must-Have Skills & Experience
- Portfolio power: 3–5 edits and 2–3 animation pieces that prove you can marry story, pace, and motion design.
- Tool belt: Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve and After Effects (or Blender) at pro level; Audition/Fairlight for audio.
- Animation chops: kinetic type, data-driven charts, 2.5-D parallax, motion-tracked call-outs.
- AI curiosity: hands-on (or itching-to-try) Runway Gen-2, Pika, Stable Audio, EbSynth, etc.
- Journalistic brain: turn dense AI/tech ideas into clear visual metaphors.
- No-diploma flex: degree irrelevant—skill and taste rule.
