Most edits fail on the audio track long before anyone criticises the picture, and this two month placement exists to fix that end of our pipeline.
The problem you are solving
Our library holds around three hundred published videos with inconsistent loudness, music beds that drown speech, and transitions with no sonic support at all. You will work through the active ones and rebuild their sound: dialogue cleanup, a proper loudness target per platform, and music that ducks when someone talks. Alongside that you will design a small sonic identity for MailerMen, a logo sting, a notification sound for the app, three whoosh and impact variations for the motion kit, and a bed for the podcast intro.
How the eight weeks run
Weeks one and two are audit and cleanup. Weeks three to six are original design work in Audition or Reaper, with source recording encouraged rather than tolerated. The final fortnight is documentation, so the next editor knows which preset to reach for and why. Everything you make goes into a template pack the whole team uses.
Being honest about terms
The placement is unpaid, remote across India and genuinely flexible, with around fifteen hours a week suiting most people. It suits someone who wants sound credits and a designed pack rather than a wage this summer.
Responsibilities
- Audit the loudness and dialogue clarity of the existing published video library

- Record and edit original source material for the effects library where stock will not do
- Document presets and delivery targets so other editors can reuse the work
Requirements
- Final-year student or recent graduate with an interest in audio for picture
