AI Video Editor

Join to apply for the AI Video Editor / Graphic Designer role at Ottomatik.io . Job Summary Our US‑based client is a consumer products eCommerce business located in Batavia, IL, importing private‑label products to the United States and selling them online through Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Wayfair, Overstock.com, and select broker‑dealers. The Video Editor / Graphic Designer (AI‑First) will transform extensive product photography and brand assets into high‑impact videos and motion graphics for marketplace listings and social channels. This entry‑to‑mid‑level role focuses on building video at scale using AI—image‑to‑video, text‑to‑video, generative motion, and automated editing—while also delivering conversion‑driven graphics such as thumbnails, A+ modules, and infographics. The ideal candidate is a creative technologist who is fast, detail‑oriented, and comfortable iterating in a seasonal eCommerce environment. Key Responsibilities Transform still product/lifestyle photos into scroll‑stopping videos using AI (image‑to‑video, motion frames, parallax/3D photo, camera moves, and animated product callouts). Generate supplemental footage with AI (virtual environments, product B‑roll, hands/usage simulations) to fill gaps where live video is limited—while staying brand‑true and compliant. Build motion‑graphic templates (hooks, lower thirds, spec overlays, end cards) to scale variations across SKUs and marketplaces. Design high‑conversion graphics: thumbnails/hero images, comparison charts, infographics, storefront banners, and A+ content modules aligned to marketplace specs. Create short‑form variations (5–15s hooks, 9:16/1:1/16:9 crops) from master edits; automate captioning, resizing, and exports. Use AI tools for cleanup and enhancement (background removal/extension, object replacement, relighting, upscaling, noise reduction, auto‑captions/VO). Collaborate with product, marketing, and sales teams to translate briefs into storyboards/scripts; tailor creatives to improve CTR, watch‑through, and conversion. Manage a reusable asset library (presets, prompts, LUTs, motion kits, brand styles) and maintain file hygiene/version control. Run lightweight A/B tests on hooks, thumbnails, and first frames; report learnings and iterate. Ensure deliverables meet platform requirements (dimensions, duration, file size, safe areas) and accessibility best practices (captions/contrast/legibility). Requirements / Qualifications 1+ years of experience in video editing, motion graphics, or graphic design (internships count). Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator) or equivalent. Hands‑on experience using AI for video/image workflows (e.g., image‑to‑video, generative fill, background/cleanup, VO cloning, upscaling, auto‑captioning). Strong visual design: typography, layout, color, and product‑forward storytelling tailored to marketplace and social. Organized and detail‑driven; able to manage multiple projects, keep tidy timelines, and deliver on deadlines. Portfolio with examples of AI‑assisted video from stills/mixed assets and conversion‑oriented graphic design (links required). Preferred Skills (Nice To Have) Familiarity with tools such as Sora, Runway, Pika, CapCut, Descript, Topaz, Midjourney/Firefly features, and AE expressions for automation. Knowledge of marketplace creative standards (Amazon/Walmart video modules, A+ content, image stacks, thumbnail best practices). Basic sound design/VO editing; prompt writing and lightweight scripting/automation to speed repeatable tasks. Understanding of how creative impacts CTR/ACOS/ROAS; comfort reading simple performance dashboards. Key Outcomes (First 90 Days) Build a reusable AI‑video toolkit (prompts, presets, motion templates) to convert stills into platform‑ready videos at scale. Produce video + graphic packages for top SKUs (hero video, 2–3 short hooks, thumbnail set, A+ visuals). Establish a rapid A/B testing loop for thumbnails and first‑frame hooks; document learnings. Tools & Environment Core: Adobe CC (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator). AI Assist: image‑/text‑to‑video, background cleanup/relight, upscalers, transcription/captioning, and VO tools as needed. File management via shared drives; tasks in standard project management tools. Compensation Salary range: 1,800 – 2,200 USD/month. Discretionary bi‑annual bonuses based on performance. Working hours and time‑zone Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM CST, with flexibility. If this opportunity sounds good to you, send us your resume #J-18808-Ljbffr
