Short-Form Video Creator

Overview

Handshake AI is looking for social media video creators and editors to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity for creators who can contribute original short-form vertical video and, when needed, explain how they edit their content so it can help AI better understand real creator workflows.

The work is remote and asynchronous, with no fixed schedule or minimum hourly requirement. Projects may open periodically across different areas of expertise throughout the year.

What You’ll Do

• Provide raw video clips from your own original content for AI training use.
• Share details about your editing approach, including cuts, on-screen text, pacing, and talking-to-camera style, when requested.
• Follow project-specific instructions on the types of clips and content needed.
• Complete tasks remotely at your own pace.

Qualifications

• Post original vertical video at least three times per week; reposts, compilations, and trending-sound-only clips do not qualify.
• Edit your own content with visible cuts, on-screen text, and intentional pacing.
• Create footage that is well lit, steady, and has clear audio.
• Be comfortable talking to camera.
• Be willing to share raw clips for AI training.
• Ensure every person appearing on camera is an adult who has agreed to appear.

Required for All Applicants

• Must be 18 years old or older.
• Must have U.S. work authorization.
• Need strong attention to detail and the ability to follow written project guidelines.
• Must have rights to the footage shared and consent from every person who appears on camera.
• Must be able to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.

Additional Factors That Strengthen an Application

• A following of roughly 10,000 to 100,000, with engagement around 2% to 3% or higher.
• Content in niches such as cooking, DIY and how-to, product demos, pets, fitness, daily routines, or hobbies.

Not a Fit If

• The account features children, such as family channels.
• The content is mainly reposted, clipped, or copyrighted material such as TV, music, or celebrity clips.
• The account is faceless, a slideshow, or AI-generated.
• The content is gameplay or screen recordings only.
