About The Role
Kuku TV is looking for a Mid-Senior Video Editor (2–5 years) who can turn scripts, performances, live-action footage, and AI-generated visuals into high-retention, binge-worthy micro-dramas. This role is ideal for an editor who understands that great short-form storytelling is not just about cutting footage—it’s about hooking viewers, building emotion, escalating conflict, and ending every episode with a reason to watch the next one.
You’ll work across live-action + AI-generated content in a quick-paced, high-volume episodic production environment.

Create powerful opening hooks, emotional peaks, reveals, twists, payoffs, and cliffhangers.
Shape dialogue, performances, music, SFX, voiceovers, and visuals into compelling narratives.
Select the strongest takes to maximise emotion, conflict, suspense, and character relationships.
Maintain strong pacing, visual rhythm, dialogue clarity, narrative progression, and audience retention.
Apply principles of information control, escalating conflict, pattern interruption, and retention-driven editing.
? Mobile-First Storytelling
Edit specifically for vertical 9:16 formats and mobile viewing.
Maintain strong composition, visual hierarchy, readable performances, and screen impact.
Understand how to optimise storytelling for short attention spans and binge consumption.
? AI Video & VFX
Work confidently with AI-generated characters, environments, performances, and shots.
Identify and fix AI-video issues such as facial inconsistencies, lip-sync errors, flickering, warping, unnatural movement, frame instability, and continuity issues.
Handle AI-assisted post-production including lip-sync correction, cleanup, upscaling, frame interpolation, shot extension, masking, tracking, compositing, and background replacement.
Know when an AI shot can be fixed in post-production and when it needs to be regenera
