Rotoscoping & Video Cleanup

Budget: $260 USD per clip
Volume: Ongoing batches
Location: Remote (Offshore talent preferred)

About the Project

We are recruiting on behalf of a leading AI research organisation to build a large library of decomposed video clips for use as machine learning training data.
This is a high-volume, ongoing role suited to freelancers with strong rotoscoping and compositing fundamentals. No creative or scripting work is required.

The Work

Each clip (15–30 seconds) needs to be carefully separated into individual layers - isolating foreground subjects from the background, and producing a clean, reconstructed background once the subject is removed.
Full technical specifications will be provided upon selection.

Who We’re Looking For

• Mid-level experience in rotoscoping and compositing
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work consistently to a deadline
• Comfortable working to a standardised delivery pipeline
• Ability to handle volume work reliably

Budget

$260 USD per clip, paid upon delivery and approval.

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

• A short introduction and your background
• Examples of previous rotoscoping or compositing work
• Your estimated turnaround time per clip
• Your available capacity (clips per week)

Successful applicants will be required to sign an NDA prior to receiving source files.
