Short-Form Video Creator

On Handshake AI, run by Handshake

Up to $30/hr

Part-time data work for AI research: creators supply raw clips from their own vertical videos and explain how they edit them, so AI models learn how real creators film and cut content. It suits US-authorized adults who post original, self-edited short-form video several times a week.

01 · The role

What you would do

  • Hand over raw footage from your own original videos to be used in training AI
  • Describe your editing choices, such as cuts, on-screen text and pacing, when a project asks
  • Stick to each project's guidance on which kinds of clips and content it needs
  • Work remotely on your own schedule, with no minimum hours

02 · Requirements

What they ask for

  • Age 18 or over, with US work authorization
  • At least three original vertical videos posted a week (not reposts, compilations or trending-sound clips)
  • You edit your own videos, with visible cuts, on-screen text and deliberate pacing
  • Steady, well-lit footage with clear sound, and ease speaking to camera
  • Rights to the footage you share, and consent from every adult who appears in it; accounts featuring children are not a fit

Helpful, not required

  • Content in niches that suit editing, such as cooking, DIY, product demos, pets, fitness or hobbies

Not in Africa

As far as the listing and Handshake AI's country rules show, this role is not open to people living in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa or Egypt. Handshake AI in Africa

Apply from where you live, as yourself. Using a VPN or someone else's identity to get around a country rule breaks these platforms' terms, and it is the quickest way to lose an account and any unpaid earnings.

Where the listing names no countries, the Africa status is our reading of it and of what is known of Handshake AI's country rules, set out on its profile, and never marks a role more open than they show. The listing itself has the final word.
