Position Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Video Editor to find the story in everything Autodesk Flow Studio puts on screen, from launch films and feature showcases to product demos, creator content, and paid ads. You’ll join the Flow Studio creative team reporting to the Creative Director, cutting footage from live-action shoots, AI generations, 3D renders, and screen recordings into work people want to watch to the end.
Flow Studio is the creative AI platform for modern storytellers, bringing leading AI models, editable 3D scenes, characters, worlds, animation, and camera direction together in one workspace. That means much of your footage will be made in the product itself, and part of the job is knowing which shots to generate, which to keep, and how to make AI and live action sit together in one cut.
The ideal person is a storyteller first who thinks in structure, performance, and sound, edits with a director’s instincts, already treats AI generation as another source of coverage, and wants to help build how a growing creative team makes films.
Please submit a reel or portfolio with your application and note your role on key pieces.
Responsibilities
- Edit launch films, feature showcases, product walkthroughs, explainers, and creator content, building structure from selects, scripts, and voiceover and shaping pacing so each piece holds attention from the first frame to the last
- Cut live-action shoots, interviews, and behind-the-scenes coverage into short documentaries, testimonials, and social stories that show real filmmakers and creators using Flow Studio
- Generate, select, and extend AI footage to fill coverage, fix continuity, and build sequences that would be impossible to shoot, then match it to live action through color, grain, and sound so the cut feels like one film
- Lead the sound of every piece, including music selection and editing, sound design, dialogue cleanup, and the final mix
- Color and finish your edits, integrate the motion designer’s titles and graphics, and deliver final masters to spec for every channel
- Version hero films into paid and social variants with different hooks, lengths, and aspect ratios (16:9, 4:5, and 9:16), and use performance results from paid and organic channels to sharpen the next round of cuts
- Shape how the team’s post-production runs as it grows, including project and media organization, versioning, prompt libraries, delivery specs, and the AI-assisted editing workflows the whole team can use
- Partner with the Creative Director and producer early on shoots and generated sequences so the coverage you’ll need is planned before anything gets made
Minimum Qualifications
- 6+ years of professional editing for brands, agencies, studios, or production companies, with a reel that shows strong storytelling across long-form and short-form work
- Expert-level Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve skills, with comfort in review and collaboration tools like Frame.io
- A great ear, with real skill in music editing, sound design, and audio mixing
- Solid color grading and finishing skills, including matching footage from very different sources
- Strong, current experience generating and cutting AI video into finished, published work, and an eye for which AI shots will hold up on a big screen
- Experience cutting documentary, interview, or behind-the-scenes footage into compelling short-form stories
- Experience editing product demos or tutorials for software or tech brands that make complex workflows easy to follow
- A track record of short-form social and paid creative, with a feel for what earns attention in the first few seconds and how to version for testing
- Experience setting up post-production workflows or editorial standards for an in-house team
- Trailer, commercial, or film festival editing experience is a plus
The Ideal Candidate
Flow Studio’s launch films and showcases feel cinematic, with AI and live-action footage working together so naturally that people focus on the story. Demos and walkthroughs make Flow Studio look easy to use and leave people ready to try it. Paid and social cuts improve round over round because each new version learns from how the last one performed. Has a post-production workflow that lets editors trade work midstream, find any asset quickly, and ship faster every quarter. Is a trusted editor who can take a pile of footage and a brief and return a finished, polished film with minimal direction.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Video Editor
Frame your reel for U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your portfolio needs to demonstrate degree-level work, not just technical skill. U.S. consular officers assess whether the role genuinely requires a bachelor's degree, so show projects that reflect editorial judgment, narrative structure, and creative direction, not just execution.
Target production companies with LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for media and post-production roles. An employer who has filed before understands the E-3 visa process and is far less likely to stall on sponsorship paperwork.
Clarify the specialty occupation question early
Many U.S. employers assume video editing is a trade skill, not a specialty occupation. When you get interest from a hiring manager, confirm upfront that the role requires a degree in film, communications, or a related discipline. That framing determines whether the E-3 is even available.
Secure your LCA before the consulate appointment
Your employer must file and receive a certified LCA from the DOL before you can apply for the E-3 at a U.S. consulate. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so the process runs in the right sequence without delays.
Use a freelance-to-full-time path strategically
If a studio wants to trial you on a project basis first, that work cannot be done on an E-3. You need a formal employment offer for a continuing position. Negotiate the conversion to a permanent role before your Australian work schedule makes U.S. filing timelines impractical.
Align your Australian degree equivalency before applying
A three-year Australian bachelor's in film or media production is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes, but you should have your transcripts ready and be prepared to explain the equivalency if a consular officer raises the question.
E-3 Visa Video Editor: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Video Editor jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Most job listings don't specify E-3 sponsorship by name, but any employer willing to sponsor an H-1B visa will typically consider the E-3 since it's simpler and has no lottery. Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Video Editor roles at employers with verified E-3 and LCA filing history, filtering out positions where sponsorship is unlikely.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Video Editor role actually qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It depends on how the role is defined. The E-3 requires that the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as film production, media studies, or communications. A senior editorial role with creative direction responsibilities is more defensible than a junior production assistant title. The job description your employer provides to the DOL is what consular officers assess.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Video Editor roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens but has no annual cap and no lottery, so you can apply any time you have a qualifying job offer. The H-1B is subject to an annual lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate for most applicants, meaning you could wait years. For Australian Video Editors, the E-3 is the practical path, since H-1B selection is never guaranteed.
Can my employer sponsor my E-3 if they have never done it before?
Yes, and it's more common than you might expect. The E-3 process involves the employer filing an LCA with the DOL and you attending a consulate appointment in Australia. Neither step requires prior sponsorship experience. The main barrier is employer willingness, not legal complexity. Walking your employer through the two-step process early in negotiations prevents last-minute hesitation.
