AI-Powered video creation:

Video editing & Post-Production: 

  • Develop campaigns using both AI-generated content with traditional video editing tools such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve to ensure a polished, on-brand final result.

  • Enhance AI outputs through color grading, sound design, and detailed post-production finishing touches.

  • Create reusable editing templates and systems to quickly adapt content for different markets and audiences.

Technical enablement & workflow optimization: 

  • Set up and maintain AI-based video workflows, from tool testing and selection to automation and integration.

  • Work closely with creative, innovation, and tech teams to bring new ideas to life.

  • Document processes, run ad-hoc sessions, create guides, and provide support to build internal capabilities.

  • Experiment with and fine-tune AI models for video tasks to ensure consistency, scalability, and output quality.
