Perform Standards & Practices (S&P) compliance review of feature films and other long-form content against broadcast, platform, and client requirements, including TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA guidelines.

Identify and notate all material requiring modification: language, nudity, sexual content, violence, drug and alcohol use, graphic imagery, and other restricted content. Prepare timecode compliance notes, and version documentation accounting for every modification made to each master. Create compliant alternate versions using picture edits, audio mutes and bleeps, dialogue substitution, blurs, reframing, and other established compliance techniques.

Maintain the creative integrity, continuity, pacing, and technical quality of the original program while executing required edits, holding frame-accurate sync across picture, dialogue, and music and effects. Re-conform captions, subtitles, and secondary audio to each compliance version so all deliverable elements stay in sync with the edited master.

Maintain accurate file naming, version control, asset tracking, and delivery records so any version can be identified, sourced, and reproduced on request. Manage multiple titles and overlapping deadlines, coordinating with QC and operations on delivery dates, fix cycles, and redeliveries. Stay current on evolving broadcast Standards & Practices, advertiser suitability requirements, platform content policies, and rating body guidelines, and apply them consistently across the slate.

Minimum 3 to 5 years of professional video editing experience, preferably including feature films, long-form television, in-flight versioning and broadcast versioning. Advanced proficiency in professional non-linear editing software, ideally Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Avid Media Composer. Experience with Da. Vinci Resolve, Adobe After Effects, or comparable finishing tools is a plus.

Working knowledge of broadcast and streaming delivery specifications, including common video, audio, and caption formats.
