• Organize project files, media assets, compositions, and versions to support efficient collaboration and production workflows.
• Prepare projects and assets for editorial, audio, color, Flame, and After Effects workflows when required.
• Perform quality control on final deliverables to ensure they meet creative, technical, brand, and platform specifications.
• Explore and apply AI-enabled creative tools responsibly to support ideation, asset development, editing, motion design, content adaptation, and production efficiency.
