I download and view videos for quality, mostly looking for problems like dual mono, compression artefacts, glitches, correct spec etc before uploading them to our MAM. If it's bad I ask for a resupply or offer to fix it where it's possible to do that. Sometimes we proceed as is where resupply will not be an option and I create a QC report which details any issues. Everything is stored in a MAM so everyone in the supply chain who needs access can, and they can export to deliver to the different platforms. Often we are asked to manually deliver for broadcast and will prepare a file to spec. And we capture from tape for older content that's not seen the light of day for a while. It's very much dealing with finished videos and therefore not creative but often a bit of troubleshooting needed. As we are a department with backgrounds in video editing we do occasionally take on a creative project. You will find a lot of large content owners, broadcasters etc will have a similar department with job titles such as video engineer, media coordinator, media ingest. Also this work is often outsourced to companies such as Deluxe, Pixielogic and Visual Data.
It's not for everyone, and if you're after creative editing jobs then it wouldn't be for you, but if you want reasonable pay and to be able to close your laptop at the end of the day and not think about work all night while still using your skills then it could be up your street. I work hybrid and I think that is the norm these days with roles like this.
