Freelance Post Production Producer (360° VR)

Your mission
To strengthen our team on a project basis, we are looking for a Freelance Post Production Producer (360° VR) who will take ownership of our immersive post-production from raw footage to final delivery. This is a primarily remote, project-based collaboration with a workload that typically varies depending on project needs.
This role is ideal for an experienced 360° VR video editor / immersive post-production specialist who wants to own the full pipeline from rough stitch to final delivery.

Compensation:
Freelance day rate typically between 400–500 € per day (net, plus VAT where applicable), depending on experience and profile.

Role in the company
As a Freelance Post-production Producer, you are the operational heart of 360° VR post-production at L1VE. You implement what others only plan: you take responsibility for stitching, editing, color grading, 3D audio and delivery – from raw material to final submission.

Your focus will be on developing and implementing attractive, tailor-made concepts for our platform and events. You know the technical and aesthetic requirements of immersive media inside out – and you deliver with the precision, speed and quality standards that characterize L1VE.
You will work closely with our Senior Postproduction Manager and the content team on a freelance basis to build and run a scalable post-production “machine”.

Your responsibilities
* Carry out the entire 360° VR post-production process operationally: stitching (Mistika VR), color grading (DaVinci Resolve), compositing & finishing (After Effects) and final delivery in all relevant formats – independently, from start to finish.
* Take responsibility for spatial audio post-production: 3D audio editing, ambisonics processing and coordination with the sound team – with the goal of delivering a fully immersive experience in image and sound.
* Actively maintain and further develop the post-production pipeline: proxy workflows, file structures, naming conventions, status tracking in Planner – you make sure that every step is documented and traceable.
* Ensure quality at every stage of production: technical QC in image and audio, compliance with delivery specs, approvals – you do not send out anything that is not L1VE level.
* Coordinate closely with the Senior Postproduction Manager, the content team and tech – and provide clear, early feedback if timelines, material or specs don’t fit.
* Accompany productions on-set when needed: you know the camera setups, understand what is needed for post-production, and make sure that the material arrives exactly as required.
* Whether it’s live sports, music events or brand productions: you are the last resort before submission – and you know what it means when your name is attached to it.
Your profile
Experience, knowledge and skills
* At least 2 years of practical experience in 360° VR or immersive post-production – you have already carried out real projects independently from rough stitch to delivery.
* Hands-on experience with:
* Mistika VR (stitching & optical flow)
* DaVinci Resolve (color grading & finishing)
* After Effects (compositing, effects, equirectangular workflows)
* Solid understanding of 3D spatial audio workflows (Ambisonics, Dolby Atmos, binaural rendering) – you know how image and sound work together to create an immersive experience.
* Experience with proxy workflows and large file pipelines (RAW, ProRes, 8K+) and the ability to organize raw footage so that a team can work with it – not just you alone.
* Familiarity with PM tools such as Microsoft Planner, Notion or Confluence – you can independently maintain, document and make your project status transparent.
Personal competencies & mindset
* Hands-on to the core – you sit at the timeline, not in the meeting.
* Precise and quality-conscious – you see mistakes that others don’t see, and you don’t let them through.
* Resilient under pressure – live productions don’t wait, neither do you.
* Real enthusiasm for immersive media, 360° VR and what makes spatial audio an experience.
* Communicative and reliable – your team, your manager and your partners always know where a project stands.
Educational requirements
* Completed studies or training in media production, film, audio engineering, media management or a comparable field – or an equivalent qualification through proven practical experience in immersive post-production.
* Mistika VR, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects are your daily tools – you can run optical flow stitching, equirectangular compositing workflows, and 360°-specific color pipelines on your own.
Language requirements
* English and German: fluent in business – you communicate confidently with international teams, studios and brand partners.
* Any additional languages are a plus.
Travel
* Be available for occasional travel to sets, events and partner locations; travel days will be planned and agreed with you in advance.
We are not looking for someone who has done "something with media". We are looking for someone who knows what 360° material smells like when it is good – and what you have to do to make it sound and look like it. If that’s you: bring it on.
Why us?
* Shape the future of immersive media: Build one of the leading 360° VR post-production pipelines in the industry – for picture and 3D audio – and set new standards for quality and innovation.
* Real impact on global productions: Work on high-profile projects in sports, music and brand partnerships where your decisions in post-production directly influence what millions of people experience.
* Build your own “engine room”: Help design processes, select tools and structure workflows so that post-production runs like a high-performance machine – with you in the driver’s seat on the operational side.
* Work with a strong, interdisciplinary team: Collaborate closely with creatives, technologists and strategists who all share the same goal: delivering the best immersive experiences on the market.
* Flexible freelance collaboration: Work remotely most of the time, with the option to join us on-site for key productions and milestones.Hybrid work model, modern tools and a setup that allows you to combine deep-focus work in post-production with on-site production moments.
