AI Instructor – Runway (Remote, Sub-Saharan Africa)

What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches people to create with AI tools in live classes. Your classes take learners from one generated shot in Runway to a short sequence with a consistent character, and on to edits of footage they filmed themselves, and teach them to check motion, continuity and consent for every person on screen.

The work

• Teach the live class “Turn a storyboard into a short video sequence with Runway”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Edit your own footage with text prompts in Runway”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how a reference image, a clear shot description and camera direction change a Runway generation, and how to keep a character the same from shot to shot.
• Walk learners through editing a clip they filmed: change the setting or light with a prompt, remove an object, and compare the result frame by frame with the original.
• Help learners whose shots warp, flicker or drift from the storyboard, and explain consent for real people on camera and labeling generated video when it is published.

What to expect

• Every class is live and online, in English, with learners joining from different countries. When you apply, you can also list other languages you teach in.
• A kit is ready for every class: a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo (for example a storyboard becoming shots) and a recorded backup of the demo.
• You work remotely on your own computer, with a camera, a microphone, a connection stable enough to upload and play video, and a Runway account to demo from.
• Before you teach a class for the first time, you take and pass its instructor test.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.
• Already have a course on Runway, or want to make one? You can sell your own recorded course on YPAI Learn too. Bring a course you've built, or build one with our kit. It's the same application.

What you bring

• An ad, music video, short film or social clip where you used Runway in real work, that you can show and talk through shot by shot.
• Experience teaching, running film or editing workshops, or guiding junior editors.
• Patience with learners from photography or social media who have never cut a sequence.

You need

• Hands-on use of Runway in your own video work, both generating shots from text and images and editing existing footage.
• Working knowledge of video editing: shots, cuts, frame rates, aspect ratios and exporting for different screens.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• Some employment contracts require approval for outside work; if yours does, have it in place before you accept an assignment.
• Teaching volume depends on how many learners book classes, and each invitation tells you how much time it is expected to take.
• There is no fee to apply, and you are not asked to buy or complete a YPAI Learn course.
