Rate

Watch, then score against the guide. You won’t see who made an edit or how others scored it until results lock.

Log in to get your rating queue.

New raters start by scoring two reference edits, so everyone uses the guide the same way.

The scoring guide

	1	2	3	4	5
Creativity	Predictable. Follows the footage in order with no point of view.	One or two fresh ideas, but mostly safe choices.	A clear idea shapes the edit, even if it is familiar.	Surprising choices that serve the brief.	A distinctive take you would remember. It reframes the footage.
Pacing	Drags or rushes throughout. Cuts feel random.	Uneven. Several moments overstay or feel clipped.	Cuts land on the beat or the line most of the time.	The rhythm builds and releases on purpose.	Every cut feels inevitable. Timing is precise from start to finish.
Storytelling	Hard to follow. No clear beginning, middle or end.	Some structure, but the point gets lost.	A clear arc that a viewer can follow.	A strong arc with a hook and a satisfying ending.	Emotionally engaging. Every shot moves the story forward.
Effects	Effects, grading or titles distract or look broken.	They work, but feel generic or overused.	Clean, fitting effects, grading and titles.	Polished work that adds to the mood.	Invisible where it should be, striking where it counts.
Overall quality	Does not meet the brief.	Meets part of the brief, with clear technical issues.	Meets the brief cleanly.	A strong, confident edit with few weaknesses.	Portfolio-ready. You would share it as an example.
