screen capture program / design & editing

AI training jobs for designers and editors. The forty undo steps are the data.

An exported file reveals what you made and hides which panel you opened first, the three crops you rejected, the keyboard shortcut you reach for without thinking. Graphic and UI designers, video editors, retouchers, 3D artists, and audio producers run a small recorder in whichever creative apps they allow, and eeko's data team pays $25 for every hour of recording a reviewer accepts. The process is what is licensed. The finished work stays yours, or your client's, exactly as before.

What is an AI training job for a designer or editor?

An AI training job for designers and editors pays you to record your screen while you do professional creative work, so that AI agents can learn to drive design, video, 3D, and audio software the way a trained person does. No annotation, no rating generated images, no surveys. You open the brief, the recorder captures only the apps you allowed, you work as you always do, you add a one-line note about the task, and you are paid per hour a reviewer accepts.

The reason it is worth money is simple: image and video generators have seen billions of finished pieces and almost no process. Nobody has recorded, with consent, how a retoucher builds a frequency-separation stack or how an editor finds the cut. eeko builds production AI systems for enterprises, and our data team collects this material because the agents those systems will run on need it, with a verifiable record on every item. This program sits alongside office work and customer support; every program and its rate is listed at get paid to train AI.

The process is licensed. The work is not.

Creative people are right to ask who owns what. The split is deliberate and written into the participation agreement.

licensed to buyers
The recording of how you worked

The screen capture of allowed apps, the clicks and keystrokes inside them, and your short note on the task. Used to teach and benchmark AI agents that drive creative software.

  • Sequence Which tool, which panel, in what order
  • Decisions What you tried, kept, and discarded
  • Inputs Shortcuts, drags, and dial moves inside the allowed windows
  • Context Your short note on what the brief was
stays with you
Everything you made and everything you used

No rights in the output change hands. The files are not extracted from the recording and are not delivered. Licensing finished pieces is a separate, optional path through eeko's creator licensing program.

  • Output The design, the cut, the model, the mix: yours or your client's
  • Sources Raw footage, PSDs, project files, and stems are never pulled out
  • Assets Stock, fonts, and plugins on screen stay licensed to you, not to anyone else
  • Clients Client work is recorded only with their written agreement

Creative workflows AI teams are paying to watch.

Any professional creative software counts. These are the disciplines with the most demand right now.

Editing timeline recording image · 2100 × 900
A cut taking shape: every trim, every scrub, every grade adjustment, recorded from the apps on the allow list only.

A recorder that sees your tools and nothing else on your machine.

Allow list only

During onboarding you name the creative apps it may capture. Your browser, messages, email, and the rest of the desktop are invisible to it unless you add them, and most people do not.

No camera, no audio

The tool has no access to your webcam or microphone. A persistent indicator shows when it is on, and a single click pauses it for a call, a client message, or a file you would rather keep private.

Local until you upload

Sessions stay on your computer until you have scrubbed through them and chosen to send. Delete any you have second thoughts about. Uninstall it the day you want to stop.

Redacted before review

Names, email addresses, account details, and credentials that appear in a layer, a comment, or a dialog are masked before a reviewer sees the session. Password fields are masked at capture.

$25 an accepted hour, on top of the project fee.

How the money works

  • Per accepted hour — $25 for each hour of recording that clears review, not for each hour you sat at the desk. Renders you walk away from and pauses are never uploaded.
  • What to expect — once the allow list is set and you remember the notes, 70 to 85 percent of uploads typically clear. Eight accepted out of ten recorded is $200; thirty hours at that ratio is roughly $600.
  • Extra, not instead — your project fee, salary, or day rate is unchanged. This is a licence payment for recordings, under a short participation agreement, not employment and not a wage.
  • First hour guaranteed — the first hour you record is paid even if it comes back, with notes on what to fix.
  • Stripe, itemized — accepted sessions land in your balance and pay out automatically, with a per-upload breakdown of what passed and what came back.
  • Nothing to buy — the recorder is free and your software is the software you already own. Your rate is set down in writing before you start recording, and any later change leaves accepted hours untouched.

Apply, set the allow list, work, upload.

STEP 01
Apply below
Your discipline, the apps you live in, roughly how many hours you could record, and a couple of lines about a typical project. No portfolio review, no interview; expect a reply from a person inside one business day.
STEP 02
Onboarding call
We install the recorder together, set the allow list, agree what must never be captured, and sort out client permission if you want to record client work rather than personal or practice briefs.
STEP 03
Record real projects
Start the recorder, work the brief the way you always would, pause when you need to, and tag each session with a line about the task. Scrub through it before uploading.
STEP 04
Review and payout
A reviewer who knows the software looks over every upload within days, and the hours that clear are credited at $25 and sent out through Stripe.

An hour clears when four things are true.

check 1
A real brief, worked through
From the empty canvas or the raw footage to a point you would hand over, in the tools you actually use. Idle time, renders, and browsing are paused rather than padded.
check 2
Full capture plus a brief note
The allowed apps at full resolution with your inputs, plus a sentence on the brief. A missing note is the usual reason a session is returned.
check 3
You were entitled to record it
Personal work, a practice brief, or a client whose written agreement is on file. Client work recorded without their knowledge is returned unpaid, however good it is.
check 4
Not a repeat
Every session is credited once. The same template filled ten times, or one trivial action looped for an hour, does not clear. Reviewers want the range of a real week.

Designers and editors ask us.

How much do AI training jobs for designers and editors pay?

$25 per hour of screen recording that clears review, paid on top of whatever the project itself earns you. Pay follows accepted recording rather than hours at the desk: pauses, renders you walk away from, and personal browsing are never uploaded, and reviewers return roughly 15 to 30 percent of early sessions, almost always for a missing brief note. Eight accepted out of ten recorded is $200 for the week, and thirty hours at that ratio is roughly $600. Nothing caps it, nothing is owed if you record nothing, and joining is free.

Who owns what I make while recording?

Ownership does not move. The piece stays yours, or your client's, just as it did before you pressed record. What eeko licenses is the recording of your process: the sequence of tools, panels, decisions, and corrections that produced the piece, used to train and test AI agents that work inside creative software. The finished file is not included in what is delivered and no rights in it change hands. If you also want to license finished pieces, that is a separate, optional path through our creator licensing program.

Can I record client projects?

Only with the client's written agreement, which we can arrange with them or you can. Agencies and studios usually join as a group and tell us which accounts and projects may be recorded, so individual designers never have to ask. Without that permission, record personal work, portfolio pieces, or the practice briefs we supply, which are accepted at the full rate. Anything recorded from a client project without their knowledge is returned unpaid.

Can stock assets, fonts, and plugins show up on screen?

They can appear, in the same way they would in a tutorial on your channel. You are recording yourself using tools and assets you are licensed to use, and the recording is what is licensed, not the assets inside it. The source files, footage, stock images, typefaces, and plugin binaries are not extracted or delivered. If a client's brand assets would be visible, the client's permission covers that; otherwise swap in placeholders or one of our practice kits.

Which creative apps does the recorder capture?

Whichever ones you put on its allow list during onboarding, and no others. Adobe Creative Cloud apps, Figma, Sketch, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, Blender, Cinema 4D, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Ableton, Pro Tools, Logic, Affinity, and Procreate on a desktop all work; so does anything else with a window. The recorder is a lightweight Windows or Mac app that captures only the allowed windows and your inputs inside them. It has no access to your webcam or microphone and shows an indicator whenever it is running.

Who buys the recordings, and what do they get out of them?

Approved AI organizations holding a written licence from eeko, building agents that can operate professional creative software rather than just generate an image. From your recordings they learn how a professional moves from brief to export: which tool, which panel, what gets tried and discarded, how a cut is paced or a mix is balanced. Every recording goes out with a consent record, a cryptographic hash, and a signed provenance entry attached, and none of it is published or listed on an open marketplace. The data capture page walks through the pipeline.

Do I sign a contract, is there a minimum, and can I stop?

One short participation agreement, covering recording scope, consent, ownership, and pay. There is no exclusivity, no minimum number of hours, and no notice period. Record a busy week, skip a quiet one, and remove the recorder whenever you want out; that ends it, with nothing further due either way. Nobody is employing you and nobody is paying a wage; the money is a licence fee for recordings that pass review, paid via Stripe.

Own a studio or run an agency?

Studios join under one agreement. We agree with you which accounts and projects may be recorded before anyone installs the recorder, your team records in the tools they already use, and every artist is paid for accepted hours. One page of terms, a single contact at eeko, and no deck.
