Video Editors typically work for news broadcast stations, content marketing agencies, corporations or as self-employed individuals, creating educational or entertainment-driven content. When a Director, crew members and Performers shoot, a production ends up with a large amount of footage, not all of which is suitable for use. It is the Video Editor who is responsible for eliminating unnecessary shots, putting scenes in order and enhancing the footage with graphics, sounds and corrections. When they perform their job duties well, Video Editors make news segments, television shows, commercials and other types of visual media easy to understand and enjoyable to watch. As a result, they play a major role in determining the success of a production. In addition, Video Editors help productions meet deadlines and stay within budget when they execute their assigned tasks in a timely manner.
