Day-to-day operating brief

What Video Editor work looks like in practice

A Video Editor assembles picture, dialogue, graphics, music and effects into finished programmes, campaigns or online videos. Terms should identify productions, editing systems and storage, remote access, custody of rushes, project structure, proxy and master files, review stages, revision authority, captions and accessibility, music and stock licences, confidential unreleased footage, colour and audio handoffs, artificial-intelligence tools where governed, intellectual property, credits, portfolio use and final archive requirements.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Ingest organise and protect assigned footage.
Assemble edits to brief and running time.
Manage versions feedback captions and graphics.
Verify approved music stock and supplied assets.
Export test deliver and archive project materials.
