Day-to-day operating brief

What Video Editor work looks like in practice

A Video Editor selects and assembles footage, audio, graphics and effects into programmes, campaigns or online content. The role has access to unreleased material, contributor performances and large source archives while managing versions, codecs, captions and review notes. Terms should cover storage, remote editing, licensed music and templates, approvals, confidentiality, working hours near delivery, source files, portfolio use and IP. Review exports should use visible version identifiers and an agreed feedback deadline, preventing notes from being applied to obsolete cuts. Archive decisions must preserve original acquisition and final masters even when intermediate renders are removed. Sensitive unused footage remains confidential despite never appearing in the programme. Audio stems, textless elements and caption-safe masters should be planned where downstream localisation is expected. Flattening every element into one export may make a visually finished programme expensive or impossible to adapt later.
