As a film/video editor, you'll manage material such as camera
footage, dialogue, sound effects, graphics and special effects to
produce a final film or video product. This is a key role in the
post-production process and your skills can determine the quality and
delivery of the finished result. You'll usually work closely with the
director to achieve the desired end result.

You may work on a variety of productions, including:

Responsibilities
Your work as an editor will involve:

transferred onto video tape in preparation for inputting into the
computer
* inputting uncut rushes and sound, and synchronising and storing them into files on the computer
* digitally cutting files to put together the sequence of the film and deciding what's usable
* creating a 'rough cut' (or assembly edit) of the programme/film and
determining the exact cutting for the next and final stages
* reordering and fine-tuning the content to ensure the logical sequencing and smooth running of the film/video.
Additional tasks may include:
* overseeing the quality and progress of audio and video engineering and editing
* experimenting with styles and techniques including the design of graphic elements
