A video editor brings together raw footage, audio files and graphics to create a finished product suitable for publication. Also known as a video content editor, film editor or video content creator, the video editor plays a key role in the post-production process. Essentially, the quality of the finished product relies on their skills and creativity.

Video editors use software to convert film footage into finished videos. With the rise and popularity of YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, there are more companies using videos for promotion.

They are often employed by television companies, post production studios or large corporations to promote their brand, create in-house training videos or short video/film products for their clients. If you are looking to hire a video editor in the Philippines, look no further than Outsourced. 

Video editor outsourcing

A video editor may work on television programmes, music videos, feature films, commercials or corporate training videos. They work closely with the creative director and marketing team to produce videos or films, using both live action, special effects and animations. 

They collaborate with other professionals to match sound, voices and music to the script, cutting and rearranging scenes to select the best shots for the finished product. The role of a video/film editor requires exceptional editing skills because they must not only engage the viewers for the length of the video or film but must also bring to life the director’s vision.

That’s because directors will often shoot a scene from a variety of angles, but it’s the video content creator who selects which of these angles is included in the final product. This must match the directors vision for the product.

Their role can include any of the following tasks:

• Assembling raw footage, sounds, voices, music and special effects.
• Ensuring that all these elements match both the script and the director’s vision.
• Synchronising all these elements to create a final product.
• Splicing, cutting and rearranging scenes. 
• Correcting errors in lighting or colouring in the raw footage.
