Occupation

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/video-editor

A video editor assembles raw footage into a finished, polished video, working in editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, plus DaVinci Resolve for color grading. They shape pacing, sound, and visual effects to serve the narrative, often collaborating with directors, producers, or marketing teams in film, television, or content production settings. Strong storytelling instincts and narrative editing skill are essential, since the editor often determines how a story ultimately reads on screen.
