The median annual wage for film and video editors was $70,980 in May 2024, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Actual video editor salaries can vary based on experience, location, industry and whether an editor works full time or as a freelancer.

A video editor is a creative professional who transforms raw video footage into polished content for films, television, commercials, social media, websites, and other digital channels. Video editors use editing software to select and arrange footage while incorporating elements such as audio, music, graphics, transitions, and visual effects.

Video editors combine technical editing skills with creative judgment to shape a video's pacing, tone and overall story. They may work in-house for an organization, at an agency or production company, or independently as freelancers.

A video editor selects, organizes and edits video footage to create a cohesive final product. Depending on the project, their responsibilities may include cutting and sequencing footage, adjusting audio, incorporating music and voiceovers, adding graphics and visual effects, and preparing the finished video for distribution.

Video editors often collaborate with producers, directors, marketers and other creative professionals to ensure the finished content supports the project's goals and engages its intended audience.
