Description
Video and motion picture editors are responsible for the assembly and cutting of raw footage into a logically and aesthetically-pleasant material for movies, television series, or domestic purposes. They reorganize scenes that have been shot and decide which special effects are needed. Video and motion picture editors work closely together with sound editors and music directors.
