Music Video Editors

Most of the work done by video editors is performed in studios or at production companies. The working environment is often a small, cramped studio office full of editing equipment. Work hours vary widely depending on the scope of the video. Music videos are often filmed to be aired in conjunction with single and record release dates, so editors may be required to work overtime to meet deadlines.

During filming, music video editors may be asked to be on hand at the filming location. Locations may be outdoors or in other cities, and travel is occasionally required. More often, however, the editor works in the studio.

Disadvantages of the job involve the music video editor's low rank on the totem pole of industry jobs. However, most editors feel that this is outweighed by the honor of working on exciting projects.
