Life of David Dencler As A Video Editor

To tell a story, a video editor combines images, sound, and graphics. Treatment and storyboard development, script writing, video and photo production and editing for a variety of platforms, from short-form daily content for social media platforms to long-form series, as well as the sourcing and/or creation and addition of graphics, animations, special effects, music, sound effects, and sound bites, may all be part of a typical day.

According to Elizabeth Giorgi, founder and CEO of online video production business Mighteor, a video editor also decides how to maximize the content’s value online and aids in matching the finished output to the right distribution channel. The daily grind may also include developing an audience and collaborating with staff from other departments or an editorial team to provide comprehensive and consistent content.

Also, according to Consumer Reports vehicle test video editor/photographer David Abrams, “it is my duty to transform raw footage captured by a photographer into an engaging video.” The general tone of each piece is in the editor’s hands, thus whether or not a video succeeds in its objectives is frequently decided in the editing room, according to Abrams, even though you may work with a producer or utilize a script as guidance.
