We currently have an exciting opportunity for 2 full-time video editors to join the team in our
Hebden Bridge office.
You will be taking over a role that currently processes and maintains hundreds of videos a

job is basic editing and file management.
You’ll be working within a small company for high-end clients in the construction and media
sector and meeting their demands.
The role forms part of a new post-production team working on projects across the UK and
worldwide. Every month hundreds of time-lapse edits are produced so the role includes a large
amount of workflow management and processing. To be able to maintain a high level of quality the role requires ongoing communications with the internal team as well as external clients.
Key Skills
- Editing of time-lapse videos to remove periods of non-activity
- Managing a comprehensive workflow to ensure you stay on task

- Managing the constant archiving of the image/video content generated, including a comprehensive backup of all materials

- Working to strict deadlines for delivering material needed for time-sensitive client requests
- Creating a high-quality final deliverable at the end of a project within a reasonable timeframe
- Delivering a high-quality final film, using creativity for designing and implementing motion-graphic text, at the end of a project within a reasonable time frame
- Liaising with the wider team to maintain an overview of new and existing projects
- Aiding the camera installers to check composition/focus
Skills required:

- Problem solving in the face of technological and program issues
- Understanding of the various video file formats
- Ability to take direction and work collaboratively
- Can handle periods of working independently
- Creative eye for layout design of edits, motion-graphics and basic grading
- Good organisational skills (we work with hundreds of thousands of digital files so being organised and methodical is essential as the candidate will also be involved in backing up and archiving material)
- Good written and spoken English to communicate with clients via phone and email
- Good people skills for working as a team and communicating to clients
- Right personality to thrive in a small, non-corporate working environment
