You may work with a team or independently as a video editor, depending on your skills and expertise.
For editors working remotely, we expect that you have internet access and your own editing suite. Our corporate productions are mainly edited using Adobe Premiere Pro; however, expertise in Premiere and/or DaVinci Resolve is what we are looking for.

At Thinktank, we treat everyone fairly and equitably. We fully embrace equality and diversity. Our video production company team here in Manchester promotes each other's positive values and beliefs.
The Freelance Video Editor Job involves:

* Planning and Organising: We expect all staff to have good organisational skills and a sense of urgency to adhere to meetings, timescales, and deadlines. Each film we make needs good planning, plus the flexibility to adapt to ever-changing environments, as expected in corporate video productions.
* DBS Clearance: If you are involved in editing sensitive materials, including footage involving vulnerable adults or children, or working on projects involving settings like the NHS, care homes, or similar settings, we expect you to have valid DBS clearance and be willing to undergo further security checks as appropriate.
* Problem Solving and Decision Making: Projects may involve unexpected events or circumstances. We work with individuals who can think on their feet and make common-sense adjustments to their working day and/or environment to successfully fulfil filming duties.

Competence in editing Social Media Video Content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Vimeo, including formats such as 1:1 square and 9:16 portrait, is required. Experience with Open and Closed Captions within Adobe Premiere is a distinct advantage.
Qualifications & CV - necessary for working as a Video Editor
