What an Online Editor does -

An online editor creates programmes and sequences using an Edit Decision List (EDL) or compilation script and generates and implements graphical concepts where necessary. Programmes should be completed to each production's creative and technical specification within the allocated time.

Why I like being an Online Editor -

"As with many other jobs in the television production industry, no two days are the same. You are working with a wide range of creative tools in different edit suites with different production teams every day and of course the content is varied and (usually) interesting." Hamish Hill, Online Editors Team Leader.
