About The Position

We’re looking for a Video Editor at WHSV who doesn't just "cut video" but crafts the visual rhythm of our newscasts. Whether it’s a high-stakes lead for the 5 p.m. or a punchy social clip that stops the scroll, you’re the one who brings our journalism to life with speed, precision, and a sharp eye for the perfect shot.

Requirements

Technical chops: You’re a pro (or a fast learner) with Adobe Premiere, Edius, or similar non-linear editing software.
A sharp eye for detail : You take pride in your work and notice the small things that others might miss—no jump cuts on your watch!
The "Pressure" Gene : You thrive when the clock is ticking toward a 5 p.m. deadline and keep your cool when things get hectic.
A positive, team-first attitude: You’re a partner to our producers and a boost to our newsroom culture.
Visual intuition: You have a natural ability to match video to scripts in a way that enhances the story rather than just filling space.
Adaptability : You’re ready to pivot from editing a feature story to grabbing a camera for breaking news or a Friday night football game at a moment's notice.

Responsibilities

Craft the newscast: Edit high-quality, compelling video for our 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 10 p.m., and 11 p.m. broadcasts, ensuring every frame matches the script and the moment.
Support the digital mission : Clip and optimize video to attach to our web stories—ensuring our audience gets the full story, no matter where they’re watching.
Collaborate with the pros : Work side-by-side with producers to find the perfect shots and turn raw footage into a polished narrative.
Provide technical backup : Act as the go-to for technical support when the team needs a hand navigating our editing systems.
Manage the gear : Help monitor and maintain our camera equipment and field gear, ensuring everything is mission-ready for the team.
Jump into the action : Step up to shoot breaking news when the story demands it or grab a camera to cover local games when the sports department needs a hand—you’re not just behind a desk; you’re part of the front-line news team.
Maintain the flow : Keep our video assets organized and accessible so the whole newsroom can move as fast as the news does.
