For that, we've prepared a list below of all the popular types of video editors.

Types of video editors

It's essential for you to know the types of video editors to make sure you're hiring the most skilled editor for your niche content:

DIY Video Editors: This is either you or someone on your team taking on the editing tasks along with other responsibilities.
Freelance Video Editor: Often experienced professionals who have chosen to work independently. They might have a set of regular clients and offer their services on platforms like YT.Careers.
Outsourced Video Editors: These are editors available through video editing companies. They provide a service where you can adjust the level of assistance as per your need, focusing more on completing the job rather than a specific editor's style.
Full-time Video Editor: A dedicated editor employed solely by you, handling only your projects. Hiring full-time involves additional responsibilities like payroll, holiday pay, and building a team culture.
