The demand for video content has never been higher, with 84% of consumers making purchasing decisions based on social media presence. While many businesses rush to hire film and video editors, this traditional approach might actually be holding you back. Let’s explore why the conventional wisdom about video editing needs an update for 2024 and beyond.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for film and video editors is $62,680 annually. But that’s just the beginning.
