Best Video Editing Jobs for 2026

Staff video editors typically earn $50,000–$85,000, senior and post-production leads $90,000–$130,000. Freelance editing bills $30–$100+ per hour; YouTube and social-first editors often charge $300–$1,500 per finished video.

Mostly yes — cloud review tools (Frame.io) and proxy workflows have made remote editing standard, and a large share of the roles on this list are remote. High-end broadcast and film post-production still skews on-site.

Rankings are recomputed automatically from live listing data — disclosed pay first, then trending status and freshness. The list refreshes throughout the day as new listings are ingested and expired ones drop off, so every entry links to a role that is actually open.

Listings are aggregated daily from employer career sites, major ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, and more), and direct submissions. Automated quality filters remove volunteer/unpaid roles and known aggregator spam, so what surfaces is paid, real work.

Browsing and creating an account are free. To unlock full job descriptions, employer names, apply links, and AI-tailored applications, choose a paid plan starting at $25/month — see cozyjobs.ai/pricing.
