To become a video editor, you generally need to have a Bac+2 such as a BTS in audiovisual professions or a BTS in photography, but it happens that some talented people manage to get in without reaching this level of study. In fact, the profession of video editor can be practised from the baccalaureate level onwards by having followed training in a film or audiovisual school.

Otherwise, other levels of higher education make it easy to work in the field of video editing, such as a bachelor's degree in editing or directing (bac+3 level), which can be continued up to a master's degree (bac+5 level).

A video editing service, also known as multimedia editing, is the process of transforming video and audio footage shot by one or more cameramen into a single coherent video.

Using special software with a wide range of features and tools, they can cut scenes, add backgrounds, dress up images by adding visual effects or text, and much more. The video editor can work alone or in collaboration with a director to decide on the best scenes to select and the most appropriate way to pace a story to make the film more or less dynamic.
