Video Editor, Digital

ProductionBase is hiring a Video Editor, Digital based in Glasgow, Scotland to join their Formats team. This is a post-production role focused on crafting original video content for YouTube, social platforms, and emerging digital channels, sitting within a team that develops format-driven output rather than traditional broadcast or episodic television. It suits an editor who is equally comfortable with storytelling instincts and platform-native thinking, someone who knows what works in a digital post-production workflow and can move fast without losing craft.

About the Role

The Formats team at ProductionBase operates at the intersection of content development and digital distribution, producing distinctive video across multiple channels with varying formats, lengths, and audience expectations. Day to day, the Video Editor, Digital will be cutting sequences, responding to creative briefs, and taking edits through review stages with producers and commissioners. The work is deadline-driven and requires someone who can hold a creative point of view across a project from rough assembly to final delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit video content from assembly cut through to picture lock across YouTube and social platform formats.
• Work directly with producers and creative leads to develop the visual language and pacing of each format.
• Manage project organisation, bin structure, and media within the post-production workflow to ensure clean handoffs and version control.
• Source and integrate music, graphics, and archival footage in line with editorial tone and rights requirements.
• Adapt edits for different platform specifications, including aspect ratios, caption burns, and channel-specific delivery formats.
• Contribute to format development in early stages, reviewing rushes and offering editorial perspective on structure and story.

What You Bring

• Demonstrable credits editing digital content, branded formats, or factual production for YouTube or social distribution.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, with working knowledge of After Effects for basic motion and graphics work.
• A strong understanding of pacing, structure, and audience retention as they apply to short and mid-form digital content.
• Experience managing your own media and project files within a shared post-production environment.
• Comfort working across multiple projects at different stages of the edit simultaneously.

Why This Role

ProductionBase has an established presence in the industry and this role sits within a team actively developing original format ideas rather than servicing existing commissions. For an editor looking to build credits in digital content creation with genuine creative input, this is a staff-level position with room to grow alongside the slate. Glasgow is a city with a real production community, and this role is embedded in it.
