JOB DESCRIPTION

FOX 13 and FOX 13+ the FOX O&O Duopoly in Seattle is seeking a dynamic video editor to join our news team. We are looking for someone who will do more than just lay shots onto a timeline. The successful candidate will be a collaborator who transcends all newsroom workgroups – to ensure our stories come to life with the best possible visuals. We are seeking an editor who is familiar with a diverse array of video editing techniques. For example – video used in a fast-paced nightly sportscast will be cut differently than a serious 3-camera anchor interview. What’s more – your work will be showcased in a variety of media: television newscasts, digital media, specials & documentaries, and social media posts.

Our editing team uses Edius to cut video, but experience on similar non-linear editing platforms like Avid or Final Cut is also acceptable. You should be familiar with basic journalistic editing functions, as well as advanced techniques and effects that can enhance traditional video. This would include products in the Adobe Suite. The successful candidate will possess superior editorial judgement, work well in a deadline-driven environment, and be capable of editing video quickly, accurately and creatively. This is a full time position with a regular shift schedule, but the news is a 24/7 world that could include different hours or shifts if warranted for breaking news, special coverage, vacation relief or holidays.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working at a computer.

• Regularly stand, walk, sit, reach with hands and arms, and talk or hear.

• Occasionally required to climb or balance and stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl.

• Regularly lift and/or move up to 10 pounds.

• Vision abilities include close vision, distance vision, color vision, and ability to adjust focus.

• Ability to use tools, manipulate small parts, and make minute adjustments to controls requiring fine finger movements.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

We live in a diverse world, with different ideas and different perspectives that come together to spark new ideas and make great things happen.
