How ATS Screens Video Editor Resumes
Video editor ATS at agencies, media companies, and content studios filters by NLE software (Premiere, FCPX, DaVinci), content type (social, broadcast, corporate), and motion graphics capability (After Effects, Cinema 4D, Motion). Platform experience (YouTube, Netflix, broadcast) is a hard filter for mid-to-senior roles. Production volume metrics (videos per month, subscriber count for the content) are primary differentiators.

- 2No video type specified — social short-form, documentary, corporate, broadcast have distinct requirements
- 3After Effects absent for agency/content roles — motion graphics are expected for 70%+ of video editor roles
- 4No platform context for social video — YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok have different spec knowledge
