Position Summary

The Video Editor Intern supports NASPO Video Solutions by assisting with the editing and assembly of video content for events, marketing campaigns, and internal initiatives. This role focuses primarily on post-production, including first-round edits, organizing footage, and building clear, structured sequences that support final delivery.

Working under the guidance of the Senior Video Producer, the intern applies feedback, revises edits, and prepares content for final review. The role also supports file organization and post-production workflows to maintain consistency and efficiency across projects.
