Where to find video editors in south africa

Introduction

Hey, what’s up, guys? My name is Lungile

In today’s video, I’m going to talk about where to find video editors in Johannesburg. If you’re working on a project and need a skilled editor, there are several places to look—whether it’s online platforms, crew agencies, or Facebook groups. I’ll walk you through some of the best options to find the right video editor for your needs.

1. Online Platforms & Business Communities

The first place you should check is business communities and industry blogs. Many video editors and post-production companies showcase their work on these platforms.

Some useful sites include:

  • A video production website that lists editors specializing in different fields.
  • Business Blogs – Many post-production companies and freelance editors share their portfolios and industry insights here.

2. Crew Agencies

Crew agencies are another great resource. These agencies represent various industry professionals, including video editors. Some reputable ones in Johannesburg include:

  • Call a Crew
  • Crew Cut
  • General Post (a post-production agency that works with animators, editors, online editors, and colorists).

3. Choosing the Right Editor

When looking for a video editor, make sure they have experience in the type of work you’re producing. Here are some key steps:
Ask for references – Get a list of previous clients or projects they’ve worked on.
Request a showreel or portfolio – Ensure they have examples relevant to your project (e.g., commercials, music videos, corporate videos).
Check their CV – A good editor will have experience in projects similar to yours.

For example, if you’re creating a music video, find an editor who has worked on music videos before. If you’re making a commercial, hire someone with experience in that field. This ensures they understand the style, pacing, and quality expectations of your project.
