What are Editing Assistants?

Editing Assistants are professionals who support editors in the preparation and revision of written content for publication. Their responsibilities often include proofreading, formatting documents, checking for consistency and accuracy, and sometimes fact-checking or organizing materials. Editing Assistants may work in publishing houses, media organizations, or for independent authors, helping ensure that final documents are polished and error-free. They play a key role in the editorial process by managing administrative tasks and assisting with project coordination.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Editing Assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Editing Assistant, you need strong attention to detail, excellent grammar and language skills, and a relevant degree or coursework in English, journalism, or communications. Familiarity with editing software such as Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word track changes, and content management systems is typically required. Strong organizational skills, adaptability, and effective communication help you excel in supporting editors and managing deadlines. These skills ensure high-quality content production, efficient workflow, and successful collaboration within editorial teams.

What are some common challenges Editing Assistants face when supporting editorial teams, and how can they effectively overcome them?

Editing Assistants often juggle multiple tasks, such as managing deadlines, coordinating with different departments, and ensuring accuracy in edited content. Balancing these responsibilities while adapting to shifting priorities can be challenging. To overcome these hurdles, strong organizational skills, clear communication, and proficiency with editorial tools are essential. Proactively seeking feedback and staying adaptable also help Editing Assistants support their teams more effectively and contribute to smooth editorial workflows.

Job description

We are looking for an Assistant Editor Intern to join our Film and TV post production team for a hands-on educational training internship focused on professional editorial support workflows.

This internship is designed for students interested in post production, editing, media management, and assistant editor work. Interns will begin within a controlled sandbox training project before supporting any active client work, giving them the opportunity to learn real-world AE workflows in a lower-risk, supervised environment.

Interns will gain exposure to the full post production support process, including media ingest, project organization, footage stringouts, ingest reports, Frame.io dailies links, transcriptions, captions, prep for color and mix, exports, deliverables, QC, and project wrap.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, curious about post production, and interested in learning how professional editorial teams move projects from footage intake through final delivery.

Educational Structure

This internship is structured as a learning-focused training experience. Interns will receive guidance, feedback, and supervision throughout the program. Any exposure to active client work will be limited, supervised, and based on the intern's training progress.

Completion of the internship does not guarantee future employment, though interns may be considered for future freelance or entry-level opportunities if there is a good fit and a business need.

Responsibilities

  • Learn professional post production workflows from ingest through delivery
  • Assist with media ingest and project organization within a training environment
  • Learn proper folder structures and file naming conventions
  • Create footage stringouts for review
  • Help prepare ingest reports and track project assets
  • Learn Frame.io dailies upload and review workflows
  • Support transcription and caption workflows
  • Learn basic prep steps for color, mix, exports, and deliverables
  • Support QC and project wrap/archive workflows
  • Follow internal post production processes and checklists
  • Communicate clearly when questions or issues come up
  • Participate in check-ins, feedback sessions, and workflow reviews

Qualifications

  • Current student studying film, media, production, editing, communications, or a related field
  • Interest in post production and assistant editor workflows
  • Basic familiarity with Adobe Premiere Pro preferred
  • Strong attention to detail and organization
  • Comfortable following technical instructions and checklists
  • Good communication and follow-through
  • Willingness to learn, ask questions, and receive feedback
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality around client and project materials

Time Commitment

10-15 hours per week preferred, with some flexibility based on school credit requirements and student availability.

The internship will be structured around a defined semester or training period and will take student academic schedules into consideration.

Location

Franklin, TN

Compensation / Credit

This internship may be eligible for academic credit depending on the student's school requirements. Students are encouraged to confirm credit eligibility with their academic department or career center.

Please note: this internship is designed as an educational training experience. Any compensation details, if applicable, will be confirmed during the application/interview process.

Application Materials

Please submit:

  • Resume
  • Short note of interest
  • Availability for the semester
  • Editing samples or reel, if available, but not required

About the Opportunity

This internship is intended to give students a practical understanding of how assistant editors support professional post production teams. The goal is to help interns build foundational AE skills, understand real-world post workflows, and gain experience in a supervised, training-focused environment.
