They handle tasks such as organizing footage, syncing audio and video, preparing edit timelines, and ensuring that all media is properly backed up and accessible. Their role allows editors to focus on the creative aspects of storytelling, while the First Assistant Editor ensures technical accuracy and efficiency.
