Video Editor, Malta & Cyprus, middle: €2 300–3 100 per month gross · SpinHire data as of
What the role involves
A betting brand on social media lives on video: a match preview the day before the game, a best-moments cut, a reaction to a goal, an interview with an ambassador, a big-win video. The video editor puts this together from footage, streams and shoots, keeps the pace and brand style, and turns out several vertical videos a day. At operators the work is closer to media and SMM; in media buying teams the editor cuts UGC and adapts ad videos for geos. More and more often you need to use AI: generate missing shots, clean up audio, make subtitles and voice-overs.

FAQ
How is a video editor different from a motion designer?
An editor works with shot material: cuts, assembles, fixes colour and sound. A motion designer creates animation and graphics, often with no filming at all.
What portfolio do I need for a betting job?
Vertical videos with dynamic editing, sports cuts or ad videos. 5–10 short pieces are enough; the main thing is to show pace and a hook in the first seconds.
