Video Editor Salary in United Kingdom

Video Editor pay in United Kingdom: London leads, Leeds trails

The United Kingdom national median for a video editor is £67,600 a year. Among 7 metros with observed data, pay runs from about £31,000 in Leeds to £53,200 in London (1.7×).

Video editors assemble footage into polished, engaging stories for screen and social. Common screening skills include Premiere, After Effects, Color, and Audio.

A modeled national band runs about £43,300–£97,300 around that midpoint. Skilled Worker sponsorship and occupation going-rates matter as much as the ranking. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +8% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every British city.

London sits -21% vs the national median; Leeds sits -54%. Relocating inside United Kingdom for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

United Kingdom shows about 3.9% CPI in 2025. A video editor raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax.
