"Graphic designers are not video editors – Graphic designers and video editors bring unique, specialized skills to the table, and expecting one person to master both is not just unrealistic but also undermines the quality of creative work. Companies, it's time to stop overloading a single resource and recognize the value of hiring dedicated professionals for each role. A graphic designer isn’t a video editor, and vice versa—by investing in the right talent, you empower your team to produce work that truly stands out. Let’s stop cutting corners and start respecting the expertise each discipline brings to the creative process. #design #public_message

As a Video Editor/Motion Graphic Designer, I've noticed some frustrating trends in the job application process. Some companies often use "tests" to get work done without committing to hiring, or they list roles with unrealistic expectations. For instance: 1. Pay ranges are either insultingly low (₹5k to ₹20k) or decent, but the job demands 5 to 6+ years of experience, or proficiency with new AI tools, professional photo editing, graphic designing, and even advanced 3D skills—for a video editor role, no less! 2. There's little to no middle ground for those of us with 2-3 years of experience trying to build our careers. 3. Some listings are unpaid—yes, unpaid positions. How can anyone be expected to work for free during a recession? Then, there are the companies who give a call to ask about the qualifications and then never revert back or in some cases, some companies interview you, even have you clear the test rounds, only to later decide not to move forward. Why raise a candidate's hopes just to let them down? The most common issue, though, is the silence. No feedback, no acknowledgment of applications. I know I’m not the only one facing these challenges.

Graphic Designers Are Not Video Editors! ---------------------------------- It’s time to clear up a common industry misconception: graphic designers are not video editors. Each role is unique, requiring distinct skills and expertise. Graphic Designers are experts in visual composition, typography, branding, and creating static visuals that convey a message or enhance a brand's identity. They focus on making imagery speak, whether through logos, social media graphics, or print materials. Video Editors, on the other hand, specialize in motion, timing, and storytelling through film. They use editing software to craft engaging video content by combining footage, sound, and effects to bring a narrative to life. Combining these roles may sound convenient, but it often leads to a compromise in quality and overlooks the unique value each professional brings to the table. Let’s respect and value the specialized talents of both graphic designers and video editors. Here’s to understanding the difference and hiring with intention! 👏 #GraphicDesign #VideoEditing #CreativeRoles #Hiring #job

Dear Recruiters, Graphic Designers ≠ Video Editors ≠ Content Creators ≠ Social Media Specialists Let's talk about the fine line between Graphic Designers, Video Editors, Content Creators, and Social Media Specialists. 🎨 Graphic Designers are artists with a flair for visuals. They craft stunning designs, logos, and illustrations. 🎥 Video Editors are masters of motion and storytelling. They bring footage to life with editing magic. 📝 Content Creators are wordsmiths who craft compelling narratives and engage audiences through written content. 📱 Social Media Specialists are strategists who navigate the digital landscape, curating content, and fostering online communities. Expecting one person to excel in all these roles is like asking a fish to climb a tree! Let's ensure job postings reflect the specific skills required for each role. Quality over quantity, always.

My Hiring for 1 Video Editor & 1 Thumbnail Designer is STILL On... Since my last job post, have received 100s of Emails, DMs for these roles; Out of the 100, shortlisted a few, but still accepting applicants :) If you fit the bill, please mail 👉🏼 anirbanbizz1@gmail.com (DON'T DM!) The last few days have been so stressful: - Read 100s of Emails - Checked 100s of Portfolios - Had a lot of 1-1 calls with shortlisted folks. Mostly have been disappointed by their lack of professionalism : - Not giving public access to the portfolio shared - Too long generic copy-pasted mail template - Writing my name/gender wrong in the mail - Not attaching Portfolio in the mail The most annoying of them all is saying "I have x,y,z years of experience" but then not having ANY portfolio to show! Another annoying thing was receiving long messages and portfolios in my DMs, when I specifically mentioned in the post TWICE that PLEASE MAIL ME! Saying interested in a job post or DMing with generic text won't help when you don't even read the whole post! Shows your lack of discipline & professionalism, creating an instant red flag. So, dear editors & discipline, if you are a creative person who can either videos or thumbnails, again PLEASE MAIL ME at anirbanbizz1@gmail.com AGAIN: NOT ACCEPTING APPLICANTS IN DMs Please mail so that we can keep the records and share it across and take a final decision, DON'T DM ME PLEASE!!! PS - Please repost, share, comment for Good Karma :) Cheers. #hiring #hiringnow #hiringalert #videoediting #videoeditor #thumbnaildesign #thumbnaildesigner #graphicdesigner #job #jobalert

To All HR hiring for the role of Video Editor, Please keep these things in mind while your hiring process. 1. A Video Editor is not a scientist or a magician who will be having command of all the software out in the market. 2. Tell your company to raise your budget to 15K-20K-30K this is not the right salary, this is a creative job which needs skills that can’t be learned from reading books it comes from experience and editing sense. 3. A Video editor is not a 3D Designer and not every 3D designer is a compositor and not every Compositor knows Illustration and not all the people doing Illustrator knows Photoshop and so on....... So, please stop looking for a person with all these skills, these are all totally different jobs and don't expect this from the same person just like water is different from stone A Video Editor is different from a 3D Animator Or Motion Graphics Designer. 4. In the above-mentioned budget please don't ask candidates to use their machines for the company - NO- pay rent for it. It's worth more than 2 Lakhs or purchases a new machine for them. 5. Last hire a Creative Director from the media field who can understand the kind of candidate you are looking for rather than asking candidates their profiles and judging them on behalf of their previous projects. A Video is not made by a single person, it's teamwork. I would like to say that video editors to create your own character and personality. Don't tarnish your image by putting Mawa and Gutka in your mouth. Thank You This post is for Pakistani video editors.
