Clues From the Data
- There are lots of video editor / editing job listings in Georgia, especially around Atlanta, on sites like Indeed.
- In Texas, there are similarly high numbers of job listings and a push to expand film and video production infrastructure.
Likely Reasons Why the Searches Are Up
-
Strong Production Infrastructure & Incentives
-
Georgia is long known for its film & TV production capacity — Trilith Studios, Shadowbox Studios, etc. that attract lots of production activity.
-
Texas is aggressively investing in film incentives: there’s a large bill (SB 22) proposed / advancing in the state legislature to expand funding for production and media work. MySA+1

-
Demand for Social / Short-Form Video Content
-
Companies everywhere want content for TikTok, Reels, Instagram, etc. These shorter, high-volume content needs push up demand for editors who can turn things around quickly. Some remote short-form editor roles in Georgia show this already. ZipRecruiter

Growth of Media, Advertising, & Digital Agencies
-
In places like Atlanta, there are many agencies and brands with marketing budgets who need video editors. Similarly, Texas metro areas are getting more studios / production companies building or expanding.

-
Incentives & Government Support
-
States offering tax credits, grants, or incentives for film/video production attract more projects → more editing jobs. Texas is pushing big incentive packages. Georgia already has a favorable environment for film/TV production. Georgia Economic Development
