Video Editor Job at Nexstar Media Group in Bismarck

KX News is seeking a full-time Video Editor to create compelling content for linear broadcast and our streaming app KX News+, as well as podcasts and digital platforms. This position splits time equally between linear news and streaming content, working closely with producers, meteorology, and reporting staff. The ideal candidate delivers high-quality content on deadlines, works well under pressure, thrives in a team environment, and thinks creatively when it comes to editing.

• Edit podcast episodes for clarity, pacing, and flow—including audio mixing, music beds, intros/outros, and graphics
• Create long-form and short-form content for KX News+, repurposing broadcast material for on‑demand viewing
• Develop vertical video edits and clips optimized for social media and mobile platforms
• Create visually compelling graphics to enhance stories using Adobe Creative Cloud (After Effects, Photoshop)
• Monitor quality control on incoming feeds and live shots, fixing video or audio errors before air
• Export content in various formats for broadcast, streaming, YouTube, and podcast platforms, ensuring proper specifications and closed captioning
• Contribute with urgency and accuracy in breaking news situations, including live broadcasts and streaming
• Coordinate sending KX News‑produced video to network and Nexstar sister stations when requested

What We're Looking For

• At least 3–5 years of experience as a non‑linear editor, preferably in a local TV news environment
• Proficiency with non‑linear edit systems; experience with ENPS, and Adobe Creative Cloud a plus
• Strong audio editing and mixing skills
• Ability to multi‑task and meet deadlines in a fast‑paced environment
• Must be able to work flexible hours, including weekends, holidays, and overtime as needed
