About Me
Creative Video Editor

Editor Of Videos
Although I began my career in the industry as a writer (with script sales to Touchstone Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer, and more), I quickly fell in love with the beauty and power of editing. Beginning my career as an editor for Fewdio (making short-form horror films, Fewdio was an early YouTube sensation with millions of collective views on all videos, for which I also served as writer/producer/director), I moved to a series of freelance jobs. From music videos to short films to documentaries, you can't hand me a messy pile of raw video that I won't assemble into a coherent, stylish, fun final product.
From 2016-2023, I was the lead editor for Fender Play, where I edited, color corrected, and mastered over 6000 videos for the streaming online learning platform from one of the world's largest guitar manufacturers. I navigated tight deadlines, helping to create an ever-evolving curriculum of lessons, teaching the next generation of guitarists to play.

Comments From My Work History

Testimonials
"In my many years as a Post Production professional, I have worked with countless editors and Post pros...but none as all-encompassing in talent and skill as David! His editorial talents are stellar, and his understanding of the total Post process is unmatched, as demonstrated by the thousands of content videos on which we collaborated and delivered. David is the total package, from his positive interactions with the Directors at the start of each project, through to the final delivery of all of the completed work, in its myriad of formats. Always a joyful collaboration!"
"David is the greatest! We’ve worked together for over a decade on every type of content know to mankind! Highly recommended editor and creative mind!"
"Let me tell you something. David Schneider is. Full stop. My favorite video editor of all time on this planet. Let’s just start there. First choice every time. No cap. But he also does every other thing and keeps learning everything else and with 100% energy and heart. Every time. Am I biased? You bet. Known and worked with Dave at places like Fender and NBC and G4TV for… well… well past a decade. Or something. Am I bad with dates and times? You bet. Do I also love his dog? You bet I do. That’s gotta say something too. David Schneider is my first choice for any sort of video or film thing or whatever. Full cap. No stop."
"I have hired David multiple times at different companies over the past 10 plus years – G4, EsquireTV, Digital Reacharound and Aglet. Whenever I need efficient, expert, and thoughtful post production work he is absolutely my first call. I can’t recommend him highly enough as an editor and all-around excellent human being! I’m also a big fan of his dog, Joey, who is a very good boy."
