Work Editorial’s Jane Dilworth on Editing Without Borders
July 17, 2025
Remote workflows and global collaboration are transforming the editor’s role – LBB’s Ben Conway finds out how.
Editing has always been collaborative, but in an industry where teams are increasingly spread across different countries, time zones, and workflows, the process of cutting a project together is evolving fast.
From navigating remote feedback to syncing up with teams working in entirely different post-production ecosystems, editing internationally comes with challenges – but perhaps unexpected advantages, too.
Stitch owner Leo King says that post-pandemic, remote editing over Zoom has become “totally standard”, coupled with hybrid jobs that see editors fly out for part of a project before finishing remotely. “It’s not only more cost-effective but also makes it easier to work with teams from all over.”
Jane Dilworth, founder and executive producer at WORK UK, agrees, sharing that the technological leap of remote editing platforms and cloud servers has made international work “really great”, enabling people to share files and feedback – and generally collaborate effectively – with anyone, anywhere. “Of course,” she adds, “a great production team really helps to suss out the time zones, coordinate the teams, and make it all run smoothly.”
