Best Portfolio Website
for Video Editors & Filmmakers
Your editing reel on Google Drive isn't a portfolio. Build a cinematic website with embedded showreels, project showcases, and pricing that gets you booked — not just admired.
The best portfolio website builder for video editors in 2026 is SitesPlaced. Its Editor template features video hero with autoplay, embedded YouTube/Vimeo project showcases, brand client marquee, service pricing tiers, and booking lead forms — all designed for cinematic impact. No coding required, live in 5 minutes, starting at ₹199/month.
Why do video editors need a portfolio website?
A Google Drive link with "My Work" is not a portfolio. Here's what separates video editors who get ₹5K/video from those who get ₹50K/video:
Professional presentation
A cinematic website with your showreel auto-playing on landing immediately positions you as a premium editor, not a Fiverr seller.
Context around your work
Each project needs: client name, your role, project type, and results (views, engagement). Context justifies premium pricing.
SEO for inbound leads
'Video editor [city]' and 'YouTube editor for hire' get thousands of searches. A portfolio ranks. A Drive folder doesn't.
24/7 sales machine
While you're editing, your portfolio is showing your showreel, displaying pricing, and capturing leads through the contact form.
What's included in the Video Editor template?
Video Hero with Autoplay
Full-width hero section with background video or embedded showreel. Visitors see your best work the moment they land — no clicking required.
Video Project Showcase
Grid or carousel layout for 5-10 video projects with embedded YouTube/Vimeo players, project descriptions, client names, and role details.
Before/After Editing Showcase
Show raw footage vs. final edit side by side. Nothing demonstrates your editing skills better than a visible transformation.
Client Brand Marquee
Infinite-scroll logos of brands, YouTubers, and production houses you've worked with. Instant credibility for potential clients.
Service Pricing Grid
Package pricing for YouTube editing, reels/shorts, commercial editing, and color grading. Clients self-qualify before reaching out.
Equipment & Software Section
Showcase your editing suite — Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, camera gear. Production houses specifically look for this.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best portfolio website builder for video editors?
SitesPlaced's Editor template is purpose-built for video editors and filmmakers. It includes video hero with autoplay, embedded YouTube/Vimeo project showcases, brand marquee, service pricing, and lead forms. Everything is designed for cinematic presentation — no coding required.
Can I embed YouTube and Vimeo videos in my portfolio?
Yes. The Video Showcase section supports embedded video players from YouTube, Vimeo, and other platforms. Videos play inline within your portfolio — visitors don't need to leave your site to watch your work.
Should I show my showreel or individual projects?
Both. Use the hero section for a 60-90 second showreel that showcases your range. Then use the project showcase section to display 5-10 individual projects with context: client name, your role, project type, and results.
How do I price my video editing services on the website?
Use the built-in pricing section with 2-3 tiers. Example: YouTube Editing (₹3K-8K/video), Reels & Shorts (₹1.5K-5K/video), Commercial Editing (₹10K-50K/project). Include deliverables, turnaround time, and revision limits per tier.
Do I need a custom domain for a video editing portfolio?
A custom domain (cutcraft.in, yourname.com) looks significantly more professional than a subdomain. SitesPlaced includes custom domain support in the Individual plan (₹199/mo). It's a small investment for a big credibility boost.
Can YouTube editors use this to get more clients?
Absolutely. The template is designed for exactly this. Embed your best-performing client videos (highest views), show view count metrics, add testimonials from YouTubers you've edited for, and include clear pricing. Put the portfolio link in your YouTube channel description, email signature, and social bios.
