We are America's video editor.

Based in Chicago, Illinois — Edit Engine is the nation's leading, premier video editing company with both consumer and business video editing services. Founded in 2016 as an off-shoot subsidiary service of Vanilla Video, Edit engine launched as a full-service editing service for video producers nationwide.

With a growing video production team in Chicago, and over 2,000 videos filmed and edited, we decided to bring our additional editing capacity to market.

And for consumers just looking to do something with their raw footage, we can help you too. While we primarily service creative agencies and video producers with multiple video projects, we are happy to service indnvidual video editing requests too.
