What is this job profiles called.
Ok this not a technical question but i didnt find any other place to put this question.
Here I go-What do you call the editor who edits the live transmitted sports?
Like the live broadcasted sport events.Who decides which camera angle to use when? when to use crowds reactions?
My question is very specific to sport editing only.Please let me know the term used for this video editing profiles.

The person who calls for the shots is The Director.
The person who actually pushes the button on the switcher is The Technical Director.Sometime (depending on budget and size of the shoot) they are the same person.

Yup…the director does this. And the TD does the switching. Sports, news…any live TV event.

[Shane Ross] ” And the TD does the switching.”
In the olden times, before most of the alphabet was invented, we used to call this person a “switcher”.

I always liked UK term “vision mixer”. Like “switcher” it could refer to the hardware or the person operating it.

The actual editor in the truck is the EVS (elvis) operator. They’re responsibility is replays, highlights, bumpers, teasers, etc.

guys thanks a lot for your response.
I am suppose to meet a person who works as a director, this will help me to talk to him in technical terms 🙂Thanks

If there is somebody (the director) tell you what and when to switch, you are THE MIXER.
If there is nobody directing you, you are THE DIRECTOR.
