Hi all, sorry if this issue has been raised before but I con't find anything on the subject. so apologies if this has been said before.
I have worked extensively on a show, The Cube" in the UK. For every series except the first one I had two roles on the show. At the start my primary role was Offline Editor. Then at a certain point in each series I switched roles when we had enough complete offline shows and moved to then become the series On-Line Editor. The way the show schedule was constructed meant that often there would be two primary editors contributing to a show, half each. IMDb Only allows ONE primary editor and in this show this would be highly inaccurate and unfair to those other people that have had significant contribution. How is this best tackled?

In general, there is only one editor. In US shows, this person is either credited as "editor" or with the designation of "edited by". The note you are referring to is to keep someone from adding all editing credits under the editor category when they belong in the "editorial department" section. I would think Offline Editor and Online Editor would belong in "editorial department" instead of "editor".
Hi, Adrian. On account the the adjectives attached, I agree about the placement of "offline editor" and "online editor" in the "editorial department" category.
Appreciate the response, thank you.
