Frequently asked questions
Is 59.12.00 suitable for someone who does only video editing?
Yes, when the main work is post-production: editing, colour correction, titling, effects, compositing, final video delivery or similar work on already-produced material. If, however, you also organise and carry out the shoot — with a crew, set, direction or full production — then 59.11.00 - Motion picture, video and television programme production activities should be considered.
Do video post-production and audio post-production fall under the same code?
Not always. 59.12.00 is the natural reference for video work. If the activity is primarily recording, mixing, mastering, sound design or independent audio processing, 59.20.10 - Sound recording activities may be the closer match.
I only do subtitles, end credits and colour grading for agencies: does that fall here?
Yes, these are typical post-production tasks: editing, titling, subtitling, colour correction and finalisation of footage shot by others all fit well within 59.12.00. The only case to separate out is when what you sell is the sound itself — for example, mixing or dubbing as a standalone service — which points more towards 59.20.10 - Sound recording activities.
I edit and package entire programmes for a TV channel: do I stay on 59.12.00?
Only if you stop at working on the material. If instead you build the schedule or compose the channel's complete programme by putting together purchased and produced content, the activity shifts towards 60.20.00 - Television programming and broadcasting activities and video distribution. Processing clips is one thing; scheduling and broadcasting the channel is another.
