Background

About Michael Trainor

Experienced post-production editor and skilled supervisor with over 20 years of experience delivering high-impact content across broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms. I've led teams and workflows for the BET Awards and VMAs, as well as educational media for clients such as Google and Pearson, among others. At CreatorUp, I delivered over 150 manager training videos by building scalable workflows, my specialty lies in bridging the gap between creativity and operations. I’m fluent in Avid, Adobe Premiere, Resolve, and After Effects, and I’ve recently been using Runway and Midjourney to bring generative AI into the storytelling process. I’ve managed post teams of all sizes, solved technical bottlenecks, taught aspiring editors, and collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders to bring complex projects to life. I’m equally comfortable behind a timeline as I am managing people, process, and tech. Right now, I’m excited by roles at the intersection of media, AI, and education—where innovation, collaboration, and storytelling meet.
