What is your experience with editing video?
A producer is expected to know how to edit video to add to their show. The interviewer is looking for a candidate who can answer this question by referencing their editing experience.
"In the past, I have edited with iMovie, Avid and Edius. I know how important it is to be able to edit video quickly to add to my shows, and I am confident I can work fast to do so."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I have experience using final cuts. In my spare time, I do a lot of multimedia pieces, which include editing. I am not sure what software your company uses, but I'm confident that I can catch on.

Good answer. The ability to edit video is a core skill required in the position, and you demonstrate a commitment to your own continued learning and professional development by completing multimedia pieces and building this skill in your spare time. However, be careful to avoid painting yourself in a negative light by indicating you do not know what software the company uses, as it may indicate you have not completed research on the organization. Consider re-stating the last sentence as follows: "While the majority of my experience is with Final Cut Pro, I have a strong understanding of technology and am confident in my ability to quickly learn other editing software."
