A Chief Editor (CE) is the highest of the three Editor positions available. The Chief Editor is the last in line when it comes to edits and subtitle approval.
Some of the main responsibilities of a Chief Editor are:
- Overseeing the editing process, including the editing team
- Doing the final edits and any additional editing work not covered by other Editors
- Locking the subtitles after final edits to prevent unauthorized edits afterwards
- For English Chief Editors: Release completed English edited episodes to other languages by notifying other language teams
