These figures come from 529 video production postings where the employer stated pay, covering 17 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at entry-level, where 169 postings put the middle half between $76,000 and $103,000, with a median of $86,000.

Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $83,000, mid-level around $123,000, senior around $135,000 and lead around $145,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 74% more.

Location moves the number too. Of the 6 cities with enough disclosures to rank, Culver City pays most at around $135,000 and Los Angeles least at around $79,000, a gap of roughly 71%.

Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 18 of the 33 US-dollar ranges rest on fewer than 10 postings, so treat those as a hint rather than a benchmark; the sample column tells you which.
