Known for Editing
Matthew Schmidt (born April 30, 1971) is an American film editor best known for working on several Marvel Cinematic Universe films, such as Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), all alongside Jeffrey Ford, Black Widow (2021), alongside Leigh Folsom Boyd, and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), alongside Peter S. Elliot, Tim Roche and Jennifer Vecchiarello. Schmidt first worked with Ford as an assistant editor, beginning with the first Avengers film and started sharing the editing credit with Ford, beginning with Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The duo edited Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame back-to-back, which was a two-year project and meant they were cutting at the same time of shooting. More than 900 hours of film were shot between both films, making the editing process a massive undertaking. Both films rank "among the biggest box-office earners of all time." For Avengers: Endgame, the two won the Saturn Award for Best Editing. Description above from the Wikipedia article Matthew Schmidt, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
