The Best Amazon Black Friday Deals for Film Editors 2025

Black Friday 2025 (November 28th) is nearly upon us, with deep discounts on post-production services, software and essential gear, already appearing online.

In this post, I’ve reached out to all the post-production brands I know best to see if they’re running a deal this year that will help you save a few bucks and also support their essential businesses.

Some of them have offered me exclusive discounts or details of their deals ahead of time, so be sure to check back regularly over the next week or two to see if new deals are available for the thing you’re after, as I will be updating this post daily.

For others, I’m guessing that if they ran a Black Friday deal last year, they may well this year. But just because I’ve listed them early on, doesn’t guarantee that they will!

The Best Black Friday Deals on Amazon for Film Editors

Amazon always go big during the ‘Black Friday’ sales season – which somehow they stretch out for weeks on end – so keep an eye out for limited time deals, offers leading up to Black Friday and past Cyber Monday.

Amazon have opened up their Black Friday Week Deals already, many of which are time or stock limited so check back frequently.

These links should all geo-locate and attempt to find the same deals in your local Amazon store so click through to see if the same deal is available to you.

I’ll keep updating this list with the best deals I spot on Amazon in the next week or so, although some of them might be time or supply limited, if you’re reading this a bit later on.

If you’re not yet an Amazon Prime subscriber, I highly recommend it!

Not only will you get early access to some of the best deals during the sales, but you’ll get free shipping year round, access to Amazon Prime Video for shows like Mr. Robot and Homecoming (along with a zillion others) and their Prime Music service which has a strong catalogue of original soundtracks to listen to.

To name just two benefits.

You can sign up for a 30-day free trial here.

Save up to 60% on Amazon devices, including Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen), Amazon Fire Tablets, Echo smart speakers and Ring doorbells and security cameras.

Save 50% on an Amazon Fire HD 10 with a 1080p screen and 32GB of space, and turn it into a portable training library by downloading tons of tutorials onto it like I do, thanks to massively expandable external storage through the SD card slot.

Or get up to 45% off brand new Amazon Fire 8 tablets with 1080p screens and 32GB of internal storage. That’s a handy portable tablet for $55!

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K are currently 50% off at only $24.99

Extend your wifi with Amazon’s Eero Mesh network and save over 40%

My current fav Audible listen… really hope the make a movie of it!

Get 3 months of Audible for only $0.99/month + $20 Audible voucher – That’s $65 worth of membership for only $3!

You’ll get a free ebook each month, which you keep even after you cancel, plus access to thousands of other audiobooks while you maintain your subscription.

One of my favourite listens this year was Heat 2 from Micahel Mann and Meg Gardiner. It actually made my heart, literally, pound on more than one occasion.

Once you embrace the machismo of the narrator’s voice and some of the writing, it’s a really great listen. Pretty brutal in parts, but gripping.

A money-saving tip – at the end of the membership just hit cancel and say it was too expensive. Audible will likely aim to get you to stay with another half-price membership offer of 3-4 months. I’ve done this a couple of times. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever paid full price for it.

If you’re an Amazon Music Unlimited subscriber, you can now also borrow one audiobook a month as part of your subscription!

Amazon are also running a 3-month free trial for Unlimited music and podcasts right now.

The Best Amazon Black Friday Deals for Post-Production Professionals 2025

I’ve reviewed a lot of gear for film editors over the years from headphones to hard drives to editing peripherals – you can find quick links to them all right here.

Deals that aren’t really deals – Before you smash that buy button, it’s also worth using a price history site like Honey to double-check whether any particular deal is actually authentic or just manufactured through a (suddenly) high RRP and sale price to create a “discount” difference.

Apple Products – Airtags, Macbooks and more

You can also bag some big savings on Thunderbolt 4 Docks and Thunderbolt 5 Docks too.
