Wise requested a transfer to the film side of the business, where he learned the trade of cutting film frames from the master film editor Billy Hamilton. Wise eventually graduated from assistant to film editor. After becoming an editor, his first two works were on Ginger Rogers works Bachelor Mother (1939) and 5th Ave. Girl (1939) which was then followed by The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939).

While hitting a lull in the production schedule in 1935, Wise worked in tandem with seasoned editor T.K. Woods to create a ten-minute film on the South Seas out of some extra footage. The result was A TRIP THROUGH FIJILAND, for which Wise earned his first screen credit and a $500 bonus.

It was at this point where the Sound Effects editor noticed young Wise and asked for him as an apprentice to learn sound effects editing and music editing. After apprenticing on the classic Of Human Bondage (1934), Wise served as (unaccredited) sound effects editor on The Gay Divorcee (1934), Top Hat (1935) and the multiple Oscar-winning The Informer (1935). Even in his early years as an apprentice, he was making waves and being attached to the right projects.
