Miller's first screen credit was for "The Breakfast Club" (directed by John Hughes - 1985); he was the associate editor for the distinguished, veteran film editor Dede Allen. Miller's first three editing credits were also for films co-edited by Allen, commencing with "The Milagro Beanfield War" (directed by Robert Redford - 1988). Following "Let It Ride" (directed by Joe Pytka - 1989), he and Allen co-edited "The Addams Family" (1991), which was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Miller then worked (without Allen) as the editor for five more of Sonnenfeld's films, including "Men in Black" (1997).

In addition to their Academy Award nomination, Miller and Rubell's editing of "Collateral" was honored by nominations for the ACE Eddie Award, BAFTA Award for Best Editing, and the Satellite Award for Best Editing, which they won.
