Powerful Video Editing services
That Instantly Elevate Your Brand
I offer professional video editing services and I am not just an editor. Video editing is often misunderstood as a purely technical skill. Knowing software, shortcuts, and tools is important, but it’s only the foundation. What truly separates good editors from great ones is design sense.
Design sense is the ability to feel what works and what doesn’t. It’s an understanding of pacing, rhythm, drama, and restraint. It’s knowing when to cut, when to hold, and when to let a moment breathe. Whether you need a promotional video for a product, a corporate or educational piece, or engaging content to make your website stand out, I can help create your piece from start to finish.
It Starts with an idea..
And grows from there
Below are the video editing services I offer and some frequently asked questions about my process. I can perform all of these roles or only one or two of these roles in any given project.
If you are considering a video or any of my video editing services, then contact me and we can set up a video call. In this call we can get to know eachother a bit. I will want to know what the overall drive is for this video. Why do you want a video? What is it for? Where will you use this video?
We can discuss your business, your competition and other ideas you may have and we can even go and look at some other videos that may be similar to what you are looking for.
I will likely give some ideas at this point because when I have them, I want to share them. I also want to know where your head is at and if I am thinking along the same lines as you are. Then when we finish this meeting, I can start preparing a quote for the project.
During our call, we likely discussed your budget. Among my roster of video editing services, I can provide a variety of solutions depending on your needs and the resources available.
If you prefer a budget-conscious option, I can prepare a quote that reflects that approach. Alternatively, if you would like to compare a cost-effective solution with a premium option, I can provide both so you can clearly see the difference. I can also present a range of costs that covers both ends of the spectrum, allowing us to narrow it down to a level you are comfortable with.
My quotes outline in detail exactly what is included. If preferred, I can also provide a fixed-cost option so you know upfront what you will be spending and what you will receive. Each quote includes a timeline, and I ask for a partial deposit. Once the quote is approved and the deposit is received, I begin the work
There are many approaches to scriptwriting for video. In some cases, clients provide a general outline, which I then develop into a full script, adapting their content specifically for the screen.
When clients are unsure of what they want, I take time to understand their business and, if needed, collaborate with a professional writer from my network. This writer conducts interviews with the client or key stakeholders to uncover the product, service, or promotion’s core message. Together, we then shape these insights into a compelling script.
I often have a vision for the video before I go to the writer so it is important that we work closely on the script.
As part of my video editing services, I ensure complete clarity on my client’s vision by creating detailed storyboards or wireframes that outline the video. These storyboards may include the script, planned actions, and cutaways, with the level of detail tailored to each client’s needs. I collaborate closely with clients throughout this process, refining the boards until they are fully satisfied.
At this stage of my video editing services, I focus on organizing all project assets. This includes logging provided footage or curating clips from my royalty-free stock libraries. I structure each project with dedicated folders for video, audio, and graphics, ensuring a streamlined, efficient workflow from start to finish.
One of my key strengths as a video editor is my background in design. In many projects, the design and editing stages are handled separately, with one person creating graphics and another managing the edit. As part of my video editing services, I combine both skill sets by designing initial frames in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator and seamlessly carrying that design work into Adobe Premiere during the editing process. This streamlined approach saves time, reduces back-and-forth, and ensures a cohesive visual style that I establish early before moving fully into the edit.
I typically edit a short section of the video with sound effects and full graphics to give the client a clear sense of the overall look and feel. This version is known as a ‘rough cut.’
The rough cut provides an opportunity for the client to give detailed feedback, and if adjustments to the direction are needed, this is the stage to make them. While I have not yet encountered a client who wished to change direction at this point, it is important to me that they feel fully confident in the approach. Once the rough cut is approved, I proceed with editing the complete piece.
Whatever was “rough” in the first cut will now be tightened up and b-roll or cutaways will be added. The client will be supplied a full edited piece for final approval and this is the “fine cut”.
Getting your videos fully prepared for delivery is a crucial part of my video editing services, backed by expertise that ensures flawless, platform-ready results.Because of my background in building websites, I can help advise my clients on the best way to display their videos for online viewing. I will compress and upload the videos for whatever medium my clients want to display their videos on (Youtube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram etc). I can also provide a download of the full (non-compressed) video for future use, on request.
