Editing and post-production

The edit suite is where footage either becomes a film or does not. It is also the one production phase worth ordering on its own — plenty of companies have hours of material on a drive that nobody ever cut.

01

  • Colour grading and matching shots from different cameras
  • Sound post-production, voice cleanup and mixing

Feedback needs a single voice

The most expensive part of editing is not the hours at the machine but the rounds of feedback. When it arrives from five people separately and contradicts itself, the work gets done twice.

So we work from one consolidated set of notes per round, timestamped in the review player, with two rounds included. A third is possible, but it is agreed upfront.

03

Sound gets noticed before picture does

Viewers forgive softer picture, but unintelligible or uneven sound makes them leave. So we clean the voice, level across scenes and mix to the target loudness of the medium — television, web and social each have their own.

For video that will run muted in a feed, subtitles are mandatory. Without them the message does not reach most viewers at all.

04

The archive is part of the delivery

We deliver the finished files, but also the project structure and the source footage. The client is not dependent on coming back to us in two years.

We keep a backup as well, because the most common request after a year is “we need to swap the price list in it”. With the archive that is an afternoon’s work.

Frequently asked

Will you edit footage we shot ourselves?
Yes. But we look at what exists before starting — with material lacking a proper audio track or any close-ups there is only so much to be done, and it is fair to say so upfront.
What formats will we receive?
Always a high-quality master plus derived versions for the media where the video will run — web, social, presentations, and a broadcast format for television if needed. The list is agreed at briefing, because it also shapes how the piece is cut.
