Can you edit footage filmed by someone else?
Yes. We can work with footage from your team, another production company or a previous shoot. Send a sample and the approximate amount of material so we can check quality, compatibility and the work involved. You should have permission to use everything you supply.
What do you need to give an editing quote?
The purpose of the film, approximate footage length, desired finished length, deadline and the number of versions. A sample or viewing link helps. Tell us about graphics, captions, music and any existing project files so we can agree a realistic scope.
Can you turn a long video into social clips?
Yes. We can select useful excerpts or build new short edits from the original footage. We agree the number, length, aspect ratios and caption requirements before work begins. Where possible, send the original footage as well as the existing finished film.
Can you improve poor sound or inconsistent footage?
We can often improve levels, reduce some background noise and match colour between shots. The result depends on the source: distorted audio, missed focus and severely underexposed footage have limits. We’ll look at a sample and explain what is realistic before quoting.
Can you pick up an existing editing project?
Often, yes. Tell us which software and version it was made in, and whether you have the project, original media, fonts and any linked graphics. We’ll check the handover before committing to the work.
How quickly can you turn an edit around?
We agree a schedule around the footage, complexity, feedback and current availability. If you have a fixed launch date or urgent cutdown, tell us at the start so we can confirm what is achievable.
What about music and brand assets?
Send your logo, brand guidelines and any approved graphics. We can discuss suitable music as part of the brief. Supplied music, footage and other assets need appropriate permission for the intended use; we agree any additional licensing costs before proceeding.
