Finishing
The shoot is
half the job.
Plenty of footage never becomes anything. It was shot by a freelancer who has moved on, or by the team on a phone, or by us on a different project a year ago, and it is sitting on a drive because nobody has cut it.
We take that in as a job on its own. You do not have to have shot with us for us to finish it.
- Edit — assembly, story structure, pacing, one round of changes included
- Colour grade — correction and a graded look, consistent across a series
- Sound — dialogue clean-up, mix, music and effects
- Motion graphics — titles, lower thirds, animated logos, simple explainer animation
- Subtitles and captions — burnt-in or as a separate file, English as standard
- Versioning and delivery — landscape, square and vertical, named and ready to upload
How an edit-only job runs
Send the drive,
get the film.
Send the footage
A hard drive to the studio, or a transfer link. Tell us what you were trying to make and roughly how long it should run.
We look at it first
Before quoting we check what is actually there. If the footage will not carry the film you want, we say so then — not after you have paid for an edit.
Cut
First cut for review, your notes, then grade, sound and graphics on the approved cut.
Deliver and archive
Final files in the formats you need, plus your original media back on its drive.
Common questions

Will you edit footage we did not shoot with you?
What if the footage is not good enough?
How do we get large files to you?
How many rounds of changes are included?
Do you grade and mix without doing the edit?
Who owns the project files?
