Planning is paramount
Requirements
Here’s where we take the time to get to know your specific requirements for your project. We’ll work together within your brief ensuring we understand your key messages and requirements.
Rushes
Once we’ve agreed on the brief, we can get to work. When filming wraps, send your footage over via WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or any method that suits you. We work with most formats, but it’s worth checking with us first if you’re unsure. Once we have the files, editing begins.
Editing
We’ll cut the assembly edit quickly, keeping close attention to detail throughout. Once we’re happy with the cut, you can review and leave feedback directly on the video. We’ll turn around all amends, give you a final chance to tweak, then export and deliver in your agreed format.
Edit, grade and deliver
We handle the full post-production process in-house: offline edit, colour grade, audio mix, motion graphics and final delivery. Whether you’re sending us footage you’ve shot yourself, material from another crew, or a mix of both, we take it from rough cut to finished film.
Our editors work in Adobe Premiere and After Effects, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve. We use the Red Giant suite for VFX and grade work where the brief calls for it.
How the editing process works
Your footage transfers to our server on receipt and the project is backed up on and off-site throughout. We cut an assembly edit first, refine it, then send you a secure review link where you can leave timestamped notes directly on the video.
We work in Adobe Creative Suite and Final Cut Pro, with plugins including the Red Giant suite for grade and effects work. AI tools now handle subtitling and transcription quickly, which speeds up delivery on content that needs captions.
We can also integrate motion graphics, music, voiceover and subtitles as part of the same project. No need to brief a separate supplier.
Delivery and distribution
The final grade and audio master happen at our in-house edit suite. We deliver in whatever format you need: broadcast specs, web optimised, social cuts or all of the above.
If you’d rather review edits face to face, we can arrange that too. Some clients find it faster to sit together for the amends round than to go back and forth on notes.
Once you’ve signed off, we can also advise on distribution, platform specs and how to get the most out of the finished film. Take a look at our motion graphics service if your project needs animated elements alongside the edit.
Review
Once you’ve received the first draft, you can take your time to review it, ensure you’re happy with all of the cuts and assets used within the final piece, you can then come back to us with any amends that you require. this way, we can be certain the final piece delivered to you will be exactly how you want it.
Sign Off
With everything in place and all the amends made, we can then happily sign off on the final version and send it over to you in a way to suit you best.
Social Media
Once you’ve received your finalised version, we’re here to help even after delivery. We can help you achieve the best way to make use of your new video whatever its aim.
