I will edit your documentary youtube video


About this gig
I edit documentaries and long-form video with real narrative structure, not just a timeline of clips in order.
Interviews, B-roll, archival footage, voiceover I shape it into a story with a beginning, a turn, and a payoff, not just footage stitched end to end.
️What I actually do to your footage:
- Structure interviews and B-roll into a clear narrative arc
- Pacing built around emotional beats, not just runtime
- Color grading for a consistent, cinematic look across mixed footage sources
- Sound design, music placement, and dialogue cleanup
- Subtitles/captions for accessibility and silent viewing
This comes from an actual filmmaking background, not just editing software. I co-directed Crescendo, a short film, and I'm a core member of Whipan Production. I think about story structure the way a director does, because that's genuinely where I started.

Send over your raw footage, any interview transcripts or narration script, and references for tone or style, and I'll build it into something that holds together as a story, not just a video.
Responsive, realistic timelines, revisions until the structure and pacing actually work.

FAQ
🎞️ How much raw footage can I send?
Each package has a raw footage cap (30 min for Basic, 90 min for Standard, 3 hours for Premium). If you're over that, message me first, I can quote extra footage at an hourly add-on rather than a flat rejection.
🎙️ Do you handle voiceover or narration?
Yes. Send your narration as a separate audio file (or a script if you want me to help place it), and I'll sync it against the footage and mix it with the rest of the audio.
📼 Can you work with archival footage or mixed-quality sources?
Yes, I regularly cut projects blending interview footage, B-roll, and lower-quality archival clips. I'll color match everything as closely as possible so the final piece feels visually consistent, though very low-resolution archival material will always look slightly different by nature.
🎵 What about music? Do I need to provide licensed tracks?
I use Epidemic Sound for music and sound design, so most projects are covered without you needing to source separate licensed tracks. If you have a specific track or licensing requirement (like a client-mandated library), just let me know and I'll work with that instead.
📝 Do you write the narrative structure, or do I need a script/outline first?
I can structure the story based on your interview footage and raw material even without a script, that's part of the editing process. If you already have an outline or story beats in mind, sending that helps me align faster with your vision, but it's not required to get started.
⏱️ How long does delivery actually take for longer projects?
Delivery times listed (2/3/7 days) assume footage within each tier's cap. Larger raw footage volumes or more complex archival work may need a longer timeline, I'll always confirm before starting if your project needs more time than the package default.
