I have several hours of raw footage that needs to be shaped into a cohesive, documentary-style story. The material is already logged and organised; what I now need is an experienced editor who can weave the interviews, b-roll and ambient sound into a polished final cut that feels authentic and engaging. You’ll receive a drive link with the media (mainly 4K, ProRes), a rough outline of the intended narrative arc, and time-coded notes on key moments. From there, I’d like you to handle pacing, sequencing, colour correction, basic audio sweetening and any subtle motion graphics or lower-thirds that help the story flow without drawing attention away from the content. Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve are preferred, though I’m open to Final Cut Pro if that’s your strongest tool. Deliverables: • A master file in 4K and a 1080p web-ready version • All project files and assets organised for future tweaks • Two rounds of revisions included so we can fine-tune the narrative and pacing If your portfolio shows strong documentary work—clean edits, clear storytelling, tasteful graphics—I’d love to see it. Turnaround is flexible within reason; quality takes priority.
