Video editing in Sydney

Send us the footage, get it back ready to post. Podcast clips, social cut-downs, brand films and long-form — edited, captioned and colour-graded, from any camera or a phone.

The approach

Filming is the easy part. Most businesses already have hours of footage sitting on a phone or a drive, and no time to cut any of it. That's where the content plan quietly dies.

Editing-only removes the hardest bit of the schedule. There's no shoot day to organise, no crew in your office, no disruption. You film when it suits you — even on a phone — and we turn it into finished pieces.

It's also where the majority of our work already sits. Most of the clips in our portfolio are footage we didn't shoot.

03

Colour and sound

Graded for consistency across clips, audio levelled, room noise reduced.

Every aspect ratio

9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 1:1 for feed, 16:9 for YouTube and your website. One edit, all formats.

How it runs

The process, start to finish

Send the footage

Drive link, Dropbox, or a hard drive. Tell us the angle and roughly how long each cut should run.

Two rounds included. Timestamped notes are easiest for both of us.

What it costs

Priced to the job, not off a menu

Editing-only work is usually priced per clip or as a monthly block. Short-form edits across the market run roughly $80 to $250 each, with monthly arrangements bringing the per-clip figure down.

We scope every job properly and put a fixed number in writing before anything starts. No hourly billing, no surprises at the end.

What moves the number

  • Length and complexity of the cut
  • How much footage you send versus how much makes the edit
  • Motion graphics, subtitles in other languages, licensed music
  • Standard or rush turnaround

Questions

Common questions

Can you edit footage shot on a phone?

Yes, and a lot of the best-performing social content is phone footage. Shoot in the highest resolution your phone offers and keep it steady — that's most of it.

How fast is turnaround?

Five working days standard. Rush turnaround of 48 hours is available at a surcharge.

What editing software do you use?

Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. If you need project files rather than exports, we can supply them.

Do you write the captions?

Yes. Transcribed, corrected by hand, then styled and timed to the cut — auto-captions left uncorrected are one of the most obvious signs of a cheap edit.

What if I only need one video?

Per-clip pricing exists for exactly that. No minimum commitment.
