You shot it. I'll cut it.

Video editing for people who would rather be behind a camera than behind a timeline.

Multicam interviews, podcasts, short form, long form. I'm in St. George and I work anywhere. Send me the footage and a deadline, and you get it back cut, colored, mixed, and captioned.

Selected work

I have been on the other side of the camera.

I've built spots from an empty room. Set design, lighting, camera, the whole production, then the edit. That background is why I can look at what you handed me and tell what you were going for.

If you shoot for a living, that probably reads as a threat. Fair. So here it is up front, and in writing further down: I will not approach a client I met through your job. If one of them comes to me, I point them back to you. Your work goes out under your name, not mine, and I do not tell anyone I touched it. You are hiring hands, not a competitor with a foot in the door.

As a digital marketer, I struggled to keep up with the content demands needed for growth. Hiring Adam completely transformed the look, feel, and results of my clients' content. He turned average ads into top performers, even cut one client's lead costs in half.

Stuck on one thing

Sometimes you do not need an editor. You need 40 minutes.

The multicam will not sync. The audio drops every time you cut to the second camera. You have watched four tutorials and it still will not do the thing, and the project has been sitting there for a week.

I will get on a screen share and sit with you until it works. You keep the project, you keep the client, and you learn the fix so it never eats another week. Most of these take under an hour, and I bill by the hour with no minimum beyond the first one.

If it turns out to be faster for me to just do it, I will say so instead of running the clock.

What I cut

4 things, done properly.

Multicam interviews and podcasts

This is what the setup is built for. 2 to 4 cameras synced and switched on whoever is talking, with the audio glued to the person instead of the angle. 1 lav mic or 6, I'll make it work. I cut my own show this way, so recurring is normal here, not a favor.

Short form vertical

Reels, Shorts, and TikToks pulled out of footage you already have. Hooks that hold and captions that read. One shoot usually makes 10 of these.

YouTube long form

Full episode edits. Retakes gone, b-roll placed, graphics only where they earn the space. Captions come standard, and I can add a described audio track if your audience or your contract needs one.

Color and audio finishing

Your footage, made to look and sound like it cost more. Color corrected, shots matched, background noise gone, audio evened out. Send raw files and I'll handle all of it, or send a locked timeline and I'll finish to your spec.

I work in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro, and I can pick up your project file instead of starting over. Editing for other producers and studios is normal here, and it's white label by default. The policy is written down below so neither of us has to guess.

What it costs

Depends on what you shot, and I would rather look before I answer.

A one-camera interview with clean audio and a four-camera shoot with a separate recorder are not the same job, and pricing them the same would mean overcharging one of you. So there is no rate card here on purpose.

Tell me what you have in plain words. How many cameras, roughly how long, what you want out the other end, and when you need it. You get a real number back, usually same day, with what is included spelled out so nothing shows up on an invoice you did not agree to.

Standing work prices differently than one-offs. If you are running a weekly show or cutting a batch of clips out of one shoot, say so and I will quote the block.

Whatever the budget turns out to be, your project gets the same standards I put on work people paid real money for. There is no cheap tier of effort here.

How it works

  1. Tell me what you shot. One sentence is enough. 2 cameras, an hour of interview, need it Friday.
  2. Send the footage. Frame.io, Drive, Dropbox, or a drive across town. Whatever you already use.
  3. Watch it come together. You don't wait in the dark.
  4. Get it back. Cut, colored, mixed, captioned, in the formats you need.

You're in the timeline with me.

If you're an editor, I'll set up a Blackmagic Cloud project or a Premiere Pro collaboration so you can open the actual cut while I'm working in it. If you're not an editor, I'll send you a link to watch the current draft, no software required.

Either way, leaving a note is just clicking the spot in the video and typing what you think. That is the whole skill. Your note lands in my timeline at the exact frame you clicked, so there are no timecode lists typed into an email and no "around the 3 minute mark, the part where he laughs."

That's also why 2 revision rounds is enough. Most of the back and forth never has to happen, because you saw it before it was finished.

Working white label

If you're bringing me your client's footage.

Here's how it works, in writing, before you send anything.

  • It goes out under your name. Your client hired you. The deliverable is yours. If you want me credited, that's your call to make, not mine.
  • Nothing of yours goes in my portfolio without your written OK. Not a frame, not a still, not a "recent project" mention.
  • I won't approach a client I met through your job. If one of them comes to me directly, I'll point them back to you.
  • Your project stays private. Files, names, and what you paid me.

Ask for any of this in writing and I'll put it in writing.

Turnaround and revisions

Standard turnaround is 5 business days from the day the footage lands. Rush in 48 to 72 hours is available and costs more. If anything on my end would put your deadline at risk, you hear it before you book, not after.

2 rounds of revisions are included on every project. Round one is notes on the cut, round two is polish. You leave those notes as markers on the video, not as a written list. Anything past 2 rounds is new scope, and I'll tell you before the meter starts.

On a recurring show I keep your settings, your template, and your preferences on file. You shouldn't have to explain your lower third twice.

You own the finished files. I keep a backup for 30 days in case something goes wrong on your end.

Get your project moving

3 ways to start.

Or just tell me what you have. I read every one of these.

5 short fields. No account, no password, nothing to verify. I reply the same day or first thing the next.

A sentence is plenty. Two cameras, an hour of interview, one lav mic.
