Documentary Video Editor Needed

@mqazi1000

A documentary like this lives or dies by pacing and clarity. If the cut drifts, the story loses grip. I’ll shape the footage into a clean, natural-feeling film where every scene earns its place and the visuals stay vivid without looking pushed. I’ll work from your raw footage and loose paper edit, then build the narrative around a locked picture cut, tasteful transitions, and subtle effects only where they help the story breathe. I’ll keep the lower-thirds, graphics, and supplied music or archival clips integrated cleanly, then finish the sound and colour so the final master feels polished for festival submission and online release. • Locked HD or 4K picture edit • Colour-corrected master plus H.264 and ProRes exports • Organised project files for easy future tweaks You can review my previous work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/mqazi1000 What kind of documentary rhythm are you aiming for, more restrained and observational, or slightly more energetic?
