Video editor

Freelance video editor London

As a freelance video editor based in London, I edit documentaries, short-form films, music-based content, promotional videos, and social media campaigns for clients across the UK and internationally.

With decades of professional post-production experience, I create engaging edits that combine strong storytelling, technical precision, and efficient workflows. Whether you need a polished promotional film, a fast-turnaround social media edit, or a short-form documentary, I deliver professional results tailored to your audience and platform.

BBC-trained video editor

My professional editing career began in 1996 when I joined the BBC.

Soon afterwards, I became highly experienced with Avid editing systems when the BBC introduced Avid in 1998. Since then, I have continued working extensively with Avid Media Composer for broadcast and professional video production.

During my time at the BBC, I worked as both:

• A promotional trailer editor
• A programme video editor

As a result, I developed strong editorial judgement, fast turnaround skills, and a deep understanding of broadcast-quality post-production workflows.

Experienced freelance video editor

Over the years, I have edited a wide variety of projects, including:

• Charity documentaries
• Music-based video projects
• Promotional films
• Corporate video content
• Social media campaigns
• Arts and festival films

My video editor portfolio showcases the high standard of my editing work across multiple formats and industries.

Professional video editing skills

Because modern video production demands both creativity and efficiency, I combine technical expertise with a fast and organised workflow.

My editing skills include:

• Media management
• Narrative construction
• Editing with additional assets like graphics, music and voiceovers
• Subtitles in multiple languages
• Sound mixing
• Colour correction
• Visual effects
• Social media formatting and delivery

In addition, I work efficiently under deadlines while maintaining a strong focus on quality, pacing, and audience engagement.

Storytelling through editing

One of my key strengths as a freelance video editor is shaping compelling narratives during the edit process.

Even when projects have limited pre-production, incomplete storyboards, or unscripted footage, I can structure engaging edits that maximise the strongest moments within the available material.

Because of my extensive experience in documentary and promotional editing, I know how to create films that feel natural, emotionally engaging, and visually coherent.

Remote video editing services

Thanks to ultra-fast full-fibre 1Gb/s broadband, I provide remote video editing services for clients throughout London, the UK, and worldwide.

This high-speed connection allows me to:

• Upload and download large media files quickly
• Collaborate remotely with production teams
• Deliver edits efficiently
• Maintain smooth post-production workflows

As a result, clients can work with me remotely while still receiving fast, reliable, and professional post-production support.

Secure video editing workstation and media storage

My Mac-based editing workstation connects to more than 80TB of professional media storage, including three high-capacity Pegasus RAID 5 drives.

To improve media security and project protection, I mirror each RAID system onto separate local hard drives.

In addition, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) protects both my workstation and media drives during power interruptions or electrical failures.

Because reliable storage and backup systems are essential in professional post-production, I maintain secure and dependable workflows for all client media.
