What I do

Long-form Editing

Documentaries, brand films and long-form YouTube. Pacing and story structure that holds attention end to end.

Short-form & Social

Vertical cuts for Reels, TikTok and Shorts - hooks, captions and platform-native rhythm that earn the rewatch.

Color Grading

Cinematic grades in DaVinci Resolve. Natural skin, balanced contrast, a mood that fits the story.

Motion & Titles

Type, lower-thirds and kinetic graphics in After Effects. Clean motion that supports the cut, never fights it.

Video SEO

Titles, descriptions, chapters and thumbnails optimised so the finished video actually gets found on YouTube and Google.

Social Media Strategy

Platform-native cuts and posting cadence for Instagram, YouTube and TikTok growth - the edit is only half the job.

Working with clients in Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, Canmore and across Canada - remote-friendly.

FAQ

Most Calgary editors charge $50 to $90 per hour for mid-level work, or flat project pricing from around $150 for a short social edit up to $2,500+ for a polished brand video. I quote flat per project so you always know the number up front.
Yes. I'm based in Calgary but I edit remotely for clients across Canada and internationally. All footage transfer, calls and revisions happen online.
DaVinci Resolve for color and finishing, Adobe Premiere Pro for fast-turnaround edits, and After Effects for motion graphics. You tell me how it should feel - I pick the right tool.
Short-form social edits typically come back in 2 to 4 days. Polished long-form or branded work runs 1 to 2 weeks depending on length and revisions.
Brand films, YouTube long-form, social Reels and TikToks, weddings and events, documentaries, podcasts, and motion graphics projects.
