Video Editing & Post-Production
Professional post-production for businesses across South Africa. We work with footage from any source — our shoots or yours. Colour grading, audio cleanup, subtitles, and platform-optimised cuts delivered digitally. You do not need to come to Johannesburg.
What Post-Production Actually Delivers
Raw footage is a starting point. What makes it usable — in a board presentation, on a website, or on social media — is the editing. Proper colour grading makes poorly lit footage presentable. Audio cleanup removes background noise that makes interviews difficult to follow. Subtitles turn footage that would be skipped on a phone into content that gets watched to the end.
The other thing post-production delivers is format. A five-minute corporate video needs to become a 60-second LinkedIn version, a 30-second vertical cut for Instagram Reels, and a captioned version suitable for audiences watching without sound. These are not the same edit done three times — each format requires a different structure, different pacing, and different caption copy written in the appropriate register for each platform. We produce all of these as part of the editing brief.
We work entirely remotely. Footage arrives via shared link — Google Drive, WeTransfer, or Dropbox. Edited files are returned the same way. If you are in Cape Town, Durban, or the Karoo, the process is identical to working with someone in Johannesburg.
Master Edit
Full post-production — colour grading, audio, graphics, subtitles. Broadcast-quality output for website and archiving.
LinkedIn & Facebook
60-second cut formatted for feed viewing. Subtitles on. Caption copy written in the correct register for each platform.
Instagram Reels / TikTok
30-second vertical (9:16) cut. Subtitles included. Caption copy and hashtag set provided.
Subtitles & Captions
Added to all versions. Captions-on is standard mobile viewing behaviour — unsubbed content is frequently skipped.
Colour Grading
Consistent colour treatment across all footage — corrects mixed lighting, unifies multi-camera shoots, establishes visual tone.
Audio Cleanup
Noise reduction, level balancing, and dialogue cleanup. Makes interview and location footage professionally audible.

How It Works
1. Brief. You describe what needs to be edited — the footage type, the intended use, the platforms you need it formatted for. We confirm scope and turnaround and provide a fixed quote.
2. Footage transfer. You upload your raw footage via Google Drive, WeTransfer, Dropbox, or any shared link. We download it and begin post-production. No physical media required, no need to travel to Johannesburg.
3. First cut delivery. We deliver the edited version via a shared download link, typically within 5–7 business days for standard projects. Rush delivery (2–3 business days) is available at an additional fee, confirmed at the quoting stage.
4. Revisions. One revision round is included in all editing projects. Structural changes outside the agreed brief are quoted separately before additional work begins.
5. Final files. All agreed formats delivered — master edit, platform cuts, subtitle files. Project files are held for 30 days after final delivery.
- Standard projects: 5–7 business days
- Rush delivery: 2–3 business days (additional fee)
- Complex multi-day shoots: Timeline agreed at quoting stage
- Editing priced by: Finished content duration and complexity — not raw footage length
