How we work
together

A clear flow, from your first message to the final video.

  1. Step 01

    Brief

    We frame your needs: goal, length, tone, format and deadlines. You send me your footage and references.

  2. Step 02

    Logging

    I sort and organize the material, spot the best takes and prepare the story structure.

  3. Step 03

    Editing

    First cut, then back-and-forth. We refine the pacing, color, motion and sound.

  4. Step 04

    Delivery

    I export the master in the right formats for each platform (cinema, web, social), ready to publish.

About

A freelance video editor, I work with artists, brands and directors, from the first logging session to the final master.

I care as much about the substance — the structure, the rhythm — as about the details: a clean transition, the right color, sound that breathes.

Frequently
asked questions

Everything people often ask me before we start.

What kinds of videos do you edit?

Music videos, commercials, documentaries, aftermovies and short formats for social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube).

What are your turnaround times?

It depends on the format and the amount of footage. Usually from a few days for a short format to a few weeks for a documentary. We set a date together right at the brief.

How much does an edit cost?

Every project is different: I give a free quote after the brief, based on the length, the number of versions and the elements to create (motion, grading, sound).

How many versions / revisions are included?

Usually two rounds of revisions are included. We agree on this from the start to avoid surprises.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I work with clients everywhere: you send me your footage online (WeTransfer, Drive…) and we track progress over video calls or messages. I can also come on site in Paris.

How do I send you my files?

Through a download link (WeTransfer, Google Drive, Dropbox…). I'll guide you to prepare and name your files if needed.
