Process

Simple, async, and built to ship weekly without chaos.

Step 01

Intake

You send your footage/audio + any notes. I define the edit direction, deliverables, and the "rules" for pacing and sound.

  • Reference episode(s) + notes
  • Style rules (captions, pacing, cut rhythm)
  • Deliverables checklist
  • Deadline + revision plan

Output: clear plan + clean handoff

Step 02

Edit

Story → pacing → polish. I cut for retention, tighten every beat, and keep your sound consistent from episode to episode.

  • Story-first assembly
  • Pacing + cut rhythm
  • Audio cleanup + loudness
  • Captions / punch-ins as agreed

Output: polished draft

Step 03

Review

One clean revision round. You send timestamped feedback and I make it right — fast.

  • 1 revision round included
  • Timestamped feedback
  • Quick turnaround

Output: approved edit

Step 04

Deliver

Exports for every platform — ready to publish with zero extra work.

  • 16:9 master export
  • 9:16 shorts + captions
  • Podcast audio export

Output: ready to publish

Case study

How I helped Via Stoica grow their podcast audience.

01
The challenge

Inconsistent audio quality, pacing that lost viewers mid-episode, and no short-form content for social platforms.

02
What I did

Implemented a story-first editing workflow, cleaned and leveled all audio to -14 LUFS, and created 5+ platform-ready shorts per episode with dynamic captions.

03
The result

Episodes now consistently hit 100K+ views. Shorts drive discovery on TikTok and Reels. Weekly publishing became stress-free with a repeatable pipeline.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before we start.

What file formats do you accept?

I accept all common formats: .mp4, .mov, .wav, .mp3, .aiff, and more. For video, I prefer ProRes or H.264, and for audio, WAV or AIFF at 44.1kHz/24-bit.

What's your typical turnaround time?

For single episodes, usually 3–5 business days. For weekly packages, we'll agree on a consistent schedule that works for your release cadence.

How does the revision process work?

All packages include at least one revision round. Just send clear, timestamped feedback and I'll make the changes. For weekly clients, we can build a quick feedback loop.

Do you offer rush services?

Yes! If you need something turned around faster, just ask. Rush pricing varies based on the scope and timeline.

Can you work with footage from multiple cameras?

Absolutely! I regularly work with multicam setups for video podcasts. Just send all the angles and I'll sync them up.
