Documentary Interview Portrait Editor
Worldwide
I’m producing a kendo (Japanese swordsmanship) documentary filmed in Europe. I need an editor for short interview portraits. What makes this easy: A full cut script is provided — exact timecodes, all subtitle text (copy-paste, no writing), name plates, title and end cards. No creative guesswork; you edit, you don’t have to design the story. What makes this special: The camera recorded no audio. You’ll sync a clean external audio file to the video by lip movement (plosive alignment). Please tell me if you’ve done lip-sync work before. Scope (per video): audio-video sync / cut per script / burn Japanese subtitles (copy-paste, font Noto Sans JP) / name plate & title & end card / quiet BGM from YouTube Audio Library / export 1080p mp4 + project file. Materials: ~30 min of 1080p footage, cleaned & AI-enhanced audio, full cut script in English. Shared via Google Drive. Process: 1 test video first. If the quality is right, 2 more videos immediately, then an ongoing series (a 15–20 min main film + more portraits). I’m looking for a long-term editor for this project. Confidentiality: unreleased footage — no posting or portfolio use without written permission. Please share: your rate for the test video, turnaround, and 1–2 links to interview/documentary work you’ve edited.
