Hire the Best Video Editors in Sacramento, CA

I edit long-form talking-head video and live music: sermons, podcasts, interviews, worship sets. Multicam, color, audio post, and short vertical cuts from the same source. The videos I cut have passed 1.9 million views on the channels I work with. I do this every week, not occasionally. Multiple long-form videos and dozens of short clips ship on a fixed weekly schedule, and have for three years. If you need someone once, I can do that. If you need someone who will still be delivering the same quality in month eighteen, that is what I am built for. WHAT I EDIT • Sermons, podcasts, interviews, testimonies, teaching and course content • Worship and live music: multicam performance video with a real audio mix • Short vertical cuts for YouTube Shorts, Reels and TikTok, pulled from the long-form edit HOW I EDIT My job is not trimming the top and tail. I cut for pace and meaning: dead air, stumbles, filler, repeated thoughts, and whole sentences that do not earn their place. A ninety-minute recording becomes something a person actually finishes. That same discipline is what makes the short clips work, because by the time I cut them I know exactly where the strong moments are. FULL POST-PRODUCTION • Multicam editing, 2 to 5+ angles, synced and matched • Color correction and grading: clean natural skin tones, cameras matched to each other • Audio post: dialogue cleanup, noise and room control, consistent levels, music balance • Motion graphics: titles, lower thirds, captions, verse and quote animations • Delivery in the formats and specs you need, captions included TECHNICAL SETUP DaVinci Resolve and Fusion, Waves for audio. Calibrated monitor, a workstation built for this, and a large storage server, so heavy source material is not a problem: Blackmagic RAW, Sony, RED, long multicam days. Send me the card dumps, not a compressed proxy. TRACK RECORD Five channels, three years, weekly delivery. 1.9M+ views and 44,000+ hours watched on work I edited. Every client who started with me is still with me. HOW I WORK WITH YOU Send a reference for the style you want and I will match it. First cut, your notes, then the revision. I answer messages within 24 hours and usually much faster, and I tell you early if something in the footage will be a problem instead of surprising you at delivery. If you have a recurring show, a sermon or podcast pipeline, or a live music project that deserves a real edit, message me and tell me what you are working on.
