I’m completing a history-focused documentary and now need an experienced video editor to bring all the material to life in a clear, narrative-driven style. You’ll receive a mix of assets: raw interview footage, archival stills, stock clips, and a library of custom map animations plus other animated elements.

Your task is to weave these pieces into a cohesive story—shaping the arc, pacing scenes for maximum engagement, and ensuring historical context is easy to follow. That includes syncing sound, colour-matching shots, polishing the animated sequences so they blend naturally with live action, and delivering a final master ready for broadcast and web. Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (or equivalent) will be essential, and any experience with DaVinci Resolve for colour is a plus.

Final deliverables should include:
• A mastered documentary file in 4K and 1080p
• A split-track audio version for future dubbing
• All project files neatly organised for archival

Once the first cut is complete, I’ll provide consolidated notes; two rounds of revisions should be enough to get us to picture lock. If you love shaping historical narratives into compelling visual stories, I’d like to hear how you’d approach this project and see samples of similar work.
