The project centers on shaping raw footage into a cohesive documentary. I already have source material and I want a dedicated video editor to assemble it into a compelling narrative. Deliverables • Archival footage woven seamlessly throughout the timeline • Voice-over narration integrated, mixed, and synced to picture • Final documentary master (1080p or higher) plus an editable project file Scope of work The cut should follow classic documentary pacing—thoughtful, informative, and engaging—placing emphasis on story flow rather than flashy transitions. Expect to sort, trim, and sequence interviews and b-roll, layer in the archival clips, and lay down the voice-over track so the story unfolds naturally. If you can perform light audio leveling and color balancing, that’s helpful, but the core requirement is skilled VIDEO EDITING within the documentary genre. Please indicate your preferred software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci, Final Cut, etc.) and include one or two links to past documentary edits so I can gauge storytelling style and technical finish.
