Los Angeles Video Editing & Post Production
Los Angeles Video Editing & Post Production
Skript Cinema provides Los Angeles video editing and post-production support for commercials, music videos, branded content, narrative, documentary and digital projects. Post can be scoped with the shoot or brought in around existing footage for primary edits, revisions, cutdowns, versioning, finishing coordination, exports and delivery support.
Flexible Post-Production Workflows
Post-production can be planned as part of a new Skript Cinema shoot or scoped around footage that already exists. The first step is understanding the source media, project status, creative references, deliverables, deadlines and review process so the edit can be organized around the actual job.
When production and post are connected, editorial choices can stay aligned with the visual priorities established during prep and the shoot. When footage comes from another team, Skript Cinema can join at the editing stage and build a practical path from first assembly through revisions, cutdowns, versioning, finishing coordination and delivery.
Core Editing & Post Services
Editing and post support can be scoped around the footage, deliverables and review needs of the project. See the broader production services available through Skript Cinema.
Editorial & Story Shaping
We build the narrative foundation through detailed primary edits. By isolating the most compelling takes, we craft sequences that maximize emotional impact while closely following your established script and structural guidelines.
Revision Rounds & Refinements
Post-production is an iterative progression. We facilitate structured revision rounds, allowing clients to confidently guide the editorial direction. This detailed refinement process ensures the sequence matches the precise creative vision.
Cutdowns & Social Versioning
Many campaigns need multiple lengths, aspect ratios and delivery versions. Post-production can include campaign cutdowns, alternate edits, vertical or social versions and platform-specific exports based on the requested deliverables.
Finishing & Final Delivery
Finishing coordination can include sequence consolidation, organized exports, version checks and final delivery support. The exact finishing and delivery scope is defined around the project’s requested formats and handoff requirements.
Protecting the Visual Intent
Editing should support the footage rather than fight it. Because Skript Cinema also works in commercial cinematography and cinematography / DP, the editorial approach can account for the framing, movement, coverage and lighting choices made during production.
For performance-driven or music-based work, including projects that begin with music video cinematography, pacing and cut structure can be shaped around the track, performance and visual references. Learn more about Skript Cinema’s production capabilities.
Preparing Your Files for Post
If you are supplying pre-shot footage to Skript Cinema for an editing-only engagement, a well-organized handover accelerates the entire timeline. Please provide the following elements when submitting your project scope:
- Raw Media Drives: Securely backed-up original camera files with complete folder structures maintained.
- Audio Stems: High-resolution external audio recordings, accompanied by production sound reports if available.
- Script & Storyboards: The locked shooting script, lined notes, and visual storyboards to guide the initial assembly.
- Creative Brief: Brand guidelines, reference materials, and formatting requirements for social or broadcast distribution.
Before editing begins, the source media, audio, existing project files, references and requested deliverables should be reviewed so the handoff and editorial workflow can be scoped correctly. See selected projects in the work archive.
A Practical Editing Workflow
- Review the footage and brief. Confirm source media, project status, references, deliverables, deadlines and any existing edit.
- Build the primary edit. Shape structure, pacing, selects and story around the approved creative direction.
- Consolidate revisions. Work through organized feedback and confirm which version is moving toward final delivery.
- Create versions and deliverables. Prepare approved cutdowns, alternate formats, exports and handoff requirements included in the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle post-production for projects you did not shoot?
Yes. Editing and post-production support can be scoped around footage captured by another production team. Share the source-media details, current project status, references, deliverables and any existing edit or project files.
How are revision rounds managed?
Revision structure is agreed during scoping based on the project, deliverables and timeline. Consolidated feedback helps keep editorial changes organized and makes it clear which versions are moving toward final delivery.
Do you output alternate versions?
Yes. Alongside the main hero sequence, we can build multiple versioning outputs, including shorter commercial lengths and vertically optimized files tailored specifically for social engagement.
Secure Your Post-Production Partner
If the footage already exists, send the project status, source-media details, references, deliverables and deadline. If production has not happened yet, post needs can be scoped alongside the shoot so editorial, cutdowns, versions and delivery requirements are considered from the start.
