About
I'm Rob - a professional video editor and colorist working in DaVinci Resolve Studio. My work spans documentary, short film, corporate, real estate, social media content, and branded video, with a constant focus on finding what makes each story land.
Good editing is invisible. Great editing changes how you feel about what you're watching. I approach every project with that goal - whether it's a 30-minute documentary or a 30-second reel for Instagram.
I'm currently open to project-based work as well as full-time opportunities. If you're looking for someone who understands both the technical and emotional craft of post-production, let's talk.
Skills
Editing
Full native editing in RAW and ProRes at any resolution. No transcode-first bottlenecks. Camera-original quality from first cut to final delivery.
Narrative
I shape footage into a coherent, compelling story - identifying the narrative thread across interviews, b-roll, and narration so the viewer is never lost.
Color
Scene-by-scene grading in DaVinci Resolve - from primary corrections and node-based secondaries to crafting a full cinematic look. Every shot balanced, every grade intentional.
Narrative
Beyond cutting - using color, pacing, music, and sound to amplify emotion and meaning in ways that aren't in the script. Editing as storytelling, not just assembly.
VFX · Compositing
Precise rotoscoping for selective color, compositing, and object removal. Utilizing Magic Mask for fast and accurate results.
AI Assisted · Magic MaskMotion · Fusion
Tracked, perspective-correct 3D elements integrated into live footage - animated titles, motion graphics, and visual overlays built inside Fusion's node compositor.
VFX · Compositing
Planar, point, and 3D camera tracking to lock composited elements - titles, logos, screen replacements, and VFX layers - convincingly into moving footage.
Audio · Fairlight
Extensive professional SFX library, atmospheric layers, and clean audio mixing in Fairlight.

AI-powered subtitle generation - accurate, editable, and styleable. Closed captions for accessibility.

Short films, documentaries, talking-head interviews, real estate walkthroughs, wedding films, brand and marketing videos - I understand the visual language of each and when to break it.
Delivery · Social
Native vertical editing for Reels and Shorts - AI Smart Reframe, safe zones, and pacing optimised for mobile-first viewing and short attention spans.
AI Assisted · Smart ReframeEditing
From invisible cuts to whip pans that carry the energy of a scene. Custom-built transitions in Fusion - always cut to feel, never just to impress.

Production Formats
Bit Depth Expertise
Not all bit depths are equal - and knowing exactly how far you can push each one before it breaks is what separates a clean grade from a noisy one.
