video editing by top Avid and Final Cut Pro editors

Having the latest the editing equipment means nothing without the right storytellers and image-makers working the gear.  Studio B teams up with some of the most talented non-linear video editors and designers available. Because we primarily hire our video editors on a free-lance basis we can choose from a large pool of editors and select the right one for the job -- and keep it within your budget. For example, some of our video editors specialize in long-format documentaries and are great storytellers. Others are adept in cutting high-paced, very stylized television and corporate videos with beautiful after-effects compositing.  And yet other editors cut television spots and are good at working with ad agency clients and telling a story in 30 seconds.

Whatever your video editing needs, we can pair the right editor for the job.  Please see the clips above for some samples of their video editing work.
