Online Editing

Brand – Documentary – Broadcast

Online editing is where everything gets locked, conformed and polished. It’s the stage that turns your rough cut into a master — syncing up media, matching shots to grade, cleaning transitions, finalising effects, and outputting delivery-ready assets that look and feel finished.

At Here Now Films, we provide full online editing services for commercials, docs, and branded content. Whether we’ve handled the offline or you’re handing us a locked cut, we’ll take care of everything from conform and clean-up to visual polish and final export.

We’re fluent in EDLs, XMLs, grade relinks, and delivery specs, but we also know that for most clients, it just needs to look right and be done right. We get you to finish line, without friction.

Offline Editing Services

Picture Conform & Mastering

We take the locked offline cut and rebuild it with full-res media, ensuring frame-accuracy, synced audio, and spec-ready timelines. Whether we’re working from an XML, EDL or project handover, we prep the final picture cleanly for delivery, grade, or both.

Shot Cleanup & Reframing

We tidy up rough transitions, remove flash frames or burn-ins, and reframe shots to match campaign layouts. This is where we finesse the visual flow — fixing the little things that get missed in offline.

Supers, Captions & End Cards

We build in all the overlays and text that finish the film: from title cards and CTAs to animated supers and end slates. If you’re versioning for multiple regions, platforms, or languages, we’ll prep every variation with clean, consistent design.

Relinking & Grade Prep

We relink to high-resolution media, clean up the timeline, and prep for grading in Resolve or your preferred platform. We handle all transcoding, proxies, and prep in-house, so you get a seamless pipeline into colour and sound.

Multi-Aspect Ratio Exports

We deliver campaign masters across formats — from 16:9 hero cuts to vertical and square versions for social. If you’ve got supers or text layers, we’ll reframe and reposition everything so it looks great on every platform.

Broadcast & Platform Delivery

We’re fluent in specs — from EBU R128 and Clearcast to ProRes exports and file-naming conventions. If you need slates, clock numbers, split audio stems or M&E mixes, we’ll deliver masters that meet platform standards the first time, no back-and-forth needed.

Formats We Cut

We finish a wide range of formats, each with their own delivery demands, from split stems and slates to versioned cutdowns and compliance. Whether it’s a regional TVC or a multi-platform social rollout, we make sure your final picture is built to spec and ready to go.

  • Broadcast TVCs – fully conforming edits with clock numbers, slates, and spec-accurate exports
  • Brand Films – polished finishing for in-house, digital, or event delivery
  • Episodic Documentaries – multi-cam finishing and asset prep for series delivery
  • NGO & Comms Content – multilingual versions, subtitling support, and multi-region exports
  • Social Campaigns – cutdowns and aspect-ratio variants with repositioned overlays
  • International Versions – localisation support for language, GFX, and platform-specific formats

How We Work

We’re built to deliver final picture fast and clean, whether we’re working solo or alongside your in-house team. Here’s how most clients work with us:

1. Remote Online Editing

Most of our projects run fully remote. You hand over the offline or XML, we handle conform, polish and delivery, with review links via Frame.io, Vimeo, or WeTransfer.

2. Studio-Based Sessions (on request)

Need to sit in? We edit from trusted London studios as needed, ideal for agency sign-offs or tight-turnaround TVCs.

3. Cloud Review Workflows

We’ll host feedback via Frame.io or Vimeo, making it easy to comment, review, and approve versions without version fatigue.

Joe Devine
I worked with a crew of four people from Here Now Films for a pilot project. Morgan, the organiser, was very proficient and quick to respond to communications. We met for the first time on the day with a bit of a hazy plan for a tricky shoot, but the crew took it all in their step and the final product was great. Would recommend.
Miranda Spiro
I have worked with Here Now for two projects now and both have been hugely successful. The team are collaborative, creative and reliable. They have executed both projects to a supremely high standard and we are all delighted with the results. Will definitely be using them for future projects.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words Miranda! You guys have been brilliant to work with. Looking forward to the next video project, in London or where ever you need to send us, soon!

Mopani Mkandawire
We had the pleasure of working with Here Now Films on a recent project that required sourcing film crews in multiple locations on short notice. Despite the tight deadlines and logistical challenges, they exceeded our expectations in every way.

Their ability to quickly assemble professional and talented crews was impressive, and their dedication to meeting our deadlines was commendable. The quality of the content produced was outstanding and played a crucial role in the success of our project.

We highly recommend Here Now Films for any production needs. Their professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to excellence make them an invaluable partner.
Response from the owner:Hey Mo, Thanks so much for such a lovely review. You guys were a pleasure to work with, loved the project and can’t wait for the next! If you ever need video production in London just give us a shout. Best, Ed
Sam Manning
Ed and Ted created a micro-documentary for us showcasing an innovative project in Cornwall, they were highly professional, fitted in seamlessly with a highly complex and fast paced day of activity and logistics, while building instant rapport with the multiple people involved in the day. In the end they produced a brilliant product for us delivering exactly to the brief, telling the story of the project with creative flare, style and depth. I'd highly recommenced them to anyone looking to create high quality, watchable content, with a company that has a journalistic and high level of attention to detail and adaptable approach to covering a story. Also great fun to work with in general from the creative planning stages through to filming.
Response from the owner:Sam thank you for such a great review. Project was epic and you guys absolutely nailed the organisation and logistics of everything. I’m glad you Love the film as much as we do! Looking forward to the next. Ed

Great team, great energy, and most importantly a great end product. Ed and his team have helped me on a number of projects from events to brand films and they've always delivered above and beyond.
