Post-Production Services in London

Video Editing London

Brand – Documentary – Broadcast

Here Now Films offers professional video editing in London for brands, agencies, NGOs and creative teams that want sharp, story-led work, without the fuss. Whether you’re handing over a full drive of rushes or dropping us into a half-built timeline, we’ll shape it into something that actually lands with your audience.

Our video editing services sit at the core of our London post-production offering, designed to flex for everything from social cutdowns to longform brand films and national TVCs. We’re not a traditional Soho facility. We don’t split hairs over offline vs online if all you want is a finished film. We just get stuck in and deliver.

Because we’re also a full-service video production company in London, we understand every part of the process, from shoot realities to final delivery. That means no hand-holding, no guesswork, just editing that fits the format, hits the brief, and gets the job done.

What We Do

We edit branded content, commercials, documentaries, social campaigns and more. Whether you’re handing us a folder of rushes or looping us in partway through a project, we cut with purpose, structure, and story sense.

Our video editing services sit inside a wider post-production setup, meaning we can plug straight into grading, sound, or full picture delivery when needed, or just deliver sharp, stand-alone edits if that’s all you’re after.

Video Editing Services

Branded & Campaign Editing

We cut brand films, campaign content, product videos and social-first stories, short or long, scripted or reactive. Whether you’re selling an idea or showing impact, we find the right pacing, tone and structure to make it land. Sharp edits, real story flow, and no fluff.

Multi-Format & Platform Versioning

We’ll build your hero cut, then re-version it for wherever it needs to go: from 16:9 to 9:16, square, 4:5 and custom platform specs. Whether you’re outputting for YouTube, TikTok, broadcast or digital signage, we keep the quality and consistency intact.

Captioning, Supers & Compliance

We add open captions, transcription layers, subtitles, supers, legal lines, and all the finishing touches that make your film ready for comms, campaign, or commercial use, with no last-minute scrambles.

Recent Work: FatFace Summer TVC

Review & Feedback Process

All edits are delivered through Frame.io, Vimeo or your preferred platform, with timecoded feedback tools, clear versioning, and fast turnaround on revisions. We keep the process smooth, responsive, and easy to track.

Full Editorial Management

From the first assembly to the final deliverable, we run the editorial so you don’t have to. That means ingesting rushes, organising media, cutting multiple drafts, taking on feedback, and prepping final exports, without the need to micromanage.

Handover & Delivery

Final exports are delivered in your required formats, broadcast-ready, social-optimised, subtitle-burned, ProRes, H.264, or XMLs for further post. We can also pass clean timelines to in-house or external finishers if needed.


FatFace: Multi-Season Campaigns

TVCs, look books, micro-docs, all cut in line with the brands look and feel.
From spring farm shoots to Canary Island lifestyle films, we’ve edited seven national campaigns for FatFace. Each campaign came with its own format stack: hero films, cutdowns, 9:16s, and BTS reels. We handled full ingest, assembly, narrative editing, versioning, and delivery.

Recent Work: FatFace x Mothershoppers

Recent Work: KYN – Hero Film

KYN London: Brand Documentary Series

Editing from interviews, ambient footage, and a quality colour grade.
We edited a full suite of 7 films for KYN, a London care brand breaking the mould. This included their main brand film and six ‘Meet the Makers’ micro-docs, all built from unscripted interviews and observational rushes. We led on rough cut structure, narrative shaping, pacing, and versioning for social, web and internal use.

Domino’s: Glastonbury Viral PR Edit

Edited, graded, and delivered in 24 hours across 3 formats.
When Domino’s dropped a jetpack stunt at Glastonbury, we handled the rapid post. Our team ingested multicam and drone footage on location, edited three final versions (16:9, 1:1, 9:16), layered motion GFX, added press-ready subtitles, and exported final ProRes and H.264s — all within a single day.

How We Work

We flex to fit your project, whether you’re dropping us in midstream or need full editorial management from ingest to delivery.

We use Frame.io or Vimeo for timecoded review, feedback, and approvals, no more endless “final_final_v6.mp4” confusion.

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.

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

Video Editing FAQs

Have a question that’s not here?

Get in touch with the from below and we will be in touch ASAP.

Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.

What does a video editor actually do?

A video editor takes raw footage, interviews, b-roll, motion graphics, audio, etc., and assembles it into a cohesive, polished final product. This includes cutting footage, colour balancing, audio syncing, adding graphics and subtitles, and delivering content in the correct formats for web, broadcast, or social.

What types of videos can you edit?

We edit a wide range of formats, including:

  • Product explainers & case study films
  • Brand films
  • TV commercials (TVCs)
  • Social media campaigns
  • Corporate videos
  • Documentary shorts & longform
  • Internal comms & training films

Do you offer video editing in-house or remotely?

Both. Our core editorial team is based in London and across the UK, some in-house, some remote. We also offer studio-based sessions (by arrangement) at partnered editing suites for clients who prefer to sit in.

Can I sit in on the edit?

Yes. While most clients work with us remotely (via Frame.io or Vimeo), we can book client-ready edit suites in London when in-person collaboration is preferred.

How much does professional video editing cost?

Pricing depends on the scope, duration, and complexity of the project. As a guide:

  • Full-service projects (edit + sound + grade + versioning) typically start at £2,000–£3,000+ VAT
  • We’re happy to provide a fixed quote or day rate depending on what’s needed.
  • Standard editing starts from £750 per day

How long does video editing take?

Turnaround varies based on project scope. A short social cut might take 1–2 days. A branded film or TVC may take 5–10+ days including review and versioning. We’ll always align to your timeline and flag any dependencies.

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver in whatever format you need:

  • XML/AAF project handoffs for internal finishing
  • ProRes (422, HQ, LT, etc.)
  • H.264 / MP4 for web
  • Broadcast-compliant files (e.g. for Clearcast or DPP)
  • Platform-specific versions: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, digital signage

How do you manage feedback and revisions?

All edits are shared via Frame.io, Vimeo, or your preferred review tool, with timecoded commenting, tracked versions, and quick turnaround on revisions. You’ll always know what version you’re looking at and what’s changed.

What editing software do you use?

We primarily edit in Adobe Premiere Pro, with motion graphics in After Effects, colour in DaVinci Resolve, and sound mixing in Pro Tools. We’re also fluent in multi-cam, proxy workflows, Frame.io integration, and dynamic link setups.

Can you edit from our script or paper edit?

Yes, we can edit from a beat sheet, transcript, paper edit, or rough structure. We’re also happy to help shape the narrative and pull selects from raw rushes if you’re starting fresh.

Can you handle multiple formats and aspect ratios?

Absolutely. We version all final films to whatever formats you need, from 16:9 and 9:16 to square, 4:5, and custom social platform specs. We also create multi-language versions, subtitle-ready cuts, and accessibility formats if required.

Yes. We offer:

  • Subtitle-ready exports for funders or international delivery
  • We also work with verified translators for multi-language films.
