I have already collected the on-camera interviews, sourced the relevant archival clips, and prepared a set of graphics and charts that explain the data behind this investigative report. Now I need a versatile video editor to weave all of those elements into a cohesive news package that feels authoritative and keeps viewers engaged from the opening tease to the closing stand-up. The raw material, script outline, and time-coded notes are ready for hand-off. Your role is to: • Trim and sequence the interview sound-bites so the narrative flows logically • Blend in the archival footage, matching colour and audio levels for a seamless look • Drop in the prepared graphics/charts at the exact cue points, adding simple motion if it helps clarity • Apply lower-third identifiers, news-style transitions, and light sound design that supports the story without overpowering it • Deliver a clean master file (ProRes or similar) plus a web-ready H.264 export with hard-coded captions Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve—all fine with me as long as you keep project files organised for future revisions. Please share links to a couple of investigative or documentary edits you have completed, along with your estimated turnaround. If you can begin this week, let’s talk details right away.

You already have everything needed for a strong investigative piece the difference now is how clearly the story comes through once it’s edited. From what you’ve described, everything is ready… it just needs to be shaped into something that feels tight, credible, and easy to follow from start to finish. That’s the layer I focus on. – structuring interview bites so the narrative flows naturally (not stitched together) – blending archival footage so it feels like part of the story, not inserted – placing graphics exactly where they clarify, not interrupt – keeping pacing controlled so it feels authoritative, not rushed or dragging – clean lower-thirds, subtle sound design, and consistent tone throughout The goal is simple: a piece that holds attention while still feeling like a proper, professional news package. If your script and notes are already time-coded, I can step in and start shaping the first cut immediately. Send over the footage bundle. I’ll build a clean opening segment so you can see how the full piece will come together.
