About This Service

Assignment Desk provides professional Video Editors who transform raw footage into polished, broadcast-ready deliverables. Our editors handle everything from rough assembly cuts to final color grading, audio mixing, graphics integration, and format delivery. They can work on-site for same-day edits and live-to-tape shows, or remotely for post-production turnaround on any timeline.

Our Video Editors are proficient in industry-standard software including Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, and After Effects. They bring their own high-performance editing systems for on-site work, complete with fast storage, color-calibrated monitors, and all necessary software licenses. For remote post-production, they work within your preferred NLE and storage ecosystem.

Whether you need a same-day highlight reel cut on location, a multi-week documentary edit, or ongoing content production support, Assignment Desk editors deliver professional results under deadline pressure. All editors are W2 employees available in all 24 markets with full liability coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your editors work on-site or remotely?

Both. For same-day edits and live events, our editors work on-site with portable editing systems. For post-production projects, they can work remotely within your preferred workflow — accessing footage through cloud storage, shared drives, or shipped media. The approach depends on your production's needs and timeline.

What editing software do your editors use?

Our editors are proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, and Adobe After Effects. They can work within your preferred NLE and conform to your post-production pipeline. If you have a specific software or codec requirement, specify it when booking.

Can your editors deliver same-day edits on location?

Yes. Same-day edits are one of our most popular editor bookings. The editor works on-site, ingesting footage in near real-time and assembling a polished cut that is ready for review or distribution by the end of the shoot day. This is common for events, conferences, and sports productions.

Do editors provide color grading and audio mixing?

Yes. Our editors handle the full post-production pipeline including rough cuts, fine cuts, color correction and grading (using DaVinci Resolve), audio mixing and sweetening, graphics integration, and final format delivery. For projects requiring specialized colorists or audio engineers, we can coordinate additional specialists.

How do I get footage to the editor for remote post-production?

Assignment Desk editors can receive footage via cloud platforms (Frame.io, Google Drive, Dropbox, AWS S3), physical drive shipment, or your organization's internal storage systems. We work within your preferred file transfer workflow to ensure secure, efficient media delivery.
