Content

You're recording video but the raw footage sits on a drive because nobody has time to edit it. Unedited video doesn't get published. Unpublished video doesn't build your brand. We turn your raw clips into polished content optimized for every platform.

Sound Familiar?

Your Raw Footage Sits On A Drive And Never Gets Published.

  • You recorded ten hours of video content last quarter and published two because editing takes too long.
  • Your videos don't have captions, so 80% of mobile viewers scroll past without ever hearing your message.
  • You post the same long-form video on every platform instead of creating platform-specific cuts and formats.
  • Editing falls to whoever has the most free time, so quality and style vary wildly from video to video.

That's exactly what professional video editing fixes.

The Sidekick Approach

How We Help

Video Coming Soon

Video editing takes your raw footage and turns it into polished, platform-ready content. We handle cutting, pacing, captions, lower thirds, graphics, music, color correction, and formatting for every platform where your video lives: YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, your website, and email.

Sidekick's editing process is built for consistency and efficiency. We learn your brand style, create templates and graphic elements, and build an editing workflow that produces consistent results no matter how much footage you send. One long-form recording becomes a YouTube video, three LinkedIn clips, five short-form pieces, and a highlight reel.

Your humans record. We edit. Your audience watches. It's that simple when the editing process is systematized and reliable.

Platform-Specific Cuts

One recording becomes multiple videos optimized for YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and your website.

Brand-Consistent Style

Templates, graphics, and color grading ensure every video looks and feels like your brand.

Captions On Everything

Every video gets burned-in captions because most viewers watch without sound.

Fast Turnaround

Systematized editing means you get polished videos back quickly, not weeks after recording.

Is This Right For You?

Is Video Editing Right For You?

This Is For You If...

  • You're recording video but it sits unedited because your team doesn't have time.
  • Your videos don't have captions, graphics, or platform-specific formatting.
  • You post the same video everywhere instead of creating cuts for each platform.
  • Video quality is inconsistent because editing is done ad hoc by whoever is available.
  • You want to turn one recording session into multiple pieces of content.

This Isn't For You If...

  • You need video production (filming, directing, lighting). We handle post-production editing, not production.
  • You only need one video edited per quarter. A freelance editor may be more cost-effective.
  • You need animated explainer videos or motion graphics from scratch. We edit recorded footage.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked About Video Editing.

What types of video do you edit?+
We edit podcast videos, talking head content, interview recordings, webinar replays, social media clips, and event footage. If you have raw footage, we can edit it.
How fast is the turnaround?+
Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days per batch of footage. Rush turnaround is available for time-sensitive content. Turnaround depends on footage volume and retainer level.
How much does video editing cost?+
Monthly retainers depend on video volume and complexity. We scope everything on a free strategy call based on how much footage you produce and which platforms you need.
How do we send you the raw footage?+
We set up a shared cloud drive (Google Drive, Dropbox, or your preferred platform) where you upload raw footage. We pull from there and deliver finished files back to the same location.
Can you repurpose our existing video library?+
Yes. If you have older footage that was never fully edited or repurposed, we can cut new clips, add captions, and format them for current platforms.
