Freelance Video Editor in Montreal
I am a freelance video editor based in Montreal, specializing in story-driven branded films and documentaries. I work with directors, agencies, and production companies across Montreal, Toronto, and Canada to turn raw footage into films that actually connect.
In a world where images flash by at dizzying speed and doom scrolling has become a daily reflex, capturing attention is no longer enough. What creates a lasting connection between a brand and its audience is the story. The brands that stand out today aren't the ones producing the most content. They are the ones with the courage to say something true, meaningful, and human.
Editing That Works for Your Brand
A professional video editor doesn't just assemble images. They build the emotional argument of your brand. Every cut, every transition, every music choice contributes to a coherent experience that speaks to your audience.
As a freelance editor, I offer video editing and post-production services for:
- Story-driven branded films and brand documentaries
- Short and feature-length documentaries
- Corporate films, commercials, and high-impact branded content
- Post-production support for agencies and production companies
My Approach as a Documentary and Branded Content Editor
Every project starts with a simple question: what is the story you want to tell? Before touching the timeline, I immerse myself in the material, identify the key moments, and build a narrative structure that serves both the client's objectives and the emotional truth of the subject.
I work primarily in DaVinci Resolve, with workflows adapted to remote collaboration with clients outside Montreal. That storyteller's instinct, knowing what to cut and what to protect, is what distinguishes a film that connects from one that goes unnoticed.
Branded Films, Documentaries, and Corporate Video Editing
My work spans projects where pacing, precision, and emotional truth make all the difference: brand documentaries that build trust, corporate films that humanize an organization, and short-form documentaries that travel beyond the brief.
Whether you are a brand looking to build a deeper connection through authentic storytelling, or a production company in need of a documentary editor based in Montreal, Toronto, or anywhere across Canada, my approach stays the same: find the core, cut everything else.
Selected Clients and Recognition
With over 7 years of experience in post-production, I spent several years as an in-house editor at Sept24, where I edited branded content and corporate films for leading Canadian brands including Danone, Hydro-Québec, Metro, SAAQ, Boralex, and Desjardins.
I now work as a freelance editor, focusing on the projects that matter most to me: documentaries and story-driven branded films. I am currently editing my first feature-length documentary about ILL-Abilities, an international breaking crew of dancers with disabilities who are reshaping the global breaking scene.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a video editor do? A video editor shapes raw footage into a finished film, selecting takes, structuring scenes, pacing the cut, and integrating sound, music, and color to deliver a story that lands with its audience.
Do you work on commercials or only on brand films? I work on both, though my focus is on story-driven brand films and documentaries where editorial judgment shapes the final cut. I also edit commercials, corporate films, and short-form branded content, especially when they are part of a larger campaign alongside a brand documentary. If you are still deciding which format your project needs, this breakdown of brand film vs. commercial walks through when each one fits.
How much does video editing cost in Montreal? Every project is priced individually based on its scope, complexity, and the impact the final film needs to have. A national campaign for a major brand and an independent documentary carry very different stakes, timelines, and deliverables. If you are planning a brand documentary specifically, this breakdown of brand documentary cost in Canada walks through realistic budget ranges and what drives the final number. For a tailored proposal on your own project, send me a brief description and I will put one together. No commitment, no pressure, just an honest conversation.
Do you work remotely with clients outside Montreal? Yes. I regularly collaborate with agencies and production companies in Toronto and across Canada through remote workflows using Frame.io, secure file transfer, and video review sessions.
What editing software do you use? I'm currently working with DaVinci Resolve but I also feel comfortable using Premiere Pro.
How long does a typical edit take? A short branded film usually takes two to four weeks from first cut to final delivery, depending on revision rounds and project complexity.
