Shows that publish on a schedule
A podcast or channel where the next recording arrives before the last one is out. Consistency across episodes matters more than any single edit being clever.

Long form editing that keeps a viewer oriented past the ten-minute mark
A long recording rarely loses people because it is long. It loses them when they stop knowing where they are in it. We cut for structure first: what the sections are, where they change, and what tells the viewer a new one has started.
Structure before polish
Attention decays across a long runtime, and it decays fastest when the viewer cannot tell whether the current section is going anywhere. Marking structure fixes more of that than tightening pacing does: a visible section change, a title where a new idea starts, a summary beat before the next one. On the Taurex Academy course we used motion for exactly that job, so a learner always knew where they were inside the module. The other half is what gets removed. Restarts, tangents that resolve nowhere, the two minutes of setup before the interesting answer. Cutting those is easy. Deciding which tangent is quietly the best part of the recording is the judgement the edit is being paid for.

Clean pacing, structure, and platform-ready delivery
Built for ongoing publishing and repeat content workflows
What we edit
Podcast and interview edits
Single or multi-camera, cut to the moment the answer starts rather than the moment the question ends.
Course and module edits
Recorded teaching cut into followable sections, with one treatment held across the series so later modules stay in system.
Explanatory motion layers
Charts, diagrams and callouts built over presenter footage where the camera cannot show what is being described.
Talking-head cleanup
Restarts, filler and dead air removed so a stop-start take reads as one continuous thought.
On-screen signposting
Chapter titles, section markers and lower thirds that tell a viewer where they are without the presenter having to say it.
Audio and picture cleanup
Levels, noise, sync and colour brought to one baseline across the full runtime rather than patched shot by shot.
Screen recording integration
Demos and captured screens cut in at readable size, scaled to the part being discussed instead of pasted in whole.
Clips pulled from the same edit
The short-form moments spotted during the cut, delivered alongside the full episode while they are still fresh.
How we handle long form editing
Step 1: Send the recording
Camera files, screen recordings, separate audio and any run sheet or script. We work from what was recorded; nothing gets reshot to start.
Step 2: Structure pass first
We watch it through and come back with a running order: what stays, what goes, where the sections break. Settling that before the fine cut is what prevents a re-edit later, because moving a section once the graphics are in is expensive.
Step 3: Assembly and cleanup
The cut is built to the agreed structure, then audio, colour and pacing are levelled across the whole runtime rather than fixed in isolated patches.
Step 4: Graphics and signposting
Titles, chapter markers, lower thirds and any explanatory motion the narration needs. On a series, the first episode locks the treatment and the rest are cut to it.
Step 5: Delivery and offcuts
Master in your publishing spec, captions where the placement needs them, and the clip-worthy moments flagged during the edit.
Who we work best with
Course and education businesses
You recorded the teaching. What it needs is the layer that makes a long module followable, applied the same way across every module in the series.
Companies sitting on recorded sessions
Webinars, panels, internal recordings and founder interviews that were captured properly and then never edited into anything.
Who we are not the right fit for: projects that need us to run or direct the recording, and single long videos with no series behind them, where one episode has to carry the whole setup cost. We also do not write the content; we cut what was said.
What drives scope on a long form edit
Every quote comes down to the same handful of variables:
Raw runtime against finished runtime
Three hours cut to forty minutes is more work than three hours cut to two and a half. The reduction is where the judgement goes.
Angles and sources
One locked camera is a different edit from four angles plus a screen recording plus a separate audio track that needs syncing.
Graphics load
Titles and lower thirds are routine. Explanatory motion built for concepts the footage cannot show is a design job living inside the edit.
Footage condition
Clean audio and consistent lighting cut fast. Clipped audio, mixed colour temperature and drifting sync all add repair before editing starts.
Series or one-off
A series justifies building a treatment once and reusing it. A standalone piece carries that setup on its own.
Additional deliverables
Short-form clips, an audio-only version and caption files are each separate deliverables pulled from the same edit.
We quote from raw runtime, source count, graphics load and the final output list agreed at briefing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a long-form edit?
Cleanup of filler, pauses, and retakes is standard. Chapter markers, timestamps, lower thirds, titles, and end cards can also sit inside the edit when they are in scope. Thumbnail design, channel art, and publishing strategy are separate work and should be raised at briefing.
Can you handle multi-camera and separate audio tracks?
Yes. Send every angle and every microphone track rather than the camera's mixed audio, because separate tracks let us fix one speaker without touching the other. We sync from a shared reference in the recording, so any common sound at the top of the take helps.
Can you also cut short-form clips from the same recording?
Yes, and it is worth deciding before we start rather than after delivery. Knowing clips are coming changes what gets flagged during the main edit, so standalone moments are marked while we are already inside the footage instead of being hunted down in a second pass.
What determines the schedule for a long-form edit?
Runtime, how many cameras there are, how much cleanup the raw material needs, and how much graphics work sits on top. Review time is usually the largest variable rather than editing time. We commit to a specific schedule at briefing once scope is set.
