Video editing, color grading and post-production in Mérida
Editing, color grading, sound mix, subtitles and deliverables for films, commercials and social content, including footage shot by other crews.
Good post-production is where a shoot becomes a film. We edit, grade and finish projects in Mérida, whether we filmed them or you bring footage from another crew. We work with camera-original RAW and log files from ARRI, Sony, RED, Canon and Blackmagic and grade in a calibrated, color-managed workflow.
We also handle sound design and mixing, music licensing, subtitles, and the technical deliverables broadcasters and platforms ask for.
Post-production is everything that happens after filming: organizing and backing up media, editing the story, color correction and grading, sound design and mixing, music, graphics and titles, subtitles, and the final export of every version the project needs. Good post-production can rescue an average shoot and make a good one look and sound like a film.
We offer post-production in Mérida for projects we film and for footage shot by other crews, which is useful for agencies, producers and filmmakers in the Southeast of Mexico who would otherwise send work to Mexico City. Our workflow handles RAW and log footage from ARRI, Sony, RED, Canon, Blackmagic and DJI cameras, with color-managed grading so images look consistent on phones, computers, TVs and projectors.
A typical project moves from an assembly to a rough cut, a fine cut and picture lock, then color grading and sound mix, with review links and time-coded comments at each stage. Short social or corporate edits are often finished in a few days, while commercials, documentaries and short films take several weeks. Pricing is by project or by editing day, depending on the length, the amount of footage, the grade, sound work and deliverables.
