Yes, SHMONG TV provides editing-only services for clients who have existing footage filmed by other videographers, internal teams, or multiple sources. Our editing process begins with file organization and backup ensuring no content loss, technical assessment of footage quality and format compatibility, creating proxy files for efficient editing workflow if needed, storyline development based on client objectives and available content, and collaborative revision process incorporating your feedback. We work with footage from any professional camera system, smartphone videos, screen recordings, drone footage, and archival material. This flexibility allows clients to leverage our post-production expertise regardless of filming source, transforming raw footage into polished professional videos through expert editing, color grading, audio enhancement, and thoughtful narrative structuring.

SHMONG TV editors are proficient across industry-standard editing platforms selected based on project requirements and workflow efficiency. Our primary tools include Adobe Premiere Pro for versatile timeline editing and Adobe Creative Cloud integration, DaVinci Resolve for professional color grading and high-end finishing, Final Cut Pro for efficient editing on macOS systems, Adobe After Effects for motion graphics and visual effects, Audition for advanced audio post-production, and Cinema 4D for 3D animation and title design.

All projects are delivered in standard formats ensuring compatibility and future editability regardless of software platform used for production.

Video editing timelines vary based on project complexity, footage volume, and deliverable requirements. Typical turnaround includes 3-5 business days for simple edits under 5 minutes with minimal effects, 5-7 business days for standard corporate videos or event recaps with color grading and graphics, 1-2 weeks for complex projects requiring extensive motion graphics or visual effects, and 2-3 weeks for long-form content like wedding films or documentary-style productions. SHMONG TV offers expedited editing with 24-48 hour turnaround for urgent projects. Factors affecting timeline include footage quantity requiring review, revision rounds needed for client approval, complexity of color grading and audio mixing required, custom graphics and animation development, and file delivery method and format specifications. We provide realistic timeline estimates during project scoping, maintaining clear communication throughout editing to meet your deadlines.

Professional color grading is a cornerstone of SHMONG TV's editing services, transforming flat footage into cinematic visual experiences. Our colorists work in DaVinci Resolve, the industry-standard color grading platform, performing technical color correction balancing exposure, white balance, and contrast across all footage, creative color grading establishing mood and aesthetic through LUT application and custom looks, skin tone optimization ensuring flattering and consistent complexions, shot matching creating visual continuity across cameras and lighting conditions, HDR grading for high dynamic range delivery, and platform-specific color space conversion for web, broadcast, or cinema distribution. We develop signature color palettes tailored to brand identity, genre conventions, or artistic vision, whether requiring vibrant saturated aesthetics, desaturated moody tones, warm cinematic looks, or clean corporate styling. Professional color grading elevates production value significantly, distinguishing professional videos from amateur content.

SHMONG TV's motion graphics services add polish and professionalism to video productions through animated elements that enhance storytelling and information delivery. Our capabilities include custom title sequences establishing brand identity and production tone, lower thirds displaying names, titles, and contextual information, animated logos and brand elements reinforcing visual identity, infographic animations explaining data and statistics visually, kinetic typography creating dynamic text-based storytelling, transition effects adding visual interest between scenes, call-to-action graphics with animated buttons and end screens, social media graphics optimized for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and 3D animation for product visualization or conceptual illustration. All motion graphics are designed in your brand colors and style guidelines, created in After Effects and rendered at appropriate resolution for final delivery platform. Strategic motion graphics integration transforms basic videos into engaging professional content commanding audience attention.

Professional audio post-production is essential for video quality, and SHMONG TV provides comprehensive audio editing and mixing services. Our audio workflow includes dialogue cleaning removing background noise, clicks, and unwanted sounds, volume normalization ensuring consistent audio levels throughout video, EQ and compression enhancing voice clarity and presence, music integration with licensed tracks mixed appropriately under dialogue, sound effects library access for enhancing visual storytelling, multi-track mixing balancing dialogue, music, and ambient sound, stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixing for broadcast or cinema delivery, and loudness standards compliance (LUFS) for platform specifications including YouTube, broadcast television, and streaming services. Poor audio quality undermines even exceptional visual content, while professional audio treatment creates immersive viewing experiences that hold audience attention. Our audio engineers ensure every video delivers broadcast-quality sound enhancing rather than distracting from your message.

SHMONG TV specializes in multi-platform video optimization ensuring content performs optimally across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Our optimization includes aspect ratio reformatting (16:9 horizontal, 1:1 square, 9:16 vertical) maximizing screen real estate on each platform, duration editing adapting content to platform preferences (15-60 seconds for TikTok, 3-10 minutes for YouTube, 2-3 minutes for LinkedIn), caption placement ensuring text remains visible within safe zones, compression settings balancing quality and file size for fast loading and smooth playback, thumbnail creation optimized for click-through rates, platform-specific metadata including hashtags and descriptions, and accessibility features like burned-in captions for sound-off viewing. This multi-platform approach maximizes content ROI by repurposing single shoots into numerous platform-optimized deliverables, expanding audience reach and engagement across diverse social media ecosystems.

SHMONG TV's video editing workflow includes structured revision rounds ensuring client satisfaction while maintaining efficient production timelines. Standard projects include first rough cut presenting overall structure, pacing, and content selection for feedback, second refined cut incorporating client notes on timing, content, and specific changes, and final delivery addressing remaining polish items and technical specifications. Most projects achieve client approval within 2-3 revision rounds. Complex projects may require additional iterations for motion graphics refinement or extensive content restructuring. We encourage consolidated feedback during each review phase rather than incremental changes, maximizing efficiency. Revision requests should address creative direction, content selection, pacing, and major structural elements early in the process, with final rounds focused on minor adjustments and polish. This structured approach balances creative flexibility with production efficiency, delivering videos that meet or exceed expectations while respecting project timelines and budgets.

SHMONG TV delivers videos in formats optimized for your distribution channels and archival needs. Standard deliverables include 4K UHD (3840x2160) master files for future-proofing and high-quality archival, 1080p Full HD for web, social media, and most broadcast applications, 720p HD for bandwidth-conscious web delivery, vertical formats (1080x1920) for mobile-first social platforms, square formats (1080x1080) for Instagram feed optimization, and custom resolutions for specific platform or display requirements. File formats include MP4 H.264 for universal compatibility and efficient compression, ProRes or DNxHD for broadcast and editing workflows, and uncompressed formats for maximum quality preservation. All exports are optimized with appropriate bitrates, frame rates (24fps cinematic, 30fps standard, 60fps high-motion), and color space settings ensuring videos display correctly across devices and platforms. We provide guidance on optimal format selection based on your primary distribution channels and technical requirements.
