Video Editing


For video editing John uses Adobe Premiere Pro software. John started using this software in 2002 and his skills have developed over 13 years. This software has become one of the industry leading pieces of editing software in both mainstream production environments and also education. John uses the tools within this software suite to manage digital resources, edit and produce video content.


No job is too big or small, from home videos, wedding videos up to corporate productions.


Video Samples


Here are two examples of videos John filmed and edited for Nottinghamshire County Council. John also provided the voiceover for these video samples. Other examples are available on request.


















Audio Editing


For audio production and editing John uses Cubase 8. Audio production on computers was established a lot earlier than video because it's less demanding on computer processors, so John has been using Cubase since it was first established on Atari ST computers in the 1990's. John uses this pioneering piece of software to produce and edit podcasts, audio clips for news media websites and as a professional musician John has also used it for producing music for both himself and other musicians.


Voice-Over Recording


As well as editing clients audio productions John can also provide voice-overs for your productions. John has performed voice overs for productions made for local authorities and local universities. John uses his studio quality digital recording equipment (condensor microphones, digital recorder etc.) which will produce a great sounding voice-over recording to accompany and compliment your content.


Graphics, Diagrams and Images


Having worked in the field of digital media production over the years John also developed skills using graphics editing software such as Photoshop and Corel Draw. Using these design software packages John can recreate diagrams and graphics to enhance video content. It's also possible for graphics to be animated within a video production so they are more dynamic on the screen.


John will also help with the sourcing of royalty free, and paid for image sources from services such as iStock and Shutterstock.
