Film Editor Services

Here is how this works in practice. We supply editors for Dutch shoots across features, drama series, documentaries and commercials. Our editors work in cutting rooms in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, handling assembly, fine cut, picture lock and the handover to colour and sound. They are fluent in the standard toolsets. Avid, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve — and manage media pipelines from camera through conform to delivery for TV networks and streaming sites. For projects claiming the Netherlands Film Fund's 35% cash rebates, editing in the Netherlands keeps qualifying post spend on-shore.

Because Dutch post crews are near-universally English-speaking, a global director or producer can sit in the edit and shape the cut directly. We match the editor to your genre and schedule. Integrate them with the director from the first dailies.

Here is the short of it. The Netherlands has a deep editing culture, strongest of all in documentary. IDFA in Amsterdam is the world's largest documentary festival. The Dutch documentary line runs back to Joris Ivens and Bert Haanstra, whose 'Glass' won the Best Documentary Short Oscar — a heritage built on careful, rhythm-driven cutting. On the fiction side, the country's three Best Foreign Language Film Oscars and Verhoeven's global features set a high standard for narrative editing. The Netherlands Film Academy trains editors as a distinct discipline.

Here is what we have to work with. The post houses of Amsterdam serve both festival features bound for IFFR and global commercial work. We draw on that pool to find an editor whose sensibility — whether observational, dramatic or fast-cut commercial — matches the demands of your production.
