00:11:30:00About

Trained on 200+ hours of raw footage. Still watches every frame twice.

I’m Kai Marsh, a video editor & colorist based in Los Angeles, CA — Remote worldwide. I work directly with directors, labels and brands to take a card full of footage to a cut that’s ready to ship — usually across all four tracks below, sometimes handing color or sound off to a specialist when the project calls for it.

Video
Narrative & pacing
Assembling raw footage into a shape that earns every cut — three-act structure, montage, or a single unbroken take.
Audio
Sound design & mix
Dialogue cleanup, foley layering, and a final mix that plays back consistently from a phone speaker to a cinema.
Color
Grading & finishing
Building a consistent LUT-driven look across cameras, then hand-grading the shots that need to carry the emotion.
FX
Motion graphics & VFX
Titles, screen comps, tracking and cleanup — enough to support the story without ever announcing itself.
00:18:45:00How a project runs

The same five stages, every time.

00:00:00:00
Ingest

Footage, audio and assets are organized, proxied and backed up before a single cut is made.

00:04:12:00
Assemble

A rough cut finds the spine of the story — pacing first, polish later.

00:11:30:00
Refine

Trims, transitions and structure tighten around client and director feedback.

00:18:45:00
Color & Sound

Grading and mix pass turns a locked cut into something that feels finished.

00:24:00:00
Deliver

Exports for every platform, captioned and specced to how it'll actually be watched.

00:21:10:00Client notes

Notes from the review room.

“Kai turned four hours of raw concert footage into something that felt like a film. The pacing alone got us the playlist add.”

Reya Lin — A&R, Atlas Records

“Fastest turnaround we've had and the color grade made our product look twice the budget.”

Marcus Odell — Founder, Reef Apparel

“Gave notes on a Friday, had a client-ready cut Monday morning. Communication is as good as the edit.”

Priya Nathan — Producer, Northline Studios

“The sound design on our short carried scenes that the picture alone couldn't.”

Devon Cole — Director, Static Bloom
