ABOUT / FREELANCE EDITOR / STUTTGART

The quiet one in the edit suite.

I’m Florian — a freelance film and video editor in Stuttgart – available worldwide. For twelve years I’ve sat in the dark with other people’s footage and a brief, and handed back something with a pulse. Directors trust me with the cut; agencies trust me with the deadline.

Profile

Ten years turning rushes into results.

I started cutting in-house for a Stuttgart production house and went freelance to work across more brands, formats and stories. Since then I’ve delivered hundreds of commercials, brand films, music videos and social campaigns.

My job isn’t just to assemble footage — it’s to find the story inside it, set a pace that respects the viewer’s attention, and hand back a film that does its job. I work fast, communicate clearly, and treat every deadline as non-negotiable.

How I work

From rushes to final master

01

Brief & footage review

We align on goals, references and deliverables. I go through every clip and flag the gold.

02

Assembly & selects

I build a structured assembly from the strongest takes — the skeleton of the film.

03

Story & rhythm

The real edit: shaping pace, tension and flow until every second earns its place.

04

Polish, sound & colour

Sound design, music sync, titles and a grade-ready (or fully graded) picture.

05

Delivery & versions

Final master plus every cutdown, ratio and platform version you need.
