From loose files to a clear finished purpose

Find the strongest material. Finish it for the channel.

Good footage is not automatically a useful final video, and a large photo folder is not automatically a campaign library. Editing gives the source material a clear order, pace, visual finish, and set of deliverable versions.

Find the usable storyReview the source, select the strongest material, and shape it around the audience and goal.
Create a consistent finishRefine sequence, pacing, color, crops, text, and visual continuity as the project requires.
Export for real usePrepare the agreed lengths, orientations, and file formats for web, social, ads, presentations, or archives.

Choose the closest outcome

Choose what the existing media needs to become.

These are planning paths, not fixed packages. Source quality, file volume, transfer, edit complexity, length, revisions, graphics, versions, formats, deadline, and intended use are reviewed before the scope is finalized.

Make supplied material usable

Edit Existing Footage

Best when the goal isREVIEW + FINISH

Best when the source files are already captured but still need selection, structure, polish, and a clear final output.

Typical scope can include

  • Sample and source-material review
  • Selection and sequencing of usable footage
  • Pacing, color, and clean transitions as scoped
  • Final export for the agreed primary use
Create shorter useful versions

Short-Form Cutdowns

Best when the goal isONE SOURCE, MORE USES

Best when a longer edit or media library needs concise versions for social, web, ads, or campaign updates.

Typical scope can include

  • Review of the main source or existing edit
  • Shorter selections around key messages
  • Orientation or length variations when scoped
  • Delivery for the agreed social, web, ad, or presentation channels
Shape a complete narrative

Full Story Edit

Best when the goal isFROM FILES TO FINAL

Best when mixed footage, photos, and brand material need to become a polished promo, recap, website story, or project film.

Typical scope can include

  • Source, audience, structure, and intended-use review
  • Edit built from usable supplied footage and photos
  • Basic titles, brand assets, or multiple versions when scoped
  • Organized final delivery for the agreed channels

Final scope: Final scope depends on source quality, file volume, media rights, transfer, edit complexity, length, graphics, revision needs, versions, turnaround, formats, and intended use.

Editing directions built around the final channel

A website hero, short clip, and project recap should not be the same edit.

The destination determines the pacing, framing, length, hierarchy, and export. Source material is reviewed first so the recommendation reflects what can actually be built from it.

Where this service fits best

Editing built around the source you have and the file you need.

The first step is understanding the footage, photos, rights, audience, channel, and deadline. That keeps the edit grounded in what the source can support.

Existing drone footage

Turn captured clips into a cleaner final piece.

Useful when the footage is usable but still needs selection, sequence, pacing, color, titles, versions, or final exports.

Mixed photo and video libraries

Build one clear story from scattered source files.

Combine usable footage, photography, brand assets, and supplied text into a website, campaign, recap, or presentation edit.

New capture when needed

Fill a specific Wisconsin media gap separately.

If the existing source cannot support the goal, new aerial or ground coverage can be discussed as a separate scoped capture.

Working with files from outside Green Bay?Editing can often begin with transferred source files and a clear brief. If new Wisconsin capture is needed, the location, travel, access, airspace, timing, and flight conditions are scoped separately.

A source-first editing workflow

Review what exists before promising the finished cut.

Start with a representative sample, the intended audience, target channel, approximate length, and deadline. The recommendation becomes specific after the source quality and volume are reviewed.

01

Send a sample and the goal

Share representative source files, target audience, channel, approximate length, deadline, and useful references.

02

Review usability and scope

Source quality, volume, rights, transfer, story potential, edit complexity, graphics, and versions are assessed.

03

Build and refine the edit

Usable footage and photos are selected, sequenced, paced, colored, and finished around the agreed direction.

04

Deliver the final versions

Exports arrive prepared for the agreed website, social, ad, presentation, recap, campaign, or archive use.

Start with the source files

Tell us what you have and what the finished media needs to become.

Share a representative sample, approximate file volume, target channel, length, deadline, and any brand assets or references. Confirm that you have the right to supply the media for editing.

A sentence or two is perfect: service type, location, timeline, or how you want to use the media.

Video & photo editing questions

Clear answers before the source review.

Source quality, rights, file volume, story goal, versions, graphics, revisions, and formats are easier to solve before editing begins.

Can you edit existing drone footage?

In some cases, yes. If the existing footage is usable, properly captured, and supplied with the necessary rights, Above Wisconsin may be able to shape it into a cleaner final video after reviewing a representative sample.

Can you create short clips for social media?

Yes. Usable video can be edited into short-form clips for reels, stories, ads, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and website use, depending on the source and agreed scope.

Do you capture new drone video too?

Yes, when new Wisconsin capture is needed. It is scoped separately around the location, access, airspace, timing, flight conditions, and what the final edit requires.

What kinds of videos can be produced?

Common projects include promotional videos, website hero clips, event recaps, tourism videos, property videos, construction updates, and social media content, depending on the available source material.

Do you serve editing projects outside Green Bay?

Editing can often begin with transferred source files. If new capture is part of the project, Above Wisconsin serves Green Bay, Northeast Wisconsin, Door County, the Fox Valley, Brown County, and other Wisconsin locations when the scope makes sense.
