uriel romano
freelance video editor based in Buenos Aires, working with agencies and production companies in the US and Australia.
I cut interview-driven, documentary and institutional films — most often for agencies serving government, higher education and corporate clients.
I work across US time zones and handle projects from raw footage through final delivery: assembly, editorial color, sound design, captions and versioning.
how I work
native camera formats
I work natively with RED R3D raw and Canon C-Log 2 footage — no proxies. my workstation and storage are built for large camera-original projects, so what you send is what I cut.
first cuts
I turn hours of A-roll and B-roll into a structured first cut. for a first project with a new client, I'll usually have a first cut on a short-form piece within two to three days of receiving footage.
finishing and captions
editorial color correction and Rec.709 delivery in Lumetri, sound design, 2D motion graphics and logo animation. final audio mastering runs through a specialist partner. closed captions (SRT) handled in-house.
project files and rights
you receive consolidated project files on completion. I claim no ownership over the footage or the finished work — rights sit with you and your client under your own agreement, including any third-party music, stock or font licences.

my work culture: the 4 c’s
-
I'm set up to onboard as a vendor with agencies in the US and Australia — US-registered business, standard tax paperwork, invoicing in USD or AUD.
-
you'll hear from me before you need to ask. I send progress notes at agreed points rather than going quiet between deliveries, and flag problems in the footage early rather than at handover.
-
I've worked inside both Australian and US agency pipelines — as a staff editor at Shootsta in Sydney, and for several years with agencies in New England. the conventions differ, and knowing them means less explaining on your side. I work in English, and can cut Spanish-language footage without relying on a translator.
-
I sign client and agency NDAs. project material stays on my own storage, isn't handed to subcontractors without your agreement, and doesn't appear in my portfolio until you've cleared it.
