Film Editor Services
One of the world's premier post-production hubs: connecting you with editors who shape raw footage into compelling stories.
A film editor assembles raw footage into a coherent, compelling narrative by selecting takes, shaping pacing, and structuring scenes. Canada's editing tradition benefits from its position as Hollywood's northern neighbor, with editors trained in both the National Film Board's documentary heritage and the high-volume episodic output of 'Hollywood North' in Vancouver and Toronto.
We connect you with Canada-based editors who bring both technical precision and narrative instinct to the post-production process. Our network spans facilities including Company 3 Toronto, Deluxe Vancouver, Vision Globale (Montreal), with professionals experienced in feature films, documentaries, commercials, and series working across all major editing platforms.

Editors with credits on Sicario, Women Talking, Atanarjuat, Schitt's Creek, and Cronenberg's long collaboration with Ron Sanders
Here is how the work lines up. Canadian editing sits inside a tradition that runs from the NFB Montreal documentary school of the 1960s through today's Hollywood-North episodic factories. Our editor roster includes Joe Klotz (Sicario, alongside the broader Denis Villeneuve post-team), Ralph Brunjes (Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner — Zacharias Kunuk's Inuktitut-language Cannes Camera d'Or winner), Pamela Martin (Sarah Polley's regular collaborator on Women Talking — 2022 Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar — alongside Battle of the Sexes and The Fighter), Ron Sanders (David Cronenberg's editor of record across Crash, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, and Crimes of the Future — one of the longest-running director-editor partnerships in world cinema), Susan Korda (the documentary feature and educational pipeline), Annie Ilkow (Beans, Tracey Deer's Mohawk-set Oka Crisis feature), Avril Jacobson (the Emmy-winning Schitt's Creek run at CBC and Pop), Geoff Ashenhurst (the long-form documentary and prestige-TV doc track), and Glen MacPherson on the DP-editor hybrid commercial circuit. Below department-head level, our network includes senior assistant editors, online editors, sound editors, and assembly editors carrying credits across the CBC, Radio-Canada, CTV, Global, Hallmark, AMC, Netflix, Apple TV+, and Disney+ Canadian-origination slate.
Editing suites run Avid Media Composer Ultimate (the broadcast-television and prestige-series standard), DaVinci Resolve Studio (with integrated grade and Fusion VFX for feature finishing), and Adobe Premiere Pro + After Effects for commercial and digital workflows, with edit sharing on Avid NEXIS, EditShare, and Frame.io review pipelines.
Telenovela-equivalent high-volume episodic factories run at CBC Toronto, Radio-Canada Montreal, CTV (Bell Media) Toronto and Vancouver, Global (Corus) Toronto, Hallmark Channel (W Network) Toronto, and the Winnipeg, Calgary, and Halifax regional broadcaster bases — turning out daily and weekly episodic content for North American delivery. Feature and prestige-series finishing flows through Company 3 Toronto, Deluxe Vancouver, Vision Globale Montreal, MELS Post, DNEG, and Pixomondo, with delivery shaped to Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Crave, Tou.tv, and theatrical exhibitor specs.
The federal CPTC (up to 25%) stacks with Ontario Creates, Creative BC, SODEC, the Alberta Film Commission, and Manitoba Film & Music, and we structure post-prod engagements to keep CRTC-certified Canadian Content status intact from picture lock through final master and IMF/DCP delivery to TIFF, VIFF, Hot Docs, Fantasia, the Canadian Screen Awards, and global festival and broadcaster windows.

What delivery formats do your editors support?

How do you match an editor to my production?
We evaluate your project's genre, format, pacing style, and post-production timeline, then recommend editors whose portfolios and working style align with your needs. We also consider their familiarity with your preferred editing platform and workflow requirements.
At what stage should an editor get involved?
Editors are most effective when brought in during or shortly after principal photography, so they can begin assembling sequences while the shoot is still underway. On larger productions, having an editor cutting alongside filming allows the director to review assemblies and make informed decisions about coverage before wrap.
