Audio cleanup and subtle color correction for eight minute medical mission video in Premiere Pro
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
We are a non profit foundation that recently completed a medical mission in Morocco. We filmed the mission with an iPhone 14 Pro Max using an external microphone. The footage is already edited into a video of about eight minutes in Adobe Premiere Pro.
We are looking for an experienced video editor and audio specialist who can professionally clean up the sound and apply subtle color correction, in a documentary style. We also want someone who looks beyond the audio and color only and pays attention to small details in the edit.
Project details

4. Project files and media are available here

2. Audio work
1. A1 track contains audio from the external microphone
Please work primarily in this layer
2. Tasks in A1
1. Minimize background noise
children, people walking around, general environment
2. Reduce or remove microphone issues
handling noise, distortions, crackling, popping
3. Fix problem areas where the woman speaks very loudly or has the microphone too close to her mouth
reduce harsh high frequencies, reduce clipping as much as possible
4. Make the older man, the younger man and the woman all sit at a similar and comfortable loudness
voices must be clear and easy to understand without the viewer touching the volume
5. Smooth out resonances, harsh high tones and any other unpleasant frequencies
3. A2 track is background music
1. Adjust levels so the music is clearly in the background
2. Voices must always sit clearly on top of the music
3. The viewer should never have to struggle to hear what is being said
3. Color correction
1. Apply subtle color correction
1. No strong cinematic look
2. Colors should feel natural, a bit richer and more consistent
3. Style should support the feeling of a human, realistic documentary about a medical mission
4. Extra attention to detail
1. Look at the overall timing and flow of the edit
1. If you see a cut between scenes that feels slightly off in timing, please adjust it
2. Make sure transitions, cuts and audio fades feel natural and smooth
2. If you notice small mistakes in the project file
1. For example a clip that starts a bit too late or ends a bit too early
2. Or a title that appears a little too short or too long
please correct these details so the final result feels polished and professional
5. Style and quality expectations
1. Documentary style, not a commercial or very stylized film look
2. Clean, clear voice audio is the top priority
3. Professional but natural look, respectful to the context of a medical charity project
Deliverables
1. Updated Adobe Premiere Pro project file with
1. Cleaned and balanced audio on A1
2. Corrected levels for background music on A2
3. Applied color correction on the video
4. Small timing and detail fixes in the edit where needed
2. Optional but appreciated
1. One exported mp4 file in high quality for quick review on our side
Technical requirements
1. Strong experience with Adobe Premiere Pro
2. Experience with audio cleanup for spoken voice
Izotope RX, Adobe Audition or similar tools is a big plus
3. Experience with documentary style grading and sound mixing
4. Eye for detail and storytelling flow in documentary edits
