Cinematic YouTube Video Editing

I have raw footage for a 15-minute YouTube episode on the culture of India and now need it shaped into a polished, cinematic story. The cut should feel more like a short film than a vlog—rich colour grading, thoughtful pacing, and sound design that keeps viewers engaged from the first frame to the last.

Key creative notes
• Editing style: cinematic throughout, with a strong narrative flow.
• Transitions: use clean fade-in/fade-out moves at scene changes; no wipes, jump-cuts only where they add energy.
• Enhancements: tasteful text overlays for place names or cultural facts and a well-balanced background music track that never overpowers dialogue or natural ambience.

Deliverables
1. Final 15-minute video (H.264, 1080p or higher) ready for upload.
2. Project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve—whatever you use) so I can make minor tweaks later.
3. Separate audio stem for voice-over if you split it during mixing.

The raw assets—camera clips, voice-over, reference images, and a shortlist of royalty-free tracks—are already organised in Google Drive. Once you have everything, let me know your estimated turnaround time and any questions about tone, pacing, or additional b-roll inserts. I aim for a smooth collaboration and a visually striking result that celebrates India’s culture in style.
