Hyderabad Short Film Editor
Budget: ₹2,000 – ₹4,000 INR
I’ve wrapped principal photography on a 15–20-minute short that blends drama, comedy and a strong social message, and I’m ready to move into post. All footage has been organised and transcoded; now I need an editor located in Hyderabad who can take it from first assemble to festival-ready master.
The scope covers every stage of post: clean cut and seamless merges for narrative flow, full colour grading to match the film’s shifting moods, polished sound design and final mix, plus a handful of light visual-effects shots (simple screen comps and object cleanup). DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and After Effects are the core tools on our side, but I’m open if you have a different, proven pipeline.
Because we are a self-funded team working within a modest 2k–4k range, I’m planning to break the work into two clear milestones: picture lock, then finishing (grade, sound, VFX, deliverables). Let me know how you’d allocate hours or percentages across those steps so we can keep everything transparent.
Deliverables I’ll need:
• Picture-locked timeline (editable project file + reference export)
• Graded and mixed master in 4K ProRes or high-bitrate H.264, plus a festival-ready DCP
• Separate dialogue, music and effects stems
• Full project files and assets neatly organised for archive
If you’re based in Hyderabad, comfortable collaborating in person when needed, and confident handling the complete post workflow, send over a brief reel or links to previous narrative work along with your proposed timeline. I’d like to start the first review session next week.
