Post-production in Danbury

The shoot is the loud part. The edit is where the ad either works or dies. Tailor Cut Media finishes in-house at 158 Main Street — color, sound, captions, and every ratio you actually paid to run.

Not a freelancer with Premiere

The same people who were on set, cutting the film

Jamie Micca is the lead editor. He is not a night-shift vendor in another time zone. If we shot your birria steam, your owner interview, or your :30 appliance spot, the person assembling it already heard the room. That is the whole point of hiring a Danbury studio instead of a production company that “partners” with an unnamed post house.

Post-production here means a picture lock you can run: a hero film, the six-to-fifteen-second cuts for paid social, captions, and color that matches across every version. We do not hand you one wide 16:9 and wish you luck in the crop.

What finishing includes

The unglamorous list that makes ads ship

01 · Edit

Picture

Selects, pacing, and a first cut that already knows the offer. Not a dump of every take.

02 · Sound

Clean the room

Dialogue, music, and mix that survive a phone speaker in a car on I-84.

03 · Finish

Color & type

Grade, supers, end cards, and legal lines that still read at 9:16.

04 · Versions

Platforms

Horizontal, vertical, captioned, :06 / :15 / :30. Named files. Ready to upload.

Questions

Before you hire

Do you edit footage someone else shot?

Sometimes. If the files are clean and we can see a sample, we will quote a finishing pass. We prefer to cut work we produced — the editor already knows the day — but a salvage edit is a real job, not a favor.

How long is post after a half-day shoot?

A hero plus a handful of social cuts is usually one to two weeks, plus a revision round. Campaign calendars (Black Friday, a store opening) get a locked date, not a vibe.

What do we actually receive?

Finished files in the ratios you bought media for, captions on the social cuts, and the raw if that was in the bid. You should be able to upload without asking us what a ProRes is.
