David N.
Top Rated Podcast Producer & Editor | Video & Audio
𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿 & 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 from 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲, 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 🇦🇺 Top Rated Plus, 110+ jobs, 5+ years. I’ve produced shows for Gray Capital, TensorWave, University of Chicago and B2B companies at the top of their industries: full episodes, social clips, thumbnails and show notes. 🔹 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝟭𝟬-𝟭𝟱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸? That's how much time most podcasters or marketing managers waste on editing, clipping, and formatting. I take your raw recording and produce everything. Full episode. Social clips. Thumbnails. Show notes. You never touch a timeline again. Have worked finance, tech, coaching, health, culture and education. Interview shows and solo episodes. Multi-camera editing for in-studio shoots. Remote podcast with Riverside, StreamYard, or Zoom. 🔹 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗲? What separates me from most podcast editors on this platform is that I actually run a podcast. I created and produced the Creating Freedom Podcast. 26-episode limited interview series. Did the whole thing myself. Concept. Filming. Editing in Premiere Pro and After Effects Did the whole thing myself, start to finish. Concept through to distribution.I don't just edit podcasts. I know what it's like to make one. 🔹 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜'𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 When I watch your episode, I can tell where people will drop off. I can feel which moments have enough energy to stand on their own as YouTube Shorts or LinkedIn video clips. Every clip I pull is hand-selected. I watch the full episode. No auto-cutting tools. No AI clipping. The moments that work on social aren't the ones a transcript picks up. They're in the delivery. The shift in someone's voice. The pause before they say something real. You have to watch it to catch it. 🔹 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. ➤ You're spending 5 to 15 hours on each episode. Editing, cutting clips, formatting for platforms, writing descriptions. Time you should be putting toward content and guests. ➤ Your episodes probably look a bit different every week. The intro changes. Graphics are inconsistent. Turnaround is unpredictable. Your audience notices, even if they can't articulate why. ➤ You know you should be repurposing content for social. You see other shows posting clips that get traction on Reels, Shorts, TikTok clips, LinkedIn. But actually doing it, finding moments, editing each one, adding captions, formatting for every platform, that's basically a second full time job. ➤ And if you've hired editors before who just delivered generic cuts with no feel for your show, I understand the hesitation. I'm here to take that whole problem off your hands. 🔹 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 Send me your files. I take it from there: ➤ Full episode editing, video and audio sync, multi cam or single cam ➤ Custom intros, outros and branded graphics ➤ Cold opens that hook viewers in the first few seconds ➤ Social media clips with captions for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and LinkedIn ➤ Thumbnails ➤ Titles, descriptions and show notes ➤ ~3-4 days turnaround on standard edits 🔹 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 I've worked with Gray Capital (finance), TensorWave (AI/tech), SME Centre of AI (tech/education), Business Benchmark, University of Chicago (education), National Flight Training Alliance (aviation), and plenty more across coaching, dating and culture. "His work was always on time, and up to specs. He added a lot of value, and brought great ideas to the table." 🗣️ Kevin T., Creative Director "David does amazing work and is incredibly easy to work with!" 🗣️ Matt B., Gray Capital 🔹 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲’𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 → Step 01 - Brief Chat Quick chat about your show, your style, what you need. → Step 02 - Onboarding I gather your podcast details, target audience, tone, brand assets. Invite any teammates I'll be working with. I set you up with a project tracker so we're on the same page. → Step 03 - Editing & Creation Once you submit your first episode, I start with a production plan before it hits the timeline. I run a 5-pass editing stage for video and audio, leaving nothing out. Goal is to get 90% of the way there on our first episode together. → Step 04 - Review & Revisions You get the edit on Frame-io. Click the frame, leave a note. Done. → Step 05 - Final Delivery Once approved, download your finished video. 🔹 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁: If you're searching for a video editor who can add value to your project just hit the “𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲” button to chat!
