On Location

Editing and Assembly Services Japan

Footage from across Japan reaches the edit suite in many shapes. Long observational reels arrive from Hokkaido, fast-cut commercial work comes in from Shibuya, and set-up interview reels land from corporate shoots in Tokyo's Minato ward. Each one carries its own story needs.

Our editing team runs the build and polish stage with flows tuned for speed and clarity. Global clients stay linked to each cut through secure online review tools. We work across narrative, doc, commercial, and multi-platform formats, and we shape our approach to the material rather than the other way around.

Video Editing forms the core of our build service. Our editors shape reels from tricky, multi-site shoots that span mixed visual settings and conditions across Japan. Narrative and Doc Editing call for different ways of working. The first asks for clear structure and emotional pace, while the second asks us to shape a story from large stacks of observational reels filmed in real settings like Kyoto's heritage quarter or Fukuoka's food markets.

Multi-Cam Sync Editing locks the tech line-up of camera feeds that ran at the same time. That work is key for live events, panel shows, and performance content, where frame accuracy is what makes the cut read clean.

Our editors cut on DaVinci Resolve and partner systems tuned for broadcast finishing. We match each deliverable to its end point. NHK, TBS, and Fuji TV spots follow Rec.709 broadcast norms, while Netflix Japan work runs through HDR picture. Online review through secure tools keeps global producers in step across time zones. Bilingual handling sits at the core, so English and Japanese cuts both read clean before picture lock.

Turnaround scales to the format and footage volume. Short commercial cutdowns move in days, while features and long-form docs run several weeks across review rounds. We map clear milestones at the start and report progress as the edit firms up. Cost is quoted in Japanese yen, with the 10 percent consumption tax shown plainly. Each picture-locked edit ships ready for grading and sound, with tidy project files and the export specs your release needs.

What if we need changes after final delivery?

We set the revision rounds upfront in our project agreement, which mostly cover 2-3 rounds of notes through picture lock. Extra changes beyond that scope are welcome and quoted separately.

Do you handle conform for VFX and color grading?

Yes. We give full conform services and run round-trip workflows between editorial, VFX, and grading. We deliver tidy project files with all metadata, EDLs, XMLs, and AAFs intact for downstream departments.
