Hi, I’m Cole Manasia, a video editor and producer based in Simsbury, CT. I help brands tell stories through polished editing, color work, and motion graphics. I routinely use Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Photoshop, CapCut, and I thrive on turning raw footage into engaging content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. I’m currently an Associate Producer at Simsbury Community Media and a Video Editor at Luke Pepper Creative, delivering short-form videos under tight deadlines, collaborating with clients, training volunteers, and supporting studio productions.
