Narrative & promotional video editor. Premiere Pro + DaVinci Resolve.
I’m Karan Paitka, a Montreal-based filmmaker. I edit narrative scenes and promotional videos, with a focus on story, pacing and clear visual communication. My background in writing, directing and producing helps me understand what a scene or brief needs to achieve.
Selected editing work
• Vane Cragnov — freelance promotional reel for a Melbourne Elvis tribute artist (2026). Producer and editor; edited with Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
• Scene Study — SAE directing and editing exercise, filmed in 2024 and re-edited in 2026. An independent educational study, with no affiliation to the original production.
I can help with rough-cut assemblies, narrative and promotional edits, and footage organization and logging support. I work remotely on a project basis, with the scope, milestones and revisions agreed before work begins.
