Hi, I’m Ken Mackenzie. I’m a freelance video editor with over a decade of experience in animation and live-action post-production. I excel at turning storyboards into polished deliverables, coordinating across editors, producers and coordinators, and delivering on tight deadlines with clear communication and a collaborative approach.
I specialize in editorial workflows, QC and final delivery formatting, and I’m proficient with Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects and related post tools. I enjoy building scalable workflows that help editorial teams operate efficiently on complex projects.
