Film Editor Services

Here is how this works in practice. Our editors cut on Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro X from edit bays at Park Road Post Wellington, Department of Post The capital, Images and Sound Auckland, and Toybox Auckland with full ScriptSync, PhraseFind, and pix.in or Frame.io secure-review integration for global director and producer joint work.

Here is how this works in practice. Productions ship NLE projects with full AAF / XML / EDL conform paths to Park Road's grading and online suites, with sync-locked picture handoffs to sound design (sound mixers running Pro Tools HDX on Avid S6 desks) and Wētā FX visual effects pipelines. We set up assistant editors, VFX editors, sound editors, and DI conform editors across multi-month feature runs and rapid-turnaround commercial cuts. DEGNZ contracts cover editorial engagements with reciprocal IATSE post-prod terms for US co-productions. NZSPG 25 percent International Production Grant covers qualifying NZ post spend. GST 15 percent applies on NZD invoicing.

Here is the short of it. Heritage runs through Jamie Selkirk (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King 2003 Best Film Editing Oscar). Michael Horton (LOTR trilogy). Jabez Olssen (Hobbit trilogy, Mortal Engines). Margaret Sixel (Mad Max Fury Road Best Film Editing Oscar 2016 — Australia-based with NZ heritage). Annie Collins (Power of the Dog 2021) — the Wellywood editorial bench that delivered consecutive Best Picture Oscars and has continued anchoring Avatar: The Way of Water 2023 finishing at Park Road Post and Wētā FX. The Park Road / Stone Street / Weta Miramar editorial campus is the deepest concentrated editorial bench in the Southern Hemisphere. Pacific and Māori cultural content editing runs cultural-advisor sign-off on whakapapa-major sequences, with tikanga-compliant rough-cut review and iwi consultation documented in writing. ACC universal accident cover protects all editorial crew. Privacy Act 2020 governs rushes and pre-release master handling.
