Sequence 01 / Assembly Cut

Raw lectures in.
Clear lessons out.

Clipstone Motion is a post-production studio for educational, instructional and informational video. You send the footage you already recorded — we shape the structure, trim the noise, mark the chapters and hand back files ready to publish.

Pipeline

Five markers between upload and publish

Media intake

You upload the recording, slides and any caption files. We log formats, runtime and audio channels.

Step 01

Structure map

We watch the footage and write the section map: topics, steps, sequences worth keeping.

Step 02

Assembly cut

Pauses, repeats and failed takes come out. The picture is aligned with the instruction order.

Step 03

Annotation pass

Titles, chapter markers, callouts and your captions are placed and checked in order.

Step 04

Delivery

Master plus any short versions, named by lesson and module, in the formats you asked for.

Step 05

Splitter

One recording, many finished pieces

Pick a source below to see a typical split. Nothing is re-shot and nothing is distributed for you — we prepare the versions, you publish them wherever you already publish.

Reviews

Notes from the people we cut for

6 of 6 shown
rev 01
Our recorded seminar ran two hours with three false starts. It came back as four lessons that actually follow the syllabus, and the chapter list matched our workbook exactly.
MR

Marisol Ravenscroft

Curriculum Architect, Thornbury Trades Institute

rev 02
The step order in my screen capture was a mess. They resynced the picture to the real procedure and flagged two steps I had recorded out of sequence.
EH

Emeka Halloran-Vance

Field Technician Trainer, Kelso Hydraulics

rev 03
I sent one long workshop and received nine short excerpts plus a recap version. Naming was consistent, so uploading to our learning portal took an afternoon.
IS

Ingrid Solheim-Bautista

Learning Operations Lead, Cordell Health Academy

rev 04
Captions I supplied were placed without a single drift, and the callouts sit where the eye already is. Legibility on tablets improved noticeably.
TW

Tobias Wrenfeather

Accessibility Reviewer, Marlowe Open Courses

rev 05
They removed the dead air and my throat-clearing habit without making the delivery feel chopped. Students stopped complaining about pacing.
AD

Anouk Deveraux-Pryce

Lecturer in Applied Statistics, Ashgrove Polytechnic

rev 06
Two revision rounds were enough because their first cut came with a section map explaining every decision. That document alone saved a week of back-and-forth.

Questions

Before you send the files

Anything else, write to team@clipstonemotion.com — we answer with a plain estimate, not a sales deck.

01 Do you record or host anything for us?

No. We work only on media you provide, and we do not broadcast, stream, distribute or host the finished files. Delivery is a set of files you publish yourself.

02 Can you write the captions from scratch?

We prepare, place and check captions and annotations that you supply. Authoring transcripts is outside the service.

03 How long does an edit take?

Standard turnaround is three to five business days per deliverable. A rush pass is available when the schedule allows, quoted per project.

04 What if the footage has technical problems?

We remove failed takes, repeats and dead air, and we tell you honestly when a segment cannot be saved by editing alone.

05 How many revisions are included?

Two rounds per deliverable. Further rounds are billed at $60 per round.

06 Which formats do you accept?

MP4, MOV and ProRes for picture, WAV or AAC for separate audio, SRT and VTT for captions, PNG or PDF for slides and diagrams.
