Narrative & Documentary Editing

Korea's feature and documentary editing scene grew up around films like Bong Joon-ho's Parasite. It also grew around the long-form streaming dramas made for Studio Dragon, Tving, Wavve, and Coupang Play. We pair your shoot with narrative editors who have worked inside that world. These are drama pros who know Korean pacing for tvN, JTBC.

The pool also includes MBC veterans, plus documentary editors with credits across KBS and MBC. Many come from the festival-circuit indie scene that built Korea's name in observational and historical film. Each editor gets a full brief on script structure, character arcs, and the project's theme before any footage is cut. We also book suite time in The DMC hub, Mokdong, or Yeouido to match the director's schedule.

Narrative editing on scripted features and series follows set stages: assembly, director's cut, producer's cut, fine cut, and picture lock. Planned review sessions give directors and producers clear points to shape the story. Documentary editing respects the source and picks interview clips with care. Our editors then blend archive stills, period footage, and today's location material into one seamless cut.

Period documentary projects gain from Korea's deep archive holdings at KOFA and KBS. Our editors handle format swaps, restoration planning, and Ken-Burns photo motion where it fits. On both narrative and documentary jobs, editors deliver picture-locked timelines with clean conform handoffs to sound and colour. Each handoff includes ordered EDLs, AAFs, and XMLs for teams anywhere in the world.

Our editors work across the tools that scripted and factual work demand. Avid Media Composer carries feature and series cutting, where bin structure and media management must stay clean across a long schedule. Adobe Premiere Pro suits documentary builds that fold in mixed archive and graphic material, and DaVinci Resolve links the cut into finishing. We match the toolchain to the project's grade and sound path. Project files stay ordered, so any suite can take over the timeline without rebuilding it.

Delivery routes differ by destination, and our editors plan for each. A drama bound for JTBC or a broadcaster slot is conformed to that channel's delivery sheet. A documentary or original series heading to Netflix, Disney+, or Coupang Play is locked for streaming spec and IMF-based ingest. Both paths get separate masters for Korean and overseas markets where rights and language terms differ. Narrative and documentary editing is quoted in Korean Won, with the standard 10% VAT, and remote review keeps directors and producers close to every cut.
