TC 00:01 Services
Short-form, done properly.
One specialism, not fourteen: vertical video that earns its watch time. Everything below is cut by the same pair of hands.
◧
Overflow editing for videographers
Peak-season backlog cleared under your brand: wedding and event highlights, social cuts and teasers from your footage, to your style guide. White-label as standard.
▶
Long-form to short-form
One talking-head video, podcast episode or event film becomes a set of Reels and TikToks, each with its own hook and captions.
≡
Styled captions & subtitles
Accurate, brand-matched captions with SRT files on request — essential for silent autoplay and accessibility.
◑
Colour & audio polish
Grades that unify mixed footage, plus noise removal, levelling and music mixing so every clip sounds as finished as it looks.
✦
Event & wedding social cuts
Next-day-feel highlight Reels from milestone events — the format I shoot and cut for my own clients at Precious Memories.
TC 00:02 The free first edit
No borrowed portfolio. A free edit instead.
Live Ready Media is new, and I would rather prove that with your footage than decorate this page with someone else's. So the first edit is free — a real deliverable, not a watermarked teaser.
01
Send one raw clip
Phone footage or camera files, up to about ten minutes — Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer. Tell me who it is for and where it will be posted.
02
I cut it within 48 hours
You get back a finished vertical edit — hook, captions, music, colour and audio — exported for the platform you post on.
03
Keep it either way
Post it whether or not we ever work together. If you like how it feels, the packages below are how we keep going.
What the free edit includes
- One finished vertical edit, up to 60 seconds
- Styled captions matched to your brand
- Colour, audio clean-up and licensed-music guidance
- Delivered within 48 hours
- No card details, no obligation, yours to post
TC 00:03 About Live Ready Media
One editor. Your footage, treated like mine.
Live Ready Media is Amara Sesay — a London photographer and videographer, and the founder of milestone-film studio Precious Memories. I built this service for videographers drowning in peak-season footage and for small teams who need short-form done well without an agency retainer. It is a new service, so you will find honest prices here instead of invented client counts — and a free first edit instead of a borrowed portfolio.
[ 1:1 ]
One point of contact
The person you brief is the person cutting your footage. No account managers, no hand-offs, no queue.
[ 48H ]
Honest turnaround
Standard delivery is 48 hours per short-form edit — occasionally 72 in a heavy week, and you are told before I take the job, not after.
[ CAM ]
Cut by a shooter
I film weddings and milestone events myself, so I edit the way shooters hope an editor will — protecting the moments, not just trimming clips.
[ W/L ]
White-label as standard
Overflow work goes out under your brand and your style guide. Your clients never see my name unless you want them to.

Prices on the page
Packages are priced below, in plain numbers. No quote dance, no inflated rate card, no surprise line items.
[ 4K ]
Yours, properly delivered
Exports in the exact specs each platform wants, up to 4K — and you own every final file, with project files available on request.
TC 00:04 How it works
From raw footage to ready-to-publish in five steps.
01
Upload your footage
Send files through Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer. You get a private upload link the moment your project starts.
02
Tell me the vision
References, brand assets and goals in a short brief — or a quick call if that is easier. The clearer the vision, the sharper the first cut.
03
I edit
Cut, grade, mix, captions — and progress updates you do not have to chase.
04
Review & refine
Leave timestamped comments on the video. Two revision rounds are included on every paid edit — and if I have missed the brief, fixing that is on me.
05
Final delivery
Platform-ready exports in every format you need, plus project files on request. Upload and go live.
TC 00:05 Pricing
Plain packages, prices included.
No quote dance — these are the numbers. Every package starts with the free first edit, so you know exactly what you are buying before a pound changes hands.

TC 00:06 FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is the first edit really free?+
Yes, genuinely. You send one raw clip, it comes back within 48 hours as a finished vertical edit — captions, music, colour and audio included — and it is yours to post whether or not we ever speak again. Live Ready Media is new, and a free edit is a more honest audition than a borrowed portfolio.
Who actually edits my videos?+
Amara Sesay — a London photographer and videographer, and the founder of milestone-film studio Precious Memories. One editor, one point of contact: the person you brief is the person cutting your footage.
Do you white-label for videographers?+
Yes, as standard. Overflow edits are delivered under your brand and to your style guide — your fonts, your grade, your caption style. Your clients never see my name unless you want them to.
How do I send you my footage?+
Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer — whatever you already use. When a project starts you get a private upload link, so sharing large files takes minutes, not meetings.
What file types do you accept?+
All standard formats: MP4, MOV, ProRes and raw camera files from Sony, Canon, Blackmagic and most others, plus audio in WAV or MP3. If a camera made it, it can be cut.
How long does editing take?+
Standard turnaround is 48 hours per short-form edit, occasionally 72 in a heavy week — and you are told which before I take the job, not after. Rush delivery is sometimes possible; ask before you book.
Can I request revisions?+
Every paid edit includes two revision rounds with timestamped comments. And if the first cut misses the brief you gave, fixing that does not count as a revision — it counts as my job.
Can you make Reels from my long videos?+
Yes — one talking-head video, podcast episode or event film can become a set of Reels, Shorts and TikToks, each with its own hook and captions. The Reel Pack and Monthly Eight both cover repurposing.
Who owns the final files?+
You do, fully and forever. Final exports are yours to use anywhere, and project files are available on request at no extra charge.
What does it cost?+
The prices are on this page: first edit free, four edits for £149, eight a month for £349, and a London filming half-day with edits for £299. Overflow work for videographers is quoted per project from a plain rate card — ask and it is with you the same day.
