Emmy Award-Winning Video Editing Services In New York.
FDM was recently nominated and won a regional Emmy Award in the craft category for Video Editing. Our New York Video Editing staff (and our client!) we’re incredibly honored and thrilled with the recognition. It’s a commitment to excellence that we strive for in every project we work on.
Foundation Digital Media employs state of the art, non-linear editing platforms and provides incredibly efficient and cost-effective New York video editing services. 90% of our video editing services are unsupervised edits. That may sound odd, but with the latest technology and HD video servers, we use online or On-Demand screener pages.
Those online screening rooms allow our clients to view the edits and rough cuts at their convenience and make changes in real time while they collaborate with our video editors.
WHY CHOOSE OUR VIDEO EDITING SERVICES IN NEW YORK?
Our Video Editing Services Are Trusted By Some Of The Most Valued Businesses In New York.
We offer supervised and unsupervised video editing services, location edits and encourage client collaboration via transcriptions and private online screener rooms. Using a full video transcription service not only allows our producers to organize our content but also shows the client what material hasn’t been used. This is an essential component of ROI and the ability to build more projects off the back of the original investment.
Every video project starts with a phone call or intake form. This allows us to understand YOUR vision and how we can best collaborate to achieve your goals.

Foundation Digital Media worked with General Dynamics to produce a training video and the experience was beyond measure. The FDM video team were extremely professional, flexible, and patient, and instrumental in ensuring we created an engaging final product.
General Dynamics
We’ve worked with Foundation Digital Media on several projects over the last couple of years and the experience has always been exceptional. The creativity, professionalism and quality of their work is outstanding. This was my first experience working with a video team and I will never use anyone else.
ABCOP
We just recently worked with Foundation Digital Media to shoot and edit a video vignette. The customer service we received was truly top-notch. The video looks amazing and was delivered on a very tight deadline. They are true professionals every step of the way. FCM is looking forward to working with them again!
Family Circle Magazine
This is literally the first thing most people ask.
Itʼs a great question obviously but difficult to answer without a detailed vision of your goals.
We like to use a home building analogy. What kind of home do you want us to build? Single family, townhome or condo? What extras would you like inside?
A lot is dependent on your budget and style. Be open, communicate what you have to work with. Often we are able to match expectations with an understanding of your budget. Most importantly, always remember cost has nothing to do with production value!
HAVE FUN!
Video production is exciting and cool. Lights, camera...well you know the next line. This is why we ultimately got into this business years and years ago. Itʼs a lot of fun. We want that to convey in every project that we do. Thereʼs nothing worse than working with a crew that thinks theyʼre a little too cool for the room.
Obviously, some subjects are more sensitive than others, but we want to make the experience an enjoyable one.
Act like the camera's not there...
This can certainly seem easier said than done, but it really is that simple. People look their best in video when they seem at ease, relaxed and natural. Itʼs too easy to sense unease and anxiety through the camera. Memorizing responses is also a big no no. Just talk about things youʼre already knowledgeable about. Mess up? Fine, we just start over...no biggie!
The only way to avoid it is to really try to trick your mind that the camera really isnʼt there at all, youʼre just talking to the interviewer like youʼre having a conversation with a friend. There are situations where we can strip down the gear and use a light footprint so the set can be a little less intimidating. We havenʼt lost anyone yet!
Typically, a standard project can be turned around in 7-10 business days from last day of filming. Weʼre only as fast as the approval process allows but this window of time is a pretty good starting point depending on size of the project and number of videos needed.
Typically weʼll back up the raw files and keep them for a year. Often times clients will want to freshen up a project, add content and build from the original. This is a great example of ROI when using a professional video production company.
