Chris Santana
Edit Assistant
Also available as a:
Editor
Multilingual video editor and videographer with over a decade of experience, including in‑house roles at WhatsApp (Meta) and Amazon. I love cutting trailers and documentary-style content that connects emotionally for brands and agencies worldwide.
Bilingual (English and Spanish) and experienced working on Portuguese, German and Italian projects, thriving in cross‑cultural teams. Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro with strong experience in After Effects and FCPX, with additional experience in Resolve, Avid MC and generative AI tools such as Midjourney and Google Veo.
Currently exploring emerging tools such as AI‑driven video technologies and seeking remote or London‑based contract roles that allow for creative challenges and the crafting of impactful narratives.
