Chris Santana

Editor

I am a highly experienced video editor with over a decade experience, who has spent the last few years working as in-house Video Editor for WhatsApp (Meta) and edited for key brands -HSBC, Marriott, SalesForce-, as well as for agencies such as M&C Saatchi, Hogarth Media, Prodigious and Accenture. I’ve also worked on TV productions, such as the Discovery+ series ‘Border Control Europe’,‘The Great British Bake off’ and ‘Borderforce USA’ series.

I’m proficient in Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro X, with strong experience in Avid MC and Adobe After Effects, too. I’m multilingual and have worked on a variety of projects in English (bilingual), Spanish (native), Portuguese, German, French and Italian.
