Editing
The cut that carries it
Documentaries, commercials, podcasts and creator channels. We shape your footage into a cut with rhythm, then handle sound and clean-up so it holds up anywhere it plays.
How editing works
Video & Photo Studio
Quiet edits. Loud results.
We are IGOR MORARU: a video editing and photo finishing studio that treats your deadline as a promise. Scope in writing, feedback in notes, delivery on schedule.
Written brief
We would rather say "two weeks" and land in ten.
Written scope
One person answers your emails, not a queue.
NDA by default
Notes in plain sentences, never vague adjectives.

You know the price before a single frame is cut.
01 — Services
Three services, one standard of care
These three cover nearly every request we receive. Each starts the same way: a written brief and a fixed quote.
Color
Match, balance, finish
A look that belongs to your film, not a preset menu. We match scenes, build a palette, and finish in the formats your platform actually accepts.
How color works
Retouching
Texture that stays
Portraits, products and editorial work, cleaned and balanced without that plastic look. Skin stays skin, texture stays texture, and the client stays happy.

A handful of recent projects
03 — The studio
Small on purpose. Careful by design.
IGOR MORARU is a one-person post house, run by IGOR MORARU out of Chișinău, Moldova, working with clients in fourteen countries. Small by choice — because a single careful editor, reachable by email, is usually better than a production line.
The studio stays small on purpose: a short roster, a written brief, and a fixed date on every project. Nothing drifts.
- Written brief and scope before any work starts
- Secure file delivery and confidentiality by default
- Feedback in clear notes, not vague adjectives

04 — How it works
The process, laid out plainly
Quote
One price, one date, in writing. Nothing is billed later.
Rough cut
The first cut lands quickly and we refine it in clear, numbered rounds.
Draft
You see a first cut quickly, then we tighten it in clear revision rounds.
Deliver
Final payment, master files, and every format and caption you asked for.

A word from recent clients
“
Three projects, three on-time deliveries. I have stopped worrying about the deadline entirely.

The color grade made our founder's film look like it cost five times what it did. Communication was one clear email thread.
