Editing
Structure and pace
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
Good footage, great final version.
NICOLETA CREȚU is a small studio for video editing and photo finishing. We cut your footage into a film that holds attention, grade it to feel like a film, and deliver it on the day we promised — not the day we get around to it.
Fixed scope
You talk directly to the person doing the work.
Clear feedback
Fixed scope, fixed date, no surprise extras.
One editor
We would rather say "two weeks" and land in ten.
Plain-language notes
The fixed quote covers everything; nothing is billed later.
01 — Services
Three services, one standard of care
Whatever you need finished, it starts the same way: scope on paper, price in writing, date locked.
Color
Grade & 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
Finishing touch
Portraits, products and editorial work, cleaned and balanced without that plastic look. Skin stays skin, texture stays texture, and the client stays happy.

A few recent finishes
03 — The studio
Every project, one pair of hands.
NICOLETA CREȚU is a one-person post house, run by NICOLETA CREȚU 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.
Volume is not the goal. A clear schedule, a written brief, and a delivery date we keep — that is the method.
- 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
Four steps, no surprises
Quote
One fixed price and one delivery date, in writing. A 50% deposit holds your slot; the balance lands on delivery.
Scope
We write down what we will and won't do, confirm the footage list, and lock the deadline before any work starts.
Final files
Masters, all formats, captions and a change summary — delivered on the committed date.
Deliver
Final payment, master files, and every format and caption you asked for.

Thoughts on the craft
Cinematic is a decision, not a preset
Drone shots and grain overlays do not make something cinematic — the decisions around the cut do.

Reading the histogram like a map
The histogram is not a beauty filter — it is a map of the scene, and it rarely lies.

Working on eyes without deadening them
The subtle craft of keeping catchlights and life in a cleaned-up portrait.

She treated our raw wedding footage like it mattered. The timeline notes were the clearest I have ever received.
