Editing & story
Structure first. We shape raw footage into something with a spine: pacing, sound design, subtitles and platform-native cutdowns that hold attention past the first three seconds.

Why SteadyScenes
Four reasons studios
keep sending us work
The four things we hold ourselves to on every single project, no matter the size of the budget.
Four commitments, every project
Built for you, not from a template
Every project starts from your footage, your brand and your audience, never a preset we reach for twice. The treatment is designed before a single cut is made.
On-time delivery, agreed up front
First cut in 3-5 business days, revision rounds inside 48 hours, and rush turnaround when you need it. The schedule is set before we start and we hold it.
Fair, transparent pricing
Clear scope, clear numbers, no surprise line items. Our process is tuned so the budget goes into the work on screen rather than into overhead.
One house standard
Every deliverable is graded, mixed and QC'd against the same bar before it leaves the studio, whether it is a 60-second spot or a batch of thirty shorts.
What we do
Three disciplines,
one post-production pipeline
Most projects touch more than one of these. They run through the same team, the same review process and the same delivery standard.
Motion & animation
Frame-by-frame craft. Explainers, kinetic type, logo stings and lightweight Lottie sets that ship straight into your site or app without dragging the page down.
Brand & product
Films that have to sell something. Company stories, product hero films, property walkthroughs and token launches, colour-graded and finished to broadcast spec.

How we work
A process that removes
the guesswork from post
Four stages, fixed checkpoints, and a named lead who stays on your project from brief to delivery.
01
Brief & scope
A call with one of the founders, not an account manager. We agree the deliverable list, the schedule and the number in writing before anything starts.
02
Footage & treatment
You send footage however suits you. We come back with a treatment: structure, reference, music direction and the look we're aiming for.
03
First cut & revisions
First cut lands in 3-5 business days with timestamped comments open. Revision rounds turn around inside 48 hours.
04
Finishing & delivery
Grade, mix, captions and every format on the deliverable list, plus project files if you want them. Archived for twelve months.
The founders
You talk to the people
who do the work
SteadyScenes is led by two founders who are still hands-on in every project. There is no layer between you and the edit.
Editing, structure and sound
Sakith Suhanjala
Co-Founder · Edit & Story Lead
I start every project in the transcript, not the timeline. If the structure is wrong, no amount of grading saves it. Most of my week is spent finding the version of a story that earns its runtime.
- Long-form editing
- Story structure
- Sound design
- Multi-cam
Motion graphics, colour and delivery
Devinda Mahasen
Co-Founder · Motion & Finishing Lead
I handle everything after the cut is locked: motion, grade, and getting files out the door on spec. I'd rather spend an extra hour on a transition than ship something that only works at full screen.

Testimonials
What it's like
working with us
Placeholder quotes, awaiting approved client testimonials
“They took a folder of footage we had written off and came back with something we put straight on the homepage. The schedule never moved once.”
Amara Silva
Head of Brand, Northwind
“The first cut was closer to final than most studios manage on their third. Two rounds and we were done.”
Daniel Okafor
Marketing Director, Luma Audio
“We brief them once and a month of content comes back on spec. It has taken an entire workflow off my team's plate.”
Priya Raman
Content Lead, Atlas Fitness
“Talking straight to the people cutting the video changes everything. Nothing gets lost being relayed through an account manager.”
Tomas Berg
Founder, Orbit Labs
“Eleven interviews, no script, and they found the film in the overlap. I still do not know how.”
Rachel Adeyemi
People Director, Arcwell
“Every file landed under our performance budget on first submission. Our engineers had rejected the previous vendor twice.”
Kenji Watanabe
Design Systems Lead, Flowbank
“The recap was live before the venue had emptied. That is the whole reason we booked them again.”
Sofia Marchetti
Events Manager, Summit Collective
“They pushed back on our brief, and they were right. The film is better for the argument.”
Marcus Hale
Creative Director, Mintforge
“Nine assets that feel like one campaign without any two being interchangeable. Exactly what we asked for and could not articulate.”
Ines Duarte
Brand Manager, Nova Skincare
“Quoted on Monday, first cut on Thursday, delivered the following week. No chasing.”
Oliver Grant
Product Marketing, Pulse
“Five self-recorded interviews on five different cameras, and they read as one set. The grade did most of the work.”
Hannah Weiss
Customer Marketing, Clearpath
“The walkthrough became the listing's lead asset within a day. We now use that treatment across the whole premium tier.”
