Video editor Larry Asbell has been creating and polishing video programs for more than 20 years. From PBS documentaries to convention videos, from museum exhibits to fundraising programs – he has edited programs for hundreds of clients. Independent producers, networks and associations return to him year after year because they depend on his dedication to their jobs and an easy, creative collaboration.

Larry is ready to meet one of the biggest challenges of editing today -- capturing material from dozens of possible source formats and resolutions and gracefully combine them into a unified whole. And he has the flexibility to provide your finished production in whatever format you require, from tape masters, to web compressions, to SD and Blu-Ray DVDs.

Larry has seen the art of editing from the days of film and linear tape, through non-linear editing in standard def -- to today’s multiple formats of High Definition video. He is equally skilled in both Avid and Final Cut Pro editing and owns and maintains up-to-date versions of both systems. His full complement of SD and HD VTRs, DVD recorders and monitoring provides the flexibility you need at hand.

Are you a communications director or marketing manager charged with producing a new video? Maybe you’re a specialist in the subject with little video-making experience sent out under a tight deadline to get a video done. Whether you’re a first-timer or a pro, working with Larry will insure you return with a polished production that exceeds expectations.

Whether paring down interviews to the essential thoughts or building a dramatic montage to music, Larry brings a keen eye and ear to every project. With his extensive technical ability, he anticipates and overcomes technical obstacles to keep your creative process on track and keep you on budget.

Conveniently located on K Street in Georgetown, his studio has easy parking and a scenic view of the Potomac River and Key Bridge.
