When Trim Editing started creating music videos over a decade ago, just paying the rent was a huge accomplishment. Now, the small East London company is crafting award-winning visuals for big brands - like Audi, Nike, Adidas, and Guinness - propelled by the power of Final Cut Pro X. The video editing software's comprehensive features allow Trim Editing to organize film and audio clips, pull together compelling projects, and make changes on the fly.
