Nineteen years ago, I first heard about the possibility of editing video on a regular home computer. One of my friends was cutting together anime images using Movie Maker, the most basic editing software at the time, which ran on Windows XP. A bit later, one of my classmates added music to a recording from a school trip, and I was curious how he did it. It must have been around 2008 when I got a copy of Sony Vegas Pro 9 from one of my classmates. From the very first moment, I enjoyed playing around with it — discovering things on my own and figuring out how everything worked.
Back then, there weren’t many tutorials on YouTube, so I had to learn most things on my own. I couldn’t stop experimenting with the editing software, and for the past 16 years, I’ve been editing almost every day.
In 2009, Róbert Csaba Szabó, then head of the NMD dance department, asked me to improve a single-camera recording filmed at the “Dalfesztivál” talent show. Although it wasn’t really recommended to crop digitally in post-production, I divided the single Full HD shot into several frames and cut it as dynamically as I could. Perhaps the high-level reworking of this video was what made people start noticing my work.
In 2016, I began gradually transitioning to Adobe Premiere, and by 2019 I switched to DaVinci Resolve, which I’ve been using for all my projects ever since. Since 2012, I have edited more than 150 multi-camera theatre performances, short films, music videos, concert recordings, commercials, feature films, and many other creative works.
In many cases, an editor’s task is not only to tell the story but also to maximize the aesthetic presentation of the material. So first, I’d like to show you a recording where the lack of proper lighting on location was a major disadvantage, yet I had to achieve the most dynamic and visually pleasing result possible through post-production.
In 2023, I created a new trailer for my feature film "Too Expensive Blunder" (2016),
which I believe easily meets international ACE standards.
I had to create aftermovies for multiple events organized in different locations across the city.
Since 2012, I have filmed and edited numerous high-quality multi-camera recordings of theatre performances for the Szigligeti Theatre in Oradea.
