Debby Lamberti
@debbylamberti
Video editor specializing in broadcast and social media content, bringing precise offline/online finishing.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a video editor and assistant editor who delivers broadcast-ready storytelling for television, branded marketing, and digital platforms. I’ve produced and finished short- and long-form content, from syncing video and audio to exporting finals for broadcast.
I work confidently across offline and online workflows—importing rushes, transcoding and consolidating clips, digitising Betacam tapes for edit, grouping multi-cam scenes, and supporting tight deadlines. I’m hands-on with colour grading and audio mixing to keep everything polished for delivery.
In addition to editorial work, I’ve supported production and marketing teams by preparing Avid projects for offline editors and assisting online editors with scene preps. I also bring experience sourcing SFX/GFX and managing multiple projects while collaborating with teams under pressure.
Whether I’m editing inserts and pre-records for a live youth show, cutting promos and marketing pieces, or producing corporate and in-house videos, my goal stays the same: create engaging, production-ready footage that’s consistent, fast, and easy for teams to build on.
