I use the machines.
I don't let them use me.

VFX

Three projects where the effect serves the cut, not the other way round. If you notice the VFX, I’ve done it wrong.

ABOUT

Francesco Aiena — Video Editor

I cut music videos, festival aftermovies, and the occasional VFX-heavy piece. Most days I’m in Premiere or DaVinci, sometimes in After Effects, occasionally feeding a ComfyUI graph at 2 a.m.

What I do

  1. 01

    Editing & pacing

    From a 15-second vertical to a 4-minute aftermovie. The cut sets the rhythm; everything else follows.

  2. 02

    Motion & design

    After Effects daily. Type animation, kinetic graphics, micro-interactions that serve the edit instead of overpowering it.

  3. 03

    VFX & compositing

    Wire removals, sky replacements, light wraps, cleanup. If you notice the effect, I’ve done it wrong.

  4. 04

    AI-augmented post

    Custom ComfyUI graphs, LoRAs trained on brand assets, generative previz. AI accelerates the pipeline, doesn’t replace the eye.

  5. 05

    Colour & finish

    DaVinci grade, look development per project, delivery in spec. The last 5% that makes the rest land.
