What Arcade Edit does

Arcade Edit is a privately held post-production editorial studio founded in 2009 and headquartered in Santa Monica (Los Angeles), with offices described in NYC and LA, operating in the advertising and entertainment content supply chain. The company delivers professional video editing, color grading, VFX finishing, and AI-assisted editing services for commercial campaigns, music videos, film, and television series, with a roster of 16 named editors and colorists working on projects for agencies and brands globally. Its client base is concentrated in major advertising agencies (Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO, Droga5, FCB, TBWA, Arnold, Anomaly) and Fortune 500 consumer brands including Apple, Google, Netflix, Nike, Bud Light, Toyota, Samsung, Paramount+, DoorDash, and FanDuel.

The studio's core technology stack centers on professional post-production craft — editorial, color grading, and VFX compositing — augmented by an AI service line positioned in its product navigation as "AI-powered editing and finishing tools integrated into the post-production workflow." The offering is presented as a service rather than a packaged product; there is no public API, SDK, or downloadable application, and no disclosed proprietary AI models or patents. The website functions as the primary marketing surface, with individual editor profile pages that showcase style and brand credits as the core sales asset, supplemented by an Instagram presence (@arcade_edit).

Commercially, Arcade Edit operates a sales-led B2B professional services model, with revenue generated through project-based contracts negotiated per engagement with agencies, production companies, and directly with brands. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined by project scope, complexity, and duration. Distribution is direct: agency relationships and direct brand engagement, both global in scope, with no intermediary channel structure or subscription pricing. The company is independently owned (no parent company, no institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds) and operates as a founder-led or privately held creative services business, with no public ticker or regulatory filings in evidence.
