Post Production Built for the Bay Area Pace of Work
San Francisco marketing teams rarely have six weeks to wait on an edit. Launches move, keynotes get rescheduled, and footage from Tuesday is expected on Thursday landing pages. Argus HD is built for that reality. Our post team sits in South San Francisco, close enough for an in person review session and fast enough to turn a full event shoot into publish ready assets inside the same week.
We finish video for enterprise marketing departments, product teams, agencies, and founders across the city and the wider Bay Area. Some clients hand us a drive from a shoot they produced themselves. Others bring us in for the full run from camera to master. Either way you get one editor, one producer, and one schedule you can plan a launch around.
— Post Suite
Post Production Services in San Francisco
Every stage of finishing under one roof. Offline edit, color, audio, graphics, captions, and multi format delivery handled by an in house team, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between vendors.
Video Editing and Story Assembly
Multicam sync, selects, rough cuts, and final picture lock. Our editors shape interviews, event footage, and scripted material into a story that holds attention from the first frame.
Color Correction and Grading
Shot matching, exposure and skin tone correction, and a finished grade built on calibrated reference monitors so your brand colors read the same on a phone, a laptop, and a stage screen.
Sound Design, Mix and ADR
Dialogue cleanup, noise reduction, music selection, sound design, and a balanced final mix. We also run ADR sessions when location audio cannot be rescued any other way.
Motion Graphics and VFX
Titles, lower thirds, animated logos, data visualization, screen replacements, and cleanup work, all built from your brand kit so every deliverable looks like it came from the same company.
Captions, Subtitles and Localization
Burned in and sidecar caption files, accurate transcripts, and subtitle tracks in additional languages for accessibility requirements and global audiences.
Cutdowns and Multi Format Delivery
One master becomes a full asset library. Vertical and square variants, sixty, thirty, and fifteen second cuts, platform specific encodes, and archive ready files your team can pull from later.
Why Choose Argus HD
Post Production That Protects Your Deadline and Your Detail
One In House Team, Not a Freelancer Chain
Your editor, colorist, audio engineer, and motion designer work in the same building on the same schedule. Nothing gets subcontracted out to a stranger, so notes get answered the day you send them and quality stays consistent across every deliverable.
A Real Post Suite in South San Francisco
Calibrated grading monitors, a treated audio room, and enterprise storage at our South San Francisco facility. Sit in for a session if you want eyes on the grade, or approve remotely with timecoded comments. Both work, and neither costs you a week.
Delivery Specs Handled, Not Guessed
Loudness standards, codec requirements, caption formats, and platform specs get checked against the destination before you ever see the file. A rejected master on launch day is not a small problem, so we take that step off your plate entirely.

Post Production Support Across San Francisco and the Bay Area
Our post team works with clients throughout the city and the wider Bay Area. Footage arrives by hand delivered drive, secure upload, or straight off one of our own shoots, and the first review link goes out the same day the assembly is ready. If your team wants to be in the suite for a session, we are a short drive south of downtown with parking on site.

In Suite Sessions or Fully Remote Review
Some clients want to be in the room for the grade. Others want a link, a comment thread, and a version two by Friday. Argus HD runs both. Our review platform timestamps every note, so feedback from your brand lead, your legal reviewer, and your product manager arrives as one consolidated list instead of four conflicting email threads.
We also handle secure media management for footage under embargo, including access controlled storage, watermarked review copies, and NDA coverage for unreleased products. Enterprise teams in San Francisco ask for this constantly, so it is built into how we work rather than billed as an extra.
- Our Process
How Our San Francisco Post Production Process Works
01
Footage Intake and Media Management
We ingest your cards, drives, or uploads, back everything up to redundant storage, sync multicam and external audio, and build a labeled project so nothing goes missing three revisions later.
02
Story Assembly and First Cut
Your editor pulls selects, builds a transcript based assembly, and delivers a first cut with the story structure already in place, so your earliest notes are about substance rather than polish.
03
Client Review and Revisions
You get a timecoded review link. Notes from every stakeholder land in one thread, we work through them in defined rounds, and each version ships with a change log so nobody loses track of what moved.
04
Color, Graphics, and Sound
Once picture is locked, the grade, the motion graphics package, and the audio mix run in parallel. Titles come straight from your brand kit and the mix is balanced to hold up in headphones and on a ballroom PA.
05
Quality Control and Approval
Every master is checked frame by frame for sync, spelling, legal text, loudness, and caption accuracy before it reaches you. Final approval should be a formality, not a fire drill.
06
Delivery and Archive
You receive masters, platform encodes, cutdowns, captions, and project files in the structure your team asked for. Source media stays archived, so the next edit does not start from zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions San Francisco marketing and creative teams ask us most often before handing over their footage.
It depends on runtime, footage volume, and how much finishing the piece actually needs. A single interview edit with light graphics and captions usually lands in the high hundreds to low thousands. A multi day event package with several cutdowns, a full grade, and a custom graphics kit runs into five figures. We scope from your real footage and your deliverables list, then send a line item quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
A standard corporate or interview edit takes roughly one to two weeks from footage delivery to final master, including two rounds of revisions. Event recaps and social cutdowns can turn in twenty four to forty eight hours when the schedule demands it. Larger brand films with custom animation and a full mix typically run three to five weeks. Tell us your launch date and we will tell you honestly whether it is workable.
Yes, and we do it constantly. Send the cards, a drive, or a secure upload along with any scripts, brand assets, and reference edits. Our team handles ingest, backup, sync, and organization before the edit begins. If there are gaps or coverage problems in the footage we flag them in the first days rather than discovering them at picture lock.
Broadcast and archive masters, platform ready encodes for YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and Vimeo, vertical and square variants, caption and subtitle files, transcripts, thumbnails, and project files on request. Tell us where the video is going and we deliver to that spec, rather than handing you one file to figure out.
Yes. Plenty of clients bring us a locked edit that only needs a grade, a mix, an ADR session, or a graphics package. We can work inside your existing project files, or take an XML or AAF and return finished elements that drop straight back into your timeline.
