About Christopher Rognan

Emmy winning Senior Video Editor and Digital Content Producer with a videographer’s eye and a producer’s discipline. I deliver broadcast polished stories for sports, documentary, and brand, packaged natively for YouTube, Shorts/Reels, and podcasts. Strengths include narrative structure, pacing, finishing, and rapid versioning without losing story. Highlights: Emmy Award — Best Editor (ESPN). Line produced and edited Shark Men, National Geographic’s record setting ratings leader. Created about 115 broadcast TV episodes and specials across sports and outdoor. Built about 20 hours of curriculum and shipped about three edited videos per week plus a weekly podcast for a behavioral health brand. What I run: compact pipelines that move from brief and script to shoot plan, edit, review, and publish. Multicam sync and string outs; VO sessions and dialogue cleanup and mix; color (Log/LUT aware); captions and subtitles and delivery to broadcast and social specs. Standardized Frame.io reviews to reduce re edits and speed approvals. Comfortable shaping testimonials, athlete features, opens, promos, brand stories, and training modules. Recent focus: content calendars and series development, interview direction, platform native packaging (metadata, thumbnails, vertical cutdowns), and repackaging masters for OTT and social while preserving narrative pace. Selected work: ESPN; National Geographic (Shark Men); Discovery Channel; NBC Sports; Outdoor Channel; ABC; plus brand and agency projects. Core stack: Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve (finishing and color), Frame.io, Audition, Photoshop, After Effects (basic), Apple Motion. Media management at scale (about 40 TB libraries).
