Miguel Angel R.
Expert YouTube Video Editor | High-Retention Travel & Vlog Content
I help creators turn raw footage and long-form scripts into compelling YouTube stories with strong narrative drive, high retention, and cinematic depth. As an active YouTube creator with over 900,000 views on my own channel, I understand firsthand what keeps viewers hooked: from the crucial first 10 seconds to the final frame. Whether you need dynamic, fast-paced vlogs or immersive, documentary-style videos with deliberate visual pacing, I build edits designed to maximize watch time. What I bring to your project: * Retention-Focused Pacing: Structuring narrative arcs, zoom cuts, and visual hooks to minimize drop-off. * Cinematic Storytelling & Visual Assets: Integrating 3D map animations, motion graphics, custom titles, clean subtitles, and historical footage to ground your story. * Immersive Sound Design: Layered audio, realistic ambient effects, and balanced music mixing that build emotional depth. * Professional Color Grading: Tailored visual looks that give your long-form footage a polished, high-end feel. How we work together: * The Brief & Footage: You share your raw footage, script/voice-over, and reference links. * The Rough Cut: I assemble the narrative backbone, refining structure, pacing, and visual flow. * The Polish: I add motion graphics, 3D maps, color grading, and layered audio design. * Final Delivery: You receive a YouTube-ready video optimized for engagement. Software Toolkit: * Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects Drop me a message and let’s build your story!
