Fadl A.
YouTube & Short-Form Video Editor | Retention-Driven, Viral Hooks
👋 I’m Fadl—a data-driven YouTube video editor who turns watch-time spikes into loyal fans. Over the past four years I’ve helped channels like Ali Abdaal, The Diary of a CEO, and Matt D’Avella raise average view duration by 25-40 % and cross the 1 M-view mark on multiple uploads (see portfolio links). My edits blend tight storytelling, punchy motion graphics, and sound design that keeps thumbs off the scroll bar. What I deliver - Long-form YouTube edits: irresistible hooks, pacing that holds attention, narrative polish, end-screen optimization. - Shorts / Reels / TikTok: repurposed highlights engineered for 150 %+ loop rate. - Sound & colour: broadcast-level audio in Audition, cinematic grades in DaVinci. - Growth insight: thumbnail/title A/B ideas and analytics deep-dives so every upload improves the next. Why it works 1- Audience first, algorithm second – content that resonates naturally ranks. 2- Real-time collaboration – Trello milestones and quick Loom check-ins keep us in sync. 3- 100 % on-time delivery – 150+ projects, never missed a deadline. Tools I use: - Premiere Pro. - Adobe Audition - After Effects. - DaVinci Next step Drop 30-60 seconds of raw footage (or a recent upload link) and I’ll return a free pacing audit within 24 h—no strings attached. Ready to turn browsers into superfans? ✨
