Raihan G.
YouTube & Short-Form Video Editor for Coaches & Founders | 200M+ Views
200M+ views across 1,700+ videos. I edit YouTube and short-form for coaches, founders and educators, and I focus on the part most edits get wrong: the first 30 seconds. Most good videos lose viewers early, and it's usually the edit, not the idea. I care less about making every frame look impressive and more about whether someone is still watching four minutes in: tight talking-head cuts, a story that holds attention, and motion graphics that make complex ideas easy to follow. The results: - Will Barron, sales coach and founder of Salesman .com: 650K+ views, and his channel went from 0 to 15K subscribers. In his words: "Raihan is an incredible editor and is always prompt with replies and delivering work." - Berk Sezgin, AI educator (36K+ subscribers): the videos I've edited for him have pulled 380K+ views, and his Claude tutorial alone passed 246K. - Tapa, Instagram and AI educator: Reels that took his account from 0 to 245K followers, with 67M+ views. - Christopher Zita: Reels, long-form YouTube and VSLs for 3+ years. His Instagram grew by 125K+ followers (8.6M+ views) and his YouTube passed 1M views. - Photography Explained: 2M+ views, and the channel grew from 30K to 95K+ subscribers. I've edited most of their videos since 2024, including the animated explainers. - DubaiCatch: I edited two of their most-watched videos, at 138K and 72K views. Other clients include Helen Guo's SMB Deal Hunter, STRIVE Integrative Health, Optimum HR, Elevation Marketing, LADNEK, Limitless Real Estate and Ray White agents. What I edit: - Long-form YouTube: talking head, interviews, podcasts, documentary-style - Explainer animation in After Effects, done in-house, so you don't need a second freelancer - Short-form: Shorts and Reels cut from your long-form, or shot vertical - VSLs and paid social ads for Meta and YouTube Why clients stay with me for years: - You get your edit fast. Long-form in 3-5 days, short-form in 1-2 days. - I learn your style once, so you never have to explain it twice. - You leave time-stamped notes right on the video, and I fix them. 3 revision rounds are included. - You'll hear back within a few hours, and you'll never have to chase me for a draft. Here's an easy way to start. Send me one raw video and your channel name, and I'll tell you exactly what I'd change in the first 30 seconds, for free. If you like what you hear, we'll talk about the rest.
