Umair B.
YouTube & Short-Form Video Editor | Faceless, Podcast & Webinar Edits
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I would recommend Umair for any project that you have! His work is incredible, he is timely and will always work until you are completely happy with the final product! He is easy to work with and truly an amazing find!" The most recent feedback from my client. I edit YouTube videos and short-form content that keep people watching — faceless and automation channels, podcasts, webinars, and Reels, TikToks and Shorts for creators and brands. I've been editing professionally since 2020 and have completed 76+ projects here on Upwork for YouTube channels, podcast hosts, coaches and ecommerce brands. As one client put it: "He is my number one video editor out of several that I have." WHAT I EDIT 1: YouTube long-form Talking-head videos, tutorials, vlogs and documentary-style content. Tight pacing, dead air removed, B-roll, zooms, captions, sound design and color correction. 2: Faceless / YouTube automation Voiceover-led videos built from stock footage, images and motion graphics — construction, megaprojects, tech, history, list and story formats. 3: Short-form (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) A strong hook in the first seconds, word-by-word captions and clean, fast pacing. I also turn long videos and podcasts into standalone clips. 4: Podcasts and webinars Multi-camera podcast episodes, podcast trailers, and webinar edits with highlight clips. 5: Ecommerce and UGC ads Short-form ad creatives and variations for testing. 5: Motion graphics Intros, lower thirds, logo animations and animated titles in After Effects. HOW I WORK - You share footage, references and notes. I ask questions before I start, not after. - I match your style (or build one with you) and keep it consistent from video to video. - You review on a link, leave timecoded comments, and I revise until it's right. - Clear updates and deadlines you can plan around. I usually reply within a few hours. Tools: Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, Photoshop and Illustrator. I use AI tools where they actually save time — transcripts, rough selects, AI-generated B-roll — and finish every edit by hand. For ongoing or high-volume work: I'm also the founder of Vortex Xcel, a small video editing team, so larger monthly volumes can be handled without missed deadlines. Send me one video and a channel you like, and I'll tell you exactly how I'd edit it. We can start with a small first project so you can judge the quality before committing to more.
