Talking-Head Video Editor | YouTube, VSL & Reels | Motion Graphics
Top Rated video editor with 100% Job Success, 300+ completed Upwork jobs and $50K+ earned. I edit talking-head content for coaches, founders and personal brands who need their videos to hold attention and look premium. If you record yourself on camera and want an editor who can take the raw footage and hand back a finished, ready-to-publish video without hand-holding, that is what I do. WHAT I EDIT - YouTube talking-head videos (8 to 30 minutes): tight pacing, strong first 30 seconds, b-roll, on-screen text and motion graphics - Video sales letters and ad creatives: clean, direct, built to keep the viewer through the offer - Online courses, speaker and keynote videos: full lessons and talks edited into a consistent, professional series - Brand, SaaS and product launch videos: logo animation, motion graphics, music and sound design - Short-form (Reels, Shorts, TikTok): animated captions, punch-ins, sound design, built for the first 3 seconds - Podcast and interview episodes: multi-cam cuts, audio cleanup, plus short clips pulled from each episode HOW I WORK - You send footage and a reference video. I match the style, or propose one if you do not have it yet. - First draft on an agreed deadline, with revision rounds defined up front so there are no surprises. - One point of contact, clear updates, and files organised so you can reuse assets later. - Comfortable with long-term weekly schedules. TOOLS Adobe Premiere Pro (Premiere Pro Expert certification), After Effects for motion graphics, sound design, colour correction and captions. PROOF See the portfolio below for client video testimonials, talking-head edits in the Iman Gadzhi style, a SaaS promo video, VSL, podcast and ad edits, and my work for a Shark Tank-featured brand. Best fit: ongoing work or projects where quality matters more than the lowest price. Send me a link to a video you like and a sample of your raw footage. I will tell you exactly how I would edit it, the turnaround, and a fixed price per video.
