Long-Form YouTube Video Editor | Retention-Focused Editing for Growing

If you've invested in editing for a while and your channel still hasn't moved, not even slightly, that's not bad luck. It's a sign the work isn't built around retention, and every month that continues is money and time you won't get back. I specialize in long-form YouTube editing built around one thing: keeping people watching. Most editors focus on making a video look good. I focus on why a video performs, and build every edit around that. ✅ My edits have helped videos reach 10x their usual views by fixing the pacing, audio, and structural issues that quietly kill retention. About me: I'm Youssef, a Top Rated, 100% Job Success video editor based in Tunisia, working in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. I don't place clips on a timeline, I engineer pacing, structure, and flow around audience behavior. That's the difference between a video that looks fine and one that actually grows a channel. What I bring to every project: Long-form YouTube editing built around watch time and retention Pacing, structure, and flow engineered to hold attention Sound design and audio mixing (SFX, music, voice balance) Color correction and grading for a clean, premium look Who I work with: I take on long-term partnerships with creators serious about growing their channel, not one-off gigs. My portfolio and track record speak for themselves, so I don't do free tests or unpaid trials. Next step: Send me your footage or a reference video. We'll talk specifics, your channel, your goals, and whether this is the right fit.
