Santiago H.
Short-Form Video Editor | Reels, TikTok & Shorts | Bilingual EN/ES
I edit short-form videos that keep people watching: Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts with strong hooks, clean pacing, bold captions and motion text. What I do: • Talking-head edits: cut dead air, add captions, b-roll and cutaways • Brand and restaurant content: beat-synced cuts, color, product shots • Storytelling and explainers: illustrated stories, AI avatar videos • Bilingual content in English and Spanish (Portuguese too) 1,500+ hours on Upwork editing video for a US law firm, plus 10 years as an audiovisual producer for brands like Paceña, BoA and Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz. My background as a journalist and scriptwriter means I can also help with hooks, scripts and on-screen copy. Tools: CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro. Fast turnaround, clear communication, and I'm available 30+ hrs/week, including Latin American and US hours.
