YouTube & Reels Video Editor | Talking Head | Meta Ads | Documentary

3 Years of consistent video editing. Up to date with all the AI adaption, AI tools, and the automation industry. NO STRINGS ATTACHED POLICY ✅ I will make a portion of your video for you to review, if you are satisfied, we continue, if not, you can walk away without any obligations. You shouldn't have to explain every cut, transition, B-roll choice, hook, pacing change, or animation to your video editor. I take raw footage, scripts, voiceovers, podcasts, and rough ideas and turn them into finished videos built for the platform and audience they're meant for. I'm a Top Rated Video Editor with 100+ videos edited across YouTube, short-form content, Meta ads, documentaries, courses, podcasts, vlogs, and branded content. I work with creators, brands, businesses, and agencies across finance, real estate, fitness, education, ecommerce, restaurants, SaaS, sports, and more. ──────────────────────────── YOUTUBE VIDEO EDITING ──────────────────────────── • Long-form YouTube video editing • Talking head videos • Documentary-style videos • Faceless YouTube videos • YouTube automation content • Educational videos • Explainer videos • Video essays • Vlogs • Interviews • Reaction videos • Personal brand content • YouTube Shorts • B-roll and stock footage sourcing • Retention-focused pacing • Sound design and music • Motion graphics and animations • Color correction and grading ──────────────────────────── SHORT-FORM VIDEO EDITING ──────────────────────────── • Instagram Reels • TikTok videos • YouTube Shorts • Facebook Reels • Talking head clips • Podcast clips • Short-form storytelling • Retention editing • Animated captions and subtitles • Dynamic text and typography • Pattern interrupts • Punch-ins and zooms • B-roll integration • Sound effects • Social media repurposing • Multiple variations for different platforms ──────────────────────────── VIDEO ADS & PERFORMANCE CONTENT ──────────────────────────── • Meta video ads • Facebook video ads • Instagram video ads • TikTok ads • YouTube ads • UGC-style ads • Ecommerce video ads • Product videos • Direct response ads • VSL editing • Promotional videos • Testimonial videos • Case study videos • Multiple ad variations • Hook variations • CTA integration ──────────────────────────── DOCUMENTARY & FACELESS CONTENT ──────────────────────────── Have a script and voiceover but no footage?
