Documentary Video Editor | Long-Form YouTube Storyteller | True Crime
I edit long form true crime and documentary videos that hold attention from the first frame to the last. That is the kind of storytelling that keeps people watching, and it is what serious YouTube channels are built on. For over three years I have worked with Vality Studio, editing long form content for clients across the US, UK, and Europe. My focus is true crime and documentary storytelling. I build tension and pacing, structure the narrative so viewers stay to the end, sync voiceover with archival footage and photos, and layer sound design that carries emotion without overwhelming the story. I also take on a select number of cinematic wedding films, for couples who want their day told as a story rather than a quick highlight reel. I work in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with DaVinci Resolve for color and CapCut Pro when speed matters. That covers narrative structure, color grading, motion graphics, sound design, voiceover syncing, and delivery that is ready for YouTube and other long form formats. I keep my project load just adequate so each one gets full attention. Communication stays fast and transparent, deadlines are met, and every edit is treated as a complete viewing experience. If you run a true crime or documentary channel, or you produce premium long form content, and you want an editor who understands retention and story, let us talk.
