Video Editor | YouTube, Documentary, TikTok/Reels, AI Video & Ads

Most editors hand you a timeline. I hand you a video built to hold attention, with a story, pacing, and a hook that lands in the first 3 seconds. I’m a long term video editor who helps YouTubers, agencies, coaches, authors, and e-commerce and SaaS brands grow their views, increase sales, and build brand awareness with high converting, high quality videos. I edit documentary style and explainer YouTube videos, short form content for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts, and AI-generated video ads, all with consistent, on brand quality. How I Work 1. Brief and references: I study your reference videos, brand guidelines, and goals so the edit matches your style before I touch the timeline. 2. Story and structure: I cut dead space, mistakes, and slow moments, then shape the story for pacing and viewer retention. 3. Hook first: Every video gets a strong opening, whether it’s a 30 second Short or a 15min documentary. 4. Visual layer: B-roll (stock or AI-generated), motion graphics, lower thirds, and mobile readable captions. 5. Sound design: Music, SFX, clean audio, and natural AI voiceover for a cinematic, professional feel. Fast delivery and feedback: Clear communication, on time delivery in the right format (including vertical 9:16), and quick, friendly revisions. What I Edit 1. YouTube documentaries, explainers, and faceless YouTube automation videos 2. TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts with scroll stopping hooks 3. AI UGC videos and AI-generated video ads for SaaS and e-commerce brands 4. Book trailers, real estate videos, and talking head content Tools: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, and leading AI video and voice tools. I’m happy to start with a paid test project so you can judge the work first. If you want an editor who communicates clearly, meets deadlines, delivers fast, and sticks around for the long term, send me your brief and references and let’s make something great.
