Ricky R.
Short-Form & AI Video Creator | Visual Creative | TikTok, Reels, Ads
Hi! I’m Ricky, a Short-Form Video Editor, UGC Creator, and marketer who helps brands turn raw footage, AI-generated content, and ideas into engaging videos for social media, Meta Ads, and e-commerce. I have a background in marketing and hands-on experience working with brands, so I understand that a good video isn’t just about looking nice. It needs to grab attention, communicate the message clearly, and make people want to keep watching. Here’s what I can help you with: * Short-Form Video Editing — TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other vertical content * Meta Ads — scroll-stopping video ads designed for Facebook & Instagram * E-commerce Videos — product videos, ads, promos, and conversion-focused content * UGC Video Editing — natural, authentic edits for UGC-style content * AI Video Editing — editing and putting together AI-generated footage, visuals, voiceovers, and other AI content * Multilingual Video Editing — videos in different languages, including subtitles, captions, and on-screen text * UGC Creation — I can also shoot UGC videos in both English and Indonesian * Social Media Content — storytelling, hooks, captions, pacing, transitions, and platform-friendly formats I can work with both client-provided footage and content that needs to be created or enhanced with AI. My editing style can be adapted to your brand, from casual and native-looking TikToks to clean, cinematic, premium, or performance-focused ads. A few things I bring to every project: * Marketing knowledge, not just editing skills * Strong understanding of short-form content and social media * Attention to hooks, pacing, retention, and storytelling * Comfortable working with different languages and content styles * Easy to communicate with and open to feedback * Flexible with different brand voices and creative directions I also create content for my own social media, with 19K+ followers on TikTok, so I understand both the creator and brand side of short-form content. If you have raw footage, a script, an AI-generated video, or even just an idea — send it my way and let’s turn it into something people actually want to watch.
