Short-Form Video Editor | YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reels & Ads
I edit short-form videos and YouTube content that people actually watch to the end. For almost two years I made Shorts, TikToks and Reels for WESN, a Swedish YouTube channel with around 650,000 subscribers and millions of views a month. I did the whole chain there: idea, hook, script, filming, voiceover and the final edit. What I can help you with: - YouTube Shorts, TikToks and Reels, from raw footage or cut from your long videos - YouTube videos with tight pacing, b-roll, sound design and captions - Short video ads for brands and products - Hooks and scripts, if you want help with that part too I work mainly in DaVinci Resolve, including Fusion for tracking and animated highlights. I also use Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop. I have a two-year film education from a film school in Stockholm and produced the short film "Barnsoldaten", which won bronze at Stockholm's short film festival. A 30-second Short needs the same sense of pacing as a short film, just faster. How I work: depending on your project you should get a first cut within 2-3 days, 2 rounds of revisions are included, and I keep you posted along the way. I'm based in Stockholm. Send me a link to your channel or some of your footage and I'll tell you how I'd approach it.
