Derek F.
YouTube Video Editor | Decades of Experience & 220K+ Channel Growth
Hey there. If you’re looking for a reliable editor who actually understands how YouTube works from the creator's perspective, I’d love to help out. Most video editors focus purely on making a video "look pretty." But as a creator who built a YouTube channel from 0 to 220,000+ subscribers, I know what truly matters: Audience Retention, CTR physics, and the YouTube Algorithm. Since 2011, I have spent over a decade mastering the art of visual storytelling. I don't just assemble clips—I strategically engineer pacing, sound design, and pattern interrupts to ensure your audience stays glued to the screen from the first second to the end screen. I like to keep things smooth, engaging, and genuine. Whether you're making deep-dive long-form videos or quick social clips, I can help you polish your content across platforms: -Long-Form YouTube Videos: Focused on clean storytelling, good pacing, natural sound design, and keeping viewers engaged from start to finish. -Instagram & Facebook: Converting your main content into relaxed, scroll-stopping clips with clear, clean styling. -YouTube Strategy & SEO: Making sure your video structure aligns nicely with search intent and what the platform likes to recommend. What it's like working with me: -Zero Stress: You hand over the raw footage, and I take care of the rest—cuts, color, audio, and graphics. -Creator-to-Creator Mindset: I treat your channel with the same care I treated my own. -Versatile Editing: I can adapt to whatever aesthetic you're aiming for, keeping it clean and professional. If you want an editor who is easy to communicate with and knows the ins and outs of the platform, feel free to drop me a message. Let's chat about your channel and see if we're a good fit. Sincerely, Derek
