Service details

Most content fails because it loses attention early. I build videos designed to hold it.

I specialize in retention-focused editing for YouTube long-form, Shorts, and Reels built around structure, pacing, and psychological flow. Not loud effects. Not random trend chasing. Just deliberate editing decisions that keep viewers engaged from the first frame to the final second.


Every project begins with strategy. Before touching the timeline, I focus on one thing: what is this video meant to achieve? Growth? Authority? Conversions? From there, I shape the hook, refine the narrative arc, remove friction points, and elevate the visual and audio experience so the final product feels cohesive and intentional.

My editing approach blends story-first structure with subtle cinematic polish. Cuts are purposeful. Transitions support the emotion. Captions reinforce clarity. Nothing exists without a reason.


What’s included in every project:

🎯 Strategic 3-second hooks built to stop the scroll

⚡ Tight, high-retention pacing calibrated to platform behavior

📽️ Clean, cinematic transitions that enhance rather than distract

💬 Dynamic captions and visual emphasis for accessibility and clarity

🎨 Professional color balance and controlled visual tone

🔊 Clean, immersive sound design

📦 Platform-optimized exports ready for publishing


I focus on watch time, clarity, and long-term brand positioning, not short-lived hype.

If you want an editor who approaches your content with structure, discipline, and performance in mind, let’s build something that works consistently—not accidentally.

Special note from freelancer
I don’t just edit videos. I engineer them for retention, clarity, and long-term growth. Every cut is intentional, every transition purposeful, and every delivery optimized for performance.
FAQs
What do you need from me to get started?

Please send your raw footage, clear instructions, reference videos (if any), and the platform you’re publishing on. The more clarity you provide, the better the final result.

Do you guarantee viral results?

No editor can guarantee virality. My focus is on retention, structure, and clarity to improve watch time and overall performance.

What platforms do you optimize for?

I edit for YouTube (long-form & Shorts), Instagram Reels, and TikTok. Videos are formatted and paced according to platform behavior.

How many revisions are included?

Revisions depend on the selected package. Additional revisions can be added if needed.

Do you provide project files?

Project files are available as a paid extra. Most clients only need the final exported video.

What type of content do you work with?

I work with educational, motivational, informational, and brand content that values clarity and structured storytelling.

How many versions for Basic?

Only one revision will be provided. Additional can be given with extra fees.

    I’m a short-form video editor focused on retention-driven storytelling. I don’t just cut clips. I build rhythm, hook attention in the first seconds, and design captions and motion that feel native to the platform. My goal is simple: turn your footage into content that people actually watch till the end. Let’s create videos that perform, not just look good.
