🚀 High-Retention Tech Edit: Mark Zuckerberg on the Future of AI

In this project, I took a raw interview segment of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussing the future of AI and repurposed it into a premium, high-retention vertical clip. The goal was to optimize the tech-heavy dialogue for fast-paced social media platforms.

My Editorial Strategy & Execution:

Kinetic Subtitles & Typography: Designed custom, highly-readable animated subtitles in Adobe After Effects with color coding to emphasize critical technical terms.

Immersive Soundscape: Layered deep atmospheric risers, high-impact whooshes, and mechanical typing sound effects (SFX) synchronized perfectly with the text pop-ups to boost sensory engagement.

Pacing & Hook: Engineered a tight narrative structure by cutting out dead air and filler words, keeping the viewer hooked from the first 3 seconds.

Visual Enhancements: Integrated seamless zoom-ins, reframing, and subtle overlays to maintain a continuous visual rhythm throughout the explanation.

Tools Used: Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Professional Sound Libraries
